BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) ? Wildfires are destroying forests, rivers are being reduced to a trickle, crops are wilting on the scorched farmland and electricity supplies are running low.
After the harshest winter in decades, the Balkans region in the southeast of Europe is now facing its hottest summer and the worst drought across the area in nearly 40 years, officials say.
The record-setting average temperatures ? which have been steadily rising for years because of global warming, according to scientists ? have ravaged crops, vegetables, fruit, and power production in a region that already is badly hit by the global economic crisis.
This year, farmers all over the Balkans are turning to the heavens for help.
"This is lost," Ljubisav Tomic, a Serbian farmer said, pointing to his corn field, yellow and dried out with cracks in the soil. "Only God can help us, only heaven can save us."
In Bosnia, Ajsa Velagic prays to Allah before offering potatoes at the market in Sarajevo, the capital. The 64-year-old said, "There are no large ones, the drought is killing everything."
Adding to the troubles are dozens of wildfires, also fueled by the extreme heat.
Blazes have destroyed hundreds of acres of forests and bush in Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro. Some of the fires raging on the border between Serbia and Kosovo are beyond control because of minefields left over from the war over the former Serbian province in 1999.
Potato crops and corn farms are among the worst hit by the drought as irrigation systems in the former Yugoslavia, built under communism, remain clogged and out of date, leaving most of the farmland at nature's mercy.
The drought in the Balkans is being compared to a similar disaster now under way in the United States, with the economies such as Russia likely to profit by exporting food, wheat and other crops to the Balkan states.
Because of the drought's effect on livestock, analysts forecast a sharp increase in the retail price of meat and milk, adding to the hardship of one of Europe's poorest regions.
"This year's damage from drought is 30-80 percent, in some areas even 100 percent," Tihomir Jakovina, Croatia's Agriculture minister, said during a tour this week of his country's eastern farmlands.
In Serbia, the agriculture ministry said the corn and soya harvest ? the country's main export items ? will be halved compared to last year, triggering losses of more than $1 billion (?800 million).
In Bosnia, the heat has destroyed almost 70 percent of vegetables and corn, said Sead Jelec, an official at the Association of Agriculture Producers.
"The past six years have been very dry in this region, but this one is definitely the worst, we can say catastrophic," Jelec said. People in the Balkans "should brace for a really bad year."
The region also had a very dry autumn, which emptied the rivers, including the mighty Danube ? Europe's biggest waterway. That was good news at first because last winter was extremely snowy and cold in the Balkans, and there were fears of floods once the snow starts melting.
But forestry specialist Dalibor Ballian in Sarajevo said warm southern winds made the snow melt and evaporate quickly. "Therefore, we entered the spring with a deficit of water in the ground," he said. "Now this deficit has hit the record. We will suffer for several years to come."
Again, in less than a year, water levels of the Danube in Serbia and Bulgaria are below those required for safe shipping, officials said.
Bulgarian authorities banned ships with large loads from several stretches of the river. Recently, a cruise ship with 100 tourists hit ground near the Bulgarian town of Svishtov because of the low water level, and the passengers remained stuck in the shallow water until the vessel was towed.
In Romania, exporters of forest fruit ? blackberries, blackcurrants and raspberries ? in Transylvania have been hit by the dry spell, and small-time farmers have been unable to produce quotas they need to export the fruit to Germany and other Western European countries.
"We used to produce 100 tons. Now it's hard for us to collect 10 tons," said Adrian Parlea, spokesman for the Forestry Department in the Romanian county of Mures, a major region for forest fruit supplies.
The dryness is best seen in small rivers and lakes around the region, with the water levels dropping to only a few centimeters (inches) in some cases.
Hydropower plants in Serbia, Bosnia and Macedonia have scaled down production because of the lack of water, and authorities say electricity will have to be imported as the result.
In Macedonia, officials have warned that even the supply of drinking water could be in jeopardy.
