In Bosnia, at least 21 individuals lost their lives, and numerous others are reported missing due to flooding.
The N1 TV announced that 21 individuals perished, and numerous others went missing within the Jablanica region, located 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) southwest of Sarajevo.
An official press conference from the government is scheduled later on.
According to a representative from the Mountain Rescue Service, some villages within the area remain inaccessible, leaving uncertainty about the situation within these locations.
Torrential rain during the night inhibited search efforts, as reported by Bosnian media, but as it subsided, the hunt continued. Donja Jablanica saw numerous homes buried beneath debris.
Fortunately, Nezima Begovic, age 62, survived unscathed. Her home suffered damage, but she emerged unharmed.
Begovic shared with Reuters, "I heard people screaming and then it all went silent. I thought everyone had perished there."
Due to flash flooding on a recent Friday, a quarry above Donja Jablanica crumbled, raining debris onto homes and automobiles in the village.
Enes Imamovic, age 66, described being awoken by deafening sounds around 5 a.m. on Friday (11 p.m. ET Thursday).
"Everything was white (from the stones and dust that cascaded down from the quarry)," Imamovic explained to Reuters. "My friends' home was wiped out. I heard screams."
In response to the flooding, the Bosnian Football Association (NFSBIH) postponed all matches.
Bosnia's election commission opted to suspend local elections this weekend in flood-affected municipalities but proceed with voting elsewhere.
The flooding followed an unmatched summer drought that led to the drying up of numerous rivers and lakes, impacting agriculture and urban water supplies throughout the Balkans and various regions of Europe.
Meteorologists suggested that these extreme weather conditions could be the result of climate change.
The floods in Donja Jablanica have affected numerous regions beyond Bosnia, causing concerns in various parts of Europe.
Despite the calamities in Jablanica, the World Cup qualifying matches scheduled in different parts of Europe will proceed as planned.
