VISEGRAD, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Workers use a crane to remove massive amounts of floating waste that regularly clog the Drina River near the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad. Seasonal rains sweep garbage from illegal dumps across the region into the waterway, where it accumulates behind a hydroelectric plant’s river fence, creating vast floating islands of debris.
