From daily Serbian-language newspaper Blic (www.blic.co.yu), 22 January
2004 

    English summary:  Arsenic has been detected in ground water in the northern province of Vojvodina, in wells supplying Zrenjanin.
Concentrations range from 80 to 120 micrograms/L.  

This led to closing the water supply from the wells. Bottled waterdisappeared from shops. 

The article also points at increased concentrations of As in neighboring Romania and Hungary - all three a part of the huge Panonian
 Plain.
