Swathes of Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia are underwater, as rescue teams continue to discover the bodies of flood victims.

The death toll currently stands at at least 44.

Marko Pavlovic is a journalist with Al Jazeera Balkans, based in Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He's told Darren Mara that on top of the flooding and landslides, there're now also concerns over live landmines still in the ground after conflict in the region in the early '90s.
