JABLANICA, Bosnia and Herzegovina: Several hundred mourners on Tuesday attended a mass funeral service for 19 victims of the devastating floods and landslides that hit Bosnia earlier this month, an AFP reporter said.
Men wept for their loved ones over the coffins clad in green cloth at a cemetery in the town of Jablanica, about 70-kms southwest of the capital Sarajevo.
At least 26 people were killed in the disaster.
Most of the victims were from the area around Jablanica, including 17 from the village of Donja Jablanica, which was virtually buried under mud, rocks and granite debris from a nearby quarry.
