SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — The state of emergency has been lifted in the Bosnian Serb Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Monday, while other flooded regions are still struggling with water and possible landslides.

Prime Minister of the Bosnian Serb Republic Zeljka Cvijanovic told journalists, after a government meeting, that the situation in eight cities, most affected by the floods, including Doboj and Bijeljina, remained perilous.

Meanwhile, roads to Racha, Brcko, Samac are still closed to vehicles, according to a statement made by the Bosnian border police.
