        Rescuers dug through rubble in the village of Donja Jablanica on Saturday morning in search for people who went missing in Bosnia's deadliest floods in years that hit the Balkan country on Friday.
        
        The N1 TV reported that 21 people died and that dozens went missing in the Jablanica area, 70 kilometres (43.5 miles)southwest of Sarajevo.
        
        The government is due to hold a press conference later.
        
        A spokesperson for the Mountain Rescue Service whose teams are involved in search said, "There are some villages in the area that still cannot be reached, and we don't know what we will find there."
        
        Heavy rain overnight halted search, Bosnian media reported, but as it stopped the search continued. In Donja Jablanica many houses were still under rubble.
