💔 Climbers

The nation mourns as the bodies of five climbers who died are transported back to Bosnia and Herzegovina today for their final farewell. In the political sphere, Presidency Chairman Denis Bećirović held significant public engagements in Bužim, addressing over 10,000 people and emphasizing national ideals and the importance of unity against "enemies of the state" during the 505th Brigade anniversary commemoration. Wildfires continue to demand attention, with a new blaze near Sanski Most causing power outages, while efforts have brought a fire near Tomislavgrad under control. Meanwhile, a heatwave is forecast before a temperature drop. On a brighter note, the first generation of pilots for the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Internal Affairs Helicopter Unit has achieved their dream, and swimmer Lana Pudar is set to compete for another European medal.
