Environmental activists in Bosnia are warning that tons of rubbish floating down the Balkan country’s rivers are endangering the local ecosystem and people’s health.

The River Drina, located on the border between Bosnia and Serbia, has been covered for weeks with rubbish that has piled up faster than the authorities can clear it out.