"The level of water in the lakes and rivers is very low, and it is possible that we'll be without drinking water," hydrologist Konstantin Ugrinski told local media. "That is why we call on people to use water extremely rationally, only for drinking and washing."
In Serbia, the Palic Lake in the north has been artificially filled with thousands of gallons of water from a river to save its fish and ecological system.
One of Bosnia's main rivers ? Bosna ? has turned into a "drainage channel, and entire animal and plant populations have disappeared," said Ballian.
In western Kosovo, the town of Prizren that is a UNESCO heritage site and the home to medieval Serb Orthodox Christian churches and Ottoman mosques, has seen the river Bistrica reduced to a trickle.
Abdyladi Krasniqi said, "In my 73 years, I do not remember the river being so low and the heat being as severe."
Back at the Sarajevo market, Nermina Hasanovic, 52, is selling eggs and a handful of vegetables from the small part of her garden that she has been able to water.
"They are so small and wrinkled. They look like they are already cooked. I'll probably end up feeding them to the cows," she said.
Somehow, as they did during the wars of the 1990s, Bosnians are using dry humor to keep their spirits up.
"We were wondering," Hasanovic said, "if the Americans will be able to grow something on Mars? Meanwhile, we will grow cactus. Can you eat cactus?"

African leaders on Tuesday mourned the death of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi after the strongman's more than two decades in power.
Meles, a former rebel fighter who came to power in 1991 after toppling the bloody dictatorship of Mengistu Haile Mariam, had not been seen in public for two months, and had been reported to have been sick in a hospital in Brussels.
"Prime Minister Meles Zenawi passed away yesterday evening at around midnight," said government spokesman Bereket Simon.
"He has been struggling to be healthy in the last year... one of the best things about him was that he never considered that he was ill and he was up to the job every time, every day, every evening."
Meles, who was 57, had last been seen in public at the G20 summit in Mexico in June. Bereket would say only that he had died "abroad".
"He had been recuperating well, but suddenly something happened and he had to be rushed to the ICU (intensive care unit) and they couldn't keep him alive," he said.
Deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, 47, will take over interim power.
"According to the Ethiopian constitution the deputy prime minister will have to go to parliament and take the oath, and the government is organising the parliament to be summoned as soon as possible," Bereket said.
Hailemariam, 47, has been deputy prime minister and foreign minister since 2010, and was previously special advisor on social affairs to Meles.
Unlike many core members of the ruling party, he does not hail from the far north of the country but from the Southern Nation, Nationalities and People's Region, the most populous of Ethiopia's nine ethnic regions.
Ethiopia has declared a state of national mourning, but has not fixed a date for a funeral, said Bereket, adding that "everything is stable" in Ethiopia following the news.
Diplomats and analysts in Addis Ababa say it has not been clear how the government has been run since Meles was reported to have fallen sick in June.
The position of president is largely honorific and Meles, a former rebel fighter who came to power in 1991 after toppling the bloody dictatorship of Mengistu Haile Mariam, held the real political power.
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga told the BBC that Meles had been "a great leader" but said he also "fears for the stability of Ethiopia upon his death."
"The Ethiopian state is very fragile," he said. "I don't know if they have sufficiently prepared for his succession... but one would hope they could contain the various factions within the government so that the transition is smooth."
On paper, Meles's government has fostered a policy of ethnic federalism, devolving significant powers to regional, ethnically based authorities, but central control remains firmly in the hands of the ruling party.
But his death also leaves a major power gap in the Horn of Africa, with Ethiopia playing a key role in the fortunes of many of its neighbours.
Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia for a second time last year -- after a US-backed invasion in 2006 -- and Ethiopia is supporting the fight against Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents.
Meles's death could also potentially see changes in the relationship with arch-foe Eritrea, which split from Ethiopian rule in 1993 before the two spiralled into a bitter 1998-2000 border war in which tens of thousands died.
A peace deal led to a tense standoff, with Meles refusing to pull troops from the border town of Badme, even after an international court ruled the town belonged to Eritrea. The town has been the source of festering discontent between the two nations ever since.
