Firefighting efforts on Mount Čvrsnica have been bolstered by an army helicopter as the blaze continues to burn through the mountainside. Elsewhere, smoke has become a more immediate threat to education; in Goražde, air quality reached such dangerous levels that schools were forced to move classes online.
Municipal life remains a struggle between planned repairs and unplanned shortages. Residents in twenty Sarajevo streets have been told to expect dry taps during network maintenance, while in Bijeljina, the pre-election focus has shifted to whether the voting scanners will actually work. Some local observers suggest the technical glitches may favor the SNSD campaign.
The judiciary had a varied day: a court sentenced Ifeta Karić to ten years for her husband’s murder, and police in the capital arrested a 30-year-old with a significant stash of drugs. Meanwhile, in Vitez, a doctor’s home-office setup was found to be a little too literal. She was arrested for allegedly examining patients and issuing certificates from her house using the official health center stamp.
