🔪 Shootings

Sarajevo is grappling with an escalation in violent crime, following a fatal shooting in the city center that claimed the life of a 34-year-old man, with police actively investigating this and other murder incidents.

Further domestic news includes the scheduled funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić on Monday, where his body will lie in state, intensifying the debate around his glorification. In a contrasting development, pensioners across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are receiving increased payments and back pay today.
