⚖️ Acquitted

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has acquitted Osman Mehmedagić, former director of the Intelligence and Security Agency, of abuse of office. The judges found the prosecution’s indictment lacked the legal elements required to prove the charges, a conclusion that follows months of speculation over how the case would survive the bench. The Federation government denied it had dismissed Minister Vojin Mijatović, insisting his departure was a procedural necessity to keep the ministry running. The clarification follows a court order barring him from his duties due to an indictment. Elsewhere, Slaven Raguž of the HRS signaled a willingness to join a government, provided his party is not expected to simply take orders from the HDZ. Six US congressmen have asked Donald Trump to explain why his advisors accepted paid travel to Republika Srpska. Closer to home, the civil protection agency has warned that 13 locations face floods and landslides within 48 hours. Separately, economic data shows the cost of living in the Federation rose 5.7 percent in the year to September.
