🚁 Crash

A day of mourning began in Brčko after a EUFOR helicopter crashed during takeoff, killing four people and leaving two more in intensive care. The Italian defense ministry has released the names of the victims. For a mission designed to ensure local stability, the sight of flags at half-mast provides a somber start to the week. The domestic courts have also had a busy morning. Minka Kreho was formally appointed president of the state court, having held the role on an acting basis for a year. Meanwhile, federal interior minister Ramo Isak is facing a confirmed indictment for endangering security, and a man detained in a drug smuggling operation was released on a bail of one million KM. Secession threats from Republika Srpska are now reportedly at their most serious in 20 years. This warning arrives as the UN Security Council prepares to meet and as the country's trade data shows a widening gap. Meat imports reached half a billion KM in nine months, while beef exports to Turkey have stopped entirely.
