Belgrade, Jumada I 15, 1436, Mar 6, 2015, SPA -- A man died Friday in a landslide in Bosnia as a wave of storms also closed down roads, flooded villages and disrupted power supplies throughout the Balkan region still recovering from record flooding last year. According to AP, Bosnian authorities said the man was killed by a pile of mud, rocks and trees that smashed his car while he was driving in central Bosnia early on Friday. More than two dozen people were forced to leave their flooded homes in western Serbia, as rain-swollen rivers spread over the farmland and several villages. Emergency officials sought to dispel fears that the rain and snow could lead to massive flooding similar to that of last May, when nearly 80 people died in the Balkans and about 140,000 had to leave their homes. "There is no reason to panic," said Serbian police official Predrag Maric. "We are on alert." --SPA 14:42 LOCAL TIME 11:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
