Bosnians took to the streets in Sarajevo , voicing anger over the government's handling of the October floods that claimed 27 lives.
Hundreds gathered in Sarajevo on Monday , demanding accountability from authorities for the deaths of 27 people in October’s devastating floods. Protesters criticized the slow recovery efforts, including delayed reconstruction and a lack of aid distribution, despite donations from the European Union and other foreign nations.
In Donja Jablanica, a southern village, 19 people lost their lives after an illegal quarry collapsed, trapping victims beneath heavy rocks. Protesters expressed solidarity with students in neighboring Serbia, who have been protesting against their government following a deadly railway station disaster in November.
