Southeast Europe – Worst floods in 120 years

Multiple flooding events have affected a large area of Southeastern Europe during the late spring of 2014, says Wikipedia.

Affected countries include Italy, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria.[7]

In Serbia, the floods are affecting towns Obrenovac,[8] Valjevo, Loznica, Čačak, Kraljevo, Trstenik, Šabac, Sremska Mitrovica, Belgrade (some areas of the city), Svilajnac, Jagodina and many other.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the floods are especially affecting towns and cities near major rivers such as River Bosna and nearby cities Zenica, Kakanj, Zavidovići, Olovo, Maglaj, Doboj, Modriča and Šamac, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The rainfall in Bosnia and Serbia has been the heaviest in its 120 year long history of recorded weather measurements.[9][10] As of May 17th, the peak of the flood wave on River Sava has not yet passed through Serbia.

I wonder what this will do to food supplies.
