Judges are expected to deliver a first-instance verdict today in the case of Osman Mehmedagić, former director of the state intelligence apparatus, who stands accused of abuse of office. The decision marks a high-profile moment of judicial scrutiny for a former top security official. Political tension remains high as the Council of Ministers decides whether to allow Serbian citizens to cast ballots locally, and police in Banja Luka have banned a student rally. To the organisers, the ban is a matter of repression; to the authorities, it is a matter of order. The economy offers little relief, with monthly inflation in the Federation hit 1.4 percent and the annual rate reaching 5.7 percent. In a characteristically blunt assessment of coalition prospects, Presidency member Źeljko Komšić suggested that his party and the SDP should not plant gourds together.
