In northern Kosovo, authorities said parts of the town of Mitrovica have been flooded, forcing people to evacuate their homes. Footage captured by The Associated Press showed the extent of the flooding, with emergency services wading through floodwater. Speaking to AP in Novi Pazar Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic partially laid the blame for flooding on "those who build illegal bridges" amd "those who throw their rubbish into rivers all across Serbia". The rain followed weeks of unseasonably warm weather. Temperatures are expected to drop at the weekend, with rain being succeeded by snow. In the southwestern Serbian town of Novi Pazar, authorities declared emergency measures to cope with the overflowing Raska river. An emergency situation was declared in four more areas in southwest and southern Serbia. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
