Authorities in Bucharest have taken measures to prevent flooding on the Romanian bank of the Danube. Experts have been monitoring water level on the Danube, which is expected at the end of the month to reach a rate of 10, 500 cubic meterssecond, lower than a month before, when it stood at 11,900 cubicmeters. In neighbouring Hungary, authorities have also resorted to a series of flood-preventing measures, after the river had exceeded all-time highs in several areas. Water levels in Budapest have eventually gone lower after reaching a record high of 8.91 meters. Several countries in Central Europe have lately been affected by floods and landslides. According to the latest toll, at least 20 people have been killed, scores others evacuated and hundred of hectares flooded in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia and Switzerland.

Turkish police again used tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters, who had taken to the streets of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir for the tenth time on Sunday night. Protesters were calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, whom they accuse of authoritarian behavior and the tendency of Islamizing the country. The Prime Minister has deemed the protestors as extremists and has denounced a plot allegedly staged from the interior as well as from abroad. The EU has called on the protesters as well as on Erdogan supporters to show restraint.
