The Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) has claimed a mandate from the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) in the Federal Parliament, a transfer of power decided by the final arrival of mail-in ballots. The shift arrives as Albin Muslić of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) insists that government formation must respect the actual winners of the election; in the local political climate, identifying the winner is often the part where the process stalls.
It was a day of bureaucratic housekeeping that coincided with the news of the death of Asim Kurjak, a globally recognized pioneer in ultrasound diagnostics whose career was as marked by international acclaim as it was by local dispute. His passing at age 84 marks the loss of a figure who left an indelible legacy on fetal medicine through tests and diagnostics that still bear his name.
A failure at several pump stations has left much of Sarajevo without running water, leaving the public utility company to spend its day insisting that the little water remaining in the pipes is safe to drink. Farmers outside the capital face a different shortage: dairy producers say it now takes seven liters of milk to pay for one liter of diesel, a ratio that is shuttering local farms in favor of cheaper imports.
