Ostrozac, Bosnia and Herzegovina: Staring across what was once one of Bosnia's largest expanses of water, all that Saliha Kuljanin can see is boats left high and dry after months of drought emptied Lake Jablanicko.

"The climate has certainly changed, but this is scary!" Kuljanin, 68, told AFP near the lake's receding shores in southern Bosnia.

For years, the village of Ostrozac, where Kuljanin lives, had profited from the tourists attracted by Jablanicko's emerald waters.

But the rain has dried up this year and its water levels have plummeted.
