The public broadcaster, BHRT, is facing a deepening financial crisis with new program cuts and unpaid staff, signaling a significant escalation of its ongoing struggles. This comes as an international report highlights ethnic divisions and issues with public resources ahead of upcoming elections. Economically, the country is grappling with an alarming situation where 80% of food in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is imported, raising concerns about vulnerability. Citizens are also bracing for rising fuel prices and potential electricity shortages, while a major heat dome is forecast to bring temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. In other developments, planned miner protests in Sarajevo have been called off, with miners opting for disobedience instead. Meanwhile, a wildfire continues to spread on Čvrsnica mountain, requiring air support, and customs officials seized a citizen's car with a substantial fine. On a positive note, Sarajevo firefighters successfully rescued an individual from a blaze, underscoring the value of human life.
