A Roma schoolgirl whose deportation from France sparked outrage has arrived in EU-member state Croatia after being granted new travel documents, her father said on Friday.

Leonarda Dibrani, her mother Xhemila and three brothers have been staying with an uncle in Sisak, southeast of Zagreb, the girl's father Resat Dibrani told Agence France Presse.

Croatia's supreme court has upheld the conviction of former prime minister Ivo Sanader for corruption but has cut his jail sentence, a judicial spokesman said Friday.

"We have received the supreme court's ruling upholding Sanader's sentence, but reducing it from 10 to eight and a half years in prison," Kresimir Devcic, spokesman for the lower court that had tried the ex-premier.

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic on Wednesday announced changes to his cabinet sacking the education and health ministers amid a deep split in his centre-left party.

Milanovic did not provide a clear explanation for the move, just saying that the two new ministers -- Sinisa Varga for health and Vedran Mornar for education -- were taking charge of "very difficult" sectors where "opposition to reforms are huge."

The death toll from cataclysmic floods in the Balkans rose by six to 57 on Friday as people returned home to salvage what belongings they could in a huge clean-up operation.

The task facing the thousands of rescue workers, volunteers and soldiers was immense, with dozens of towns and villages devastated by the region's worst natural disaster in living memory.

Floodwaters crept lower in the Balkans Thursday after the region's deadliest natural disaster in living memory, revealing widespread devastation as governments sought outside aid and warned of major damage to their economies.

As thousands of relief workers began an immense clean-up operation, the first of some 150,000 people evacuated over the past week were allowed to return to their towns and villages to pick up the pieces.

A landmine dislodged by devastating floods in the Balkans exploded in Bosnia, officials said Wednesday, hurting no one but highlighting the dangers of a huge clean-up operation as governments began counting the costs.

The device, one of an estimated 120,000 mines left over from the 1990s Yugoslav wars, went off overnight in the Brcko district of northern Bosnia, the national Mine Action Center (MAC) said.

The United States is sending 26 tons of humanitarian aid to the Balkans to help with relief efforts after floods devastated the region, the Pentagon said Monday.

The assistance included water purification units, water cans, generators, fuel, kitchen equipment, sleeping bags, shovels and wet weather gear, a Pentagon spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Cathy Wilkinson, said.

In a potentially deadly side-effect to the record-breaking floods that have engulfed Bosnia, officials warned on Monday that unexploded mines left over the 1990s conflict could be dislodged and moved.

"Water and landslides have possibly moved some mines and taken away mine warning signs," said Sasa Obradovic, an official of Bosnia's Mine Action Center.

Croatia extradited a former Yugoslav spy chief to Germany on Thursday to face charges for the 1983 murder of a dissident on German soil.

Zdravko Mustac, accompanied by German police, left the Croatian capital on a regular Lufthansa flight for Munich, the state-run HINA news agency reported.

A Belgrade court on Wednesday jailed two men for the mafia-style murder of high-profile Croatian journalist Ivo Pukanic.

Pukanic, the editor-in-chief of Croatian political weekly Nacional, and his marketing director Niko Franjic were killed by a car bomb in Zagreb in 2008.
