Rescue teams looking for people gone missing in last week's floods and landslides in Bosnia and Herzegovina have found another body, which puts the death toll at 22.

This information was confirmed by Osman Catic, mayor of Konjic, a town some 40 kilometres southwest of the capital Sarajevo, and local civil protection commander Husein Hodzic.

The latest victim was found in the area of Buturovic Polje by Lake Jablanica.

Another two flood victims were discovered previously in Buturovic Polje, and rescue teams are still looking for two missing persons there.

Three persons were killed in flash floods in the central town of Fojnica, while all the other casualties are from the village of Donja Jablanica in the north of Herzegovina, worst hit by last week's floods. The village was swamped by a huge landslide, caused by what appears to have been an illegally operating quarry located above the village.

Herzegovina-Neretva Canton prosecutorial authorities have investigated whether the company running the quarry had the necessary permits.
