Sarajevo, Dec 11 (AP) Overflowing rivers in parts of Bosnia and Croatia have flooded dozens of houses and roads, prompting authorities to warn residents in affected areas to prepare to evacuate their homes if heavy rainfall does not subside.

Police in Bosnia confirmed workers found a body on Sunday while clearing a rain-fuelled landslide that buried a section of a regional road in the northern part of the country, near the city of Prijedor.

Local media reported the situation was especially dire in the villages around the northern city of Gradiska, where a bridge was swept away and several farms were cut off by the floodwater and debris.
