STORYLINE:
The water level of the Danube River in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava has peaked, according to the deputy mayor for the environment, as flooding affected a broad swath of Central Europe.
Footage filmed in the capital on Wednesday showed large parts of the city still submerged in flood water and a swollen Danube.
Deputy Mayor for the Environment Jakub Mrva said that mobile barriers had saved the capital’s historic center, but that there was still damage, including to tram lines.
Heavy flooding has affected a large part of the region in recent days, including the Czech Republic, Poland and Austria.
Around 20 deaths were reported in the flooding, which followed heavy rainfall but the full human cost was still not clear.
