SARAJEVO: After a scorching drought emptied one of Bosnia´s largest lakes, the Balkan country is set to mark its hottest year on record in 2024, its Institute of Meteorology said on Monday.

“This year will definitely be the hottest since this data was officially collected,” meteorologist Dzenan Zulum told AFP, saying the country has broken its annual heat record for the past three years in a row.
