⚰️ Funeral

Banja Luka hosts the burial of Biljana Plavšić today. The former president of Republika Srpska was convicted of crimes against humanity by the ICTY; the local authorities have marked her passing with a formal commemoration service. The post-election arithmetic has begun across the country's complex administrative layers. In Sarajevo, the formation of a cantonal government has already descended into accusations from Smajić that Stojanović is annulling the will of Bosniaks, to which Stojanović has responded. Meanwhile, Dragan Čović says formal talks on a new national government will wait until next week, with the priority remaining electoral law amendments. Residents of the capital face a more immediate shortage than political consensus. Emergency measures by the water utility mean most of Sarajevo could be without running water between 10 AM and 4 PM today due to scheduled reductions.
