In other domestic news, Tarik Prusac, a suspect in a murder case, reportedly committed suicide while in custody at the Igman Correctional Facility. This development has been widely reported by local media. Adding to the day's local stories, a scientific expedition in a Herzegovinian cave has resulted in the discovery of 37 new animal species. Additionally, the public utility company 'Rad' in Sarajevo has announced an increase in parking prices, attributing the change to the need to cover operational costs.
