An internally displaced people are people who are forced to flee but who remain in their own countries. World leading organizations on climate change indicate particularly the risks of flooding in South East Europe by the end of the XXI century. It is estimated that 90% of South East Europe is located within transboundary river basins and is poorly regulated, which makes the region highly prone to floods. The last decades have emphasized the vulnerability to the floods as well as an inadequate protection measures and disaster management, especially for Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
