An area in Sarajevo's Ciglane neighborhood was cordoned off and evacuated today following a report of an unknown device in a cafe garden, with police actively investigating the bomb threat. The incident prompted a rapid response from authorities, causing disruption in the capital.
Beyond the capital, a significant fire engulfed a production hall with generators in Banja Luka, requiring firefighter intervention. The country also remains under an orange weather alert, with meteorologists predicting extreme temperatures reaching up to 43 degrees Celsius. New social and economic discussions have also emerged, including increasing pressure for the return of Sunday work and a debate on adopting paid leave for painful menstruation.
On a brighter note, Sarajevo is set to become a regional hub tonight as tens of thousands are expected to attend Dino Merlin's highly anticipated concert at Koševo stadium, marking his return after 11 years with a show expected to be historically significant.
