JABLANICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A year after a flood and landslide swept through a tiny village in southern Bosnia, killing 19 people, residents of Jablanica say their lives will never be the same again.
“It’s all deserted, it’s not like it was before,” Adisa Maslo said as the village marked the anniversary of the tragedy on Saturday with prayers and remembrance ceremonies.
