This is not a garbage dump but the Drina River in Eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina which has been invaded by garbage.

Tons of garbage thrown by the 3 rivers end up right in the Drina river and the situation becomes problematic during heavy rains.

Environmental activists say a trash barrier installed several kilometers upstream from a dam has turned the city into a regional dumping ground.

Plastic bottles, rusty barrels, used tires and household appliances are collected in the river and all come from the branches of the river located in Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia.

Decades after the wars of the 1990s that accompanied the breakup of Yugoslavia, the Balkans lag behind the rest of Europe both economically and in terms of environmental protection.
