Fires have also been burning in hard-to-reach parts of the Split-Dalmatia and Šibenik-Knin regions since Friday, as well as in the area around the Dinara mountain range, close to the border with Bosnia.

Meanwhile, Slovenia's northern neighbour, Austria, has been dealing with record rainfall.

Parts of the capital, Vienna, were flooded yesterday evening. The city had its heaviest rainfall since records began 152 years ago.

Other parts of Austria have experienced landslides due to the quantity of rain that has fallen in recent days.
