🚫 Dodik

International pressure is intensifying on Milorad Dodik, leader of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD), with statements from Sven Alkalaj indicating that Democrats in the United States will pursue new sanctions against him, and that former President Donald Trump is not expected to obstruct these measures. Mujanović echoed this sentiment, stating that sanctions are a matter of 'when, not if' and could soon be considered by the US Congress. Adding to the pressure, Hungary has halted a previously agreed-upon aid program with Milorad Dodik, ending Hungarian subsidies for Republika Srpska. This development comes as Zlatko Lagumdžija and Elmedin Konaković, Minister of Foreign Affairs, criticized Dodik's lobbying efforts, asserting that no amount of money can convince Washington that he supports Western values. In other domestic news, Elektroprivreda BiH plans to increase the price of industrial electricity by 29 percent. Meanwhile, a police officer rescued a driver from an overturned vehicle, and Bosnian basketball player Jusuf Nurkić has resumed training after an injury.