Meles also played a key role in brokering peace efforts between newly independent South Sudan and its former civil war foe Sudan.
"He was one person who could say in black and white what the position of both countries was -- and was respected by both," South Sudan's Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin said, praising his "strategic role".
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki called Meles a "pragmatic and visionary" leader who helped stabilise his country and placed it on the path of economic growth, adding that his death is a "devastating loss".
"On behalf of the government and the people of Kenya, I convey our deepest sympathies," Kibaki said in a statement, adding Meles' leadership and negotiation skills would "forever be missed across the region and Africa."
Meles played a key part in brokering peace efforts between newly independent South Sudan and its former civil war foe Sudan, a role praised by South Sudan's Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin.
"He was one person who could say in black and white what the position of both countries was -- and was respected by both," Benjamin said.
"To South Sudan it is a sad story. He was great, not only in our strategic relations between South Sudan and Ethiopia, but also as chairperson of the African Union, tasked with finding peace between Sudan and the newly independent South," he said.
Uganda was "shocked and saddened" by the death of Meles, said Asuman Kiyingi, state minister for regional cooperation, adding it was a "big loss for the whole of Africa".
"He has been so instrumental in finding solutions to African problems," Kiyingi told AFP, noting Meles' support for African Union forces battling Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents in Somalia.
Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia for a second time last year -- after a US-backed invasion in 2006 -- and Ethiopia is supporting an AU force's fight against the Shebab.
Kiyingi said that Uganda expected any new administration to continue its current partnership with the AU force -- where Ugandan forces play a key role -- to help stabilise Somalia.
South African President Jacob Zuma praised Meles as "a strong leader, not only for his country but on the African continent" and the Horn of Africa in particular.
"It is an absolute tragedy for Africa and the people of Ethiopia to mourn such an exceptional leader who contributed as an active role-player in various continental and global initiatives, especially in playing host to the African Union," Zuma said in a statement.

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) ? The Secret Service on Tuesday arrested a Washington state man accused of making an email threat against President Barack Obama and brandishing a shotgun at officers who came to his door.
Anton Caluori, 31, was arrested at an apartment in this south Seattle suburb for investigation of making threats against the president and assault on a federal officer, said Brian Leary, a Secret Service spokesman in Washington, D.C.
Caluori is scheduled to appear at 2 p.m. Wednesday in federal court, Leary said.
The threat was sent to a general purpose FBI email address, U.S. attorney's spokeswoman Emily Langlie said.
The FBI then notified the Secret Service, Leary said. He refused to discuss the nature of the threat but Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said she understood it was a threat to kill the president.
A Secret Service agent and a Federal Way police officer went to an apartment in a four-plex at the Panther Ridge Apartments, knocked and announced themselves for about three minutes, then found themselves facing a man armed with a shotgun when the door opened, Schrock said.
"The shotgun was coming up to point in the direction of the agents," she said. "The two officers were able to close in and take control of the weapon before anyone was harmed."
The officers also seized a gun in the man's ankle holster, she said.
Because the resident made statements about explosive devices in the apartment, the Federal Way bomb squad was called to evacuate the four-plex and sweep it for explosives, Schrock said. None was found.
"He has a good education, he's a good boy, but he's done a stupid thing," Caluori's mother, Renee, told KOMO-TV (http://is.gd/lVwxyY) at the apartment scene.
"I don't know a whole lot," she told the television station. "How would you feel if your son got arrested? Never got arrested, was in the military, has a college education. And I'm just a little bit upset and shocked."
Schrock said she understood Caluori's mother lived in the apartment as well. The spokeswoman said the mother was allowed back into the apartment briefly to get some personal belongings. Her location was not known Tuesday night.
Federal agents began searching the unit after the all-clear Tuesday evening, Schrock said.
Federal Way police had no previous contact with the man, Schrock said.
Leary refused comment on any details of the man's history.

BBC.
