"She was alone, next to a stream, she was lying on the ground, she didn't fall into the stream," he told reporters in the town of Ub in western Serbia.

As for how such a small child could get so far - she was found about a kilometer from her home - he said that it is unlikely that a 2-year-old can do that, but that it is not ruled out she could have traveled that distance (on her own).

"She was in a state of shock, she didn't really know what was happening," Sevcevic said.

Dunja Markovic from Ub, who disappeared yesterday, was found this morning after an all-night search of the area around her house.
