Minka Kreho has been appointed the new president of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The seat has been under scrutiny since the previous president, Ranko Debevec, was suspended from the post in December 2023. The country's internal divisions have drawn further attention from Vienna; Austria is now urging the European Union to freeze funds intended for Republika Srpska. Meanwhile, political analysts are questioning whether Milorad Dodik has missed his opportunity to capitalize on election momentum and influence the formation of the next government. Daily life in the capital is proving difficult as residents of the Butmir neighborhood protest multi-day water outages. While the taps remain dry, the national budget is proving more liquid for some: directors of state police agencies are scheduled for a pay rise that will see salaries exceed 8,000 KM next year.