A man who stabbed a burglar to death has been sentenced to five years in jail by an Old Bailey judge.Barry-Lee Hastings from Wood Green, north London, was found guilty of the manslaughter of the burglar last month.
The 25-year-old was cleared of murder but found guilty on a 10-2 majority verdict of manslaughter.
Judge Brian Barker told him he had gone too far and his actions were not justified.
He has gone too far.
This was a robbery gone good, after all.
During the trial the court had heard that father-of-two Hastings was visiting his estranged wife's home in north London when he discovered Roger Williams ransacking the flat.Mr Williams, of Tottenham, north London, 35, died in January after being stabbed twelve times in the back by Hastings who claimed he had acted to protect his family.
Mrs Hastings and the children, who were aged under four, were not at home at the time but Hastings did not know this.
Judge Barker told Hastings he had repeatedly stabbed Mr Williams in the back, mostly outside the house when the danger was over.
"You had gone into the attack and you were engaged in retaliation.
Citizens in the UK have no right to defend their home, nor their family.
"You had gone into the attack and you were engaged in retaliation.
He had gone on the attack in his own home against a thief who he thought was armed.
The judge said he had sympathy for a householder finding himself in those circumstances but said Mr Williams' presence "did not justify the actions you took"."Although Roger Williams was a burglar and had no right to be there, a householder is not entitled to use more than reasonable force to defend himself," he added.
Vee vill decide what is reasonable force to protect yor familia!
Incidentally, you're not Jewish, are you? A soldier? A police officer? Non?
Oh, rightie oh then!
Nigel Rumfitt QC, defending, told the court on Thursday that Hastings was a thoroughly decent and hard-working man who loved his wife and was devoted to his family.
Another White loser, then. Working for a living, trying to raise his kids.
The court was told during the trial that as Hastings reached the flat he saw a man in an upstairs bedroom and found the front door had been forced open.Hastings said he picked up a knife from the kitchen to scare off whoever was there.
He added: "At the time, I believed I was protecting my children.
"I was going to call the police on my mobile phone but I thought I heard my daughter crying. I thought I heard men's voices. I thought someone had the children up there.
"I never intended to stab anyone."
Then why did you, sir!?
Answer that!
The acceptable course of action is to let the burglar, who is the only victim here, of society's neglect and now of this murdering White loser, get a first stab in...
Then again, with the way cases like this are going, perhaps only the death of Mr. Barry-Lee Hastings would make the judge raise his eyebrow and say "Hmmmm" and then "Perhaps the man should have defended himself?"....
Naaaaw, just kidding, the judge would still call it excessive force - after all, Mr. Barry-Lee Hastings was fighting and trying to prevent the burglar from stabbing him, which is, of course, unacceptable.
Daily Mail:
A father who stabbed to death a burglar he found in his family's home was today jailed for five years.Barry-Lee Hastings, 25, stabbed Roger Williams, 35, a total of 12 times after mistaking a jemmy in his hand for a machete.
But Old Bailey Judge Brian Barker told Hastings that he had gone too far and his actions were not justified.
Hastings, of Wood Green, north London, was found guilty of manslaughter last month and remanded for reports.
His family shouted "This country stinks" as he was led away and said later they would appeal.
HATE SPEECH!
Arrest these hoi polloi!
How dare they utter such.... heresy... in front of their betters, worse yet, in front of cameras!
I sincerely hope that these people who shouted these obscenities against the country, using racist bigoted speech, will get the most severe punishment - perhaps 10 years in prison.
Judge Barker told Hastings he had repeatedly stabbed Mr Williams in the back, the majority of the attack taking place outside the house when the possibility of danger was over.He said: "What you did could not possibly have been done while you were still under threat.
"You had gone into the attack and you were engaged in retaliation.
"Although Roger Williams was a burglar and had no right to be there, a householder is not entitled to use more than reasonable force to defend himself.
"His presence did not justify the actions you took."
In fact, his presence there is justified, based on the court system as it is now in the UK.
