⚔️ Clashing

The struggle to form a governing majority has entered a familiar stalemate. The Party of Democratic Action (SDA) is now maneuvering for a coalition that excludes the 'Trojka' alliance, while Milorad Dodik has preemptively rejected the Democratic Front as a partner. It is a set of conditions that raises questions about whether they will stall the formation of a new political majority. Social issues are providing a grimmer backdrop to the political maneuvering. A ward at a Sarajevo nursing home has been closed following a confirmed scabies outbreak, and reports indicate that children in the capital are now being exposed to drugs as early as age 13. Of the 650 tests conducted monthly in the city, nearly half return a positive result. In more routine business, Borjana Krišto is participating in the Berlin Process Summit of Leaders today. Elsewhere, a fatal accident occurred on the bypass near Bijeljina, resulting in one death.
