Inondations : la Bosnie-Herzégovine et la Serbie sous les eaux | dossier complet du Courrier des Balkans

Jamais les Balkans n’avaient connu de telles #inondations depuis 120 ans. Dans les deux pays les plus touchés, la Bosnie-Herzégovine et la Serbie, les dégâts matériels s’estiment déjà en milliards d’euros tandis que des villes entières doivent être évacuées - notamment Obrenovac et Šabac en Serbie. En Croatie, la Slavonie est également fort touchée. Pour l’instant, impossible d’avoir de bilan chiffré précis, mais le nombre de victimes s’alourdit d’heure en heure. Un immense élan de solidarité s’est mis en place au sein de la population locale, mais aussi de la diaspora et des pays des Balkans. Après avoir tardé à réagir, la communauté internationale a commencé à envoyer des vivres et des équipes de sauveteurs. Une amélioration des conditions météorologiques est attendue à partir du 20 mai, mais une seconde vague de pluie devrait arriver ensuite.