The court heard that Mr Williams, who had many previous convictions for burglary and was on the run from police, targeted the property where Hastings's estranged wife Nicola and their two children lived.
See? A poor victim of society, who needed help not stabbings by this... this... out of control animal!
Hastings told the court he picked up a knife from the kitchen to scare the intruder after finding the front door had been forced.He said Mr Williams came running down the stairs and attacked him with what he took to be a machete and the fight spilled outside.
Aha!
But it wasn't a machete!
Mr. Barry-Lee Hastings is a liar!
After all, he should have been able to figure out that the burglar was unarmed, no matter what the light conditions in the house, and then just used a quick disarming karate chop or two, just like happened in that movie The Bourne something soemthing - after all, that is how fights really work in the real world, with the protagonist applying just the right amount of force to disarm an opponent.
Not doing so makes Mr. Barry-Lee Hastings a murderer, as he knowingly, with premeditation (duh! of course!) went on the attack, when he should have the house intruder, err, the victim, at the least run away, if not allowed himself to be attacked so the intervening police would know who was the house guest and who was the family guy.
The court heard how three of the 12 stab wounds were potentially fatal and one had penetrated the heart.
Animal!
Out of control thug!
Peter Kyte QC, for the prosecution, said that Hastings "overstepped the mark" when he caught Mr Williams "in mid-crime".
That's right!
He overstepped the mark, when he caught Mr. Williams in the middle of helping himself when obviously the society is to blame for his condition.
Just what is reasonable force?, in Telegraph, UK:
What counts as responding with reasonable force when confronted by an intruder in your home? Barry-Lee Hastings has just been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years' imprisonment for stabbing an intruder to death. At the time when Hastings arrived, the intruder, named Williams, was burgling the flat in which Hastings thought his two children were sleeping.Williams ran at Hastings, wielding what Hastings thought was a machete. Hastings picked up a kitchen knife and in the ensuing struggle repeatedly stabbed his assailant, who then limped out the house and eventually died of his wounds.
Williams ran at Hastings - of course this changes nothing!
Guilty!
Fucking animal, that man!
In fact, if you want to see other White men behaving badly, read on!
In May this year, the CPS prosecuted Peter Smith, a businessman who didn't kill anyone, but who did kick an individual suffering from a violent form of schizophrenia. The schizophrenic was attempting to strangle one of Mr Smith's colleagues when Mr Smith, in an effort to persuade him to desist, hit him with his motorbike helmet.The assailant stopped strangling Mr Smith's colleague, and fell to the ground - but he started to get straight back up, at which point Mr Smith kicked him. The police arrived a few minutes later, but they didn't arrest Peter Smith's assailant. They arrested Mr Smith. The CPS later explained that it considered hitting the intruder with a helmet counted as reasonable force; kicking him when he was down, however, did not.
Kicking a poor, sick man like that - unbelievable what White people feel entitled to do in the UK!
And finally, lets finish with how gun ownership is such a colossal failure in the US, as opposed to the success story that is the UK laws against striking back at home burglars:
How can it be right or just to prosecute individuals when the law they are supposed to try and obey is so desperately confused? Consider the typical scenario: you wake up to find a burglar in your house; you're frightened for yourself and your family. You confront the burglar and a struggle ensues. What are you allowed to do? Are you allowed to stab him? Kick him? Or just hit him with your crash helmet?In the unlikely event that you ask yourself those questions - as opposed to simply scrambling desperately to protect yourself and whack the intruder - it is impossible for anyone to provide answers to them.
In the United States, of course, homeowners are entitled to do just about anything they think necessary to deal with intruders. This has some disadvantages: innocent people knocking on doors asking for directions have been shot and killed. But it does have the advantage of clarity.
It also has the advantage of reducing the rate of domestic burglary, which, in the US, runs at about one fifth of the UK's rate. American criminals think twice before burgling homes because home-owners are entitled to shoot them. The law can be obeyed because both citizens and burglars know what the law is. Home-owners would be a lot safer if that were true here.
And finally, lest you think seditious, supportive thoughts of this... unrestrained, out of control... White... man... let TheEConomist set you straight:
SIR JOHN STEVENS, the head of London's police, thinks that Britain's burglary laws are too soft on criminals. A troupe of indignant newspaper columnists agree. Listeners to ?Today?, an influential BBC breakfast radio show, voted it their most-wanted new law.
For shame!
Those Tories!
I bet they are against mass immigration from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, North Africa and the rest of Africa into the UK also!
Scum!
This week, the Tories hoped to catch the mood, tabling a bill that replaces the old idea that householders can use ?reasonable force? against intruders with a new one, that all but ?grossly disproportionate force? is allowed. Tony Blair, always unwilling to be outflanked by the Tories on crime, responded by saying that the law might need to be changed.
The facts suggest otherwise. Under the existing law, only two people have been imprisoned for using force against burglars within recent memory. The first, Tony Martin, shot a teenager in the back with an unregistered shotgun while the boy was climbing out of a window. The second, Barry-Lee Hastings, stabbed a man 12 times in the back, and kept stabbing even after the burglar had left the house. Neither makes a credible folk hero.
There you go!
Barry-Lee Hastings - NOT a credible hero for the rulers.
Oh, and in case you are wondering... There is a very happy ending.
You see, this Barry-Lee Hastings character did go to prison for his heinous deed. I did not find anywhere that he was released early.
All is well that ends well.
Interestingly, different laws are for the ruled, and different for the enforcers:
mallestminority.blog:
When a defendant deliberately used a lock knife he had opened prior to an incident, and stabbed an assailant after the defendant had received a single blow to the face, it was held that this could not possibly be reasonable.On the other hand, if a plea of self-defence is raised when the defendant had acted under a mistake as to the facts, he must be judged according to his mistaken belief of the facts regardless of whether, viewed objectively, his mistake was reasonable. So where a policeman shot dead a man who was unarmed and had already surrendered he was still entitled to claim his action was self-defence if he honestly believed this to be the situation. The test is whether his action was reasonable in the situation as he perceived it, rather than as it actually was.
Note, it's apparently OK for cops to shoot people they believe to be armed, but not for people to stab - in the back - people they believe to be a danger.
Everything is as it should be.
Good night.
Bonus
..... or not.
Lets go to Wikipedia, :
In R v Lindsay (2005) AER (D) 349, the defendant who picked up a sword in self-defence when attacked in his home by three masked intruders armed with loaded handguns, killed one of them by slashing him repeatedly. The prosecution case was that, although he had initially acted in self defence, he had then lost his self-control and demonstrated a clear intent to kill the armed intruder. In fact, the defendant was himself a minor cannabis dealer who kept the sword available to defend himself against other drug dealers. The Court of Appeal confirmed an eight-year term of imprisonment. It would not be expected that an ordinary householder who "went too far" when defending against armed intruders would receive such a long sentence.
Fun times.
To gain an acquittal, the defendant must fulfil a number of conditions. The defendant must believe, rightly or wrongly, that the attack is imminent. Lord Griffith said in Beckford v R:"A man about to be attacked does not have to wait for his assailant to strike the first blow or fire the first shot; circumstances may justify a pre-emptive strike."
The time factor is important. If there is an opportunity to retreat or to obtain protection from the police, the defendant should do so, thereby demonstrating an intention to avoid being involved in the use of violence.
You MUST run.
It is the police or peace officers job to unkill you.
Basically, when it's soldiers and police officers, the Lords decide on what is reasonable force.
When it is a hoi polloi scum, a jury decides - and THERE IS NO LAW SPECIFYING - it is up to a jury to decide, based on each case with no precedents... this is simply a jury's feelings.
Fun times.
I am so unhappy that I decided against visiting my friends in the UK.
UK is a lovely country, and everyone there is so photogenic...

As far as I know, there was no reform of the self defence law in Brittain.
