The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina made a decision to declare the Day of Mourning on the same day as it has been declared in the other entity, so that respect for those killed would be paid on the same day throughout the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<h2>An emergency session</h2>At the proposal of the FBiH Ministry of Labor and Social Policy today, at an emergency session of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a decision was made to declare Wednesday, August 16, 2023, a day of mourning in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the murder of three persons and wounding of the same number of people in Gradačac.Namely, as announced by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, the Government of the FBiH was waiting for the Decision of the Council of Ministers of BiH on the proclamation of the Day of Mourning, and since the adoption of that initiative failed in the Council of Ministers, an emergency session of the Government of the FBiH was convened at which the Decision on the proclamation of the day of mourning was passed in the Federation of BiH.<h2>Not being declared at the state level</h2>The Government of the FBiH was guided by the fact that the Day of Mourning should be marked on the territory of the whole country on the same day, and since the entity of Republika Srpska declared Wednesday as the Day of Mourning, it was decided that the Day of Mourning in the FBiH should also be on Wednesday.In this way, despite the Day of Mourning not being declared at the state level, it will be marked on the territory of both entities on Wednesday, August 16, 2023.

The Council for the Protection of Vital Interest of the Constitutional Court of the Republika Srpska decided today on the issue of admissibility of the request of the Bosniak People's caucus in the Council of Peoples of the RS to determine the violation of the vital national interest of the constituent Bosniak people in the Law on Amendments to the Criminal of the Code of the RS, which was voted by the RS National Assembly on July 20 of this year.When deciding on the admissibility of this request, the Council determined that it is not admissible because it does not contain legal arguments in terms of the relevant norms and guarantees of the RS Constitution on the protection of the vital national interests of the constituent peoples, but the applicant in the specific case primarily points to a violation of state attributes of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as a possible violation of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, announced the RS Constitutional Court.<h2>Did not reach an agreement</h2>This issue was sent to the RS Constitutional Court after an earlier agreement was not reached at the session of the Joint Commission of the RS National Assembly and the RS Council of Peoples to harmonize laws, regulations and acts. Before the session of the Joint Commission, the RS Council of Peoples did not reach an agreement regarding the mentioned law, which criminalizes defamation, that is, it did not accept the Bosniak People’s Caucus amendment to this law.The amendment provided for the deletion of Article 8 of the Law, which represents the introduction of new criminal offenses against honor and reputation, which criminalizes defamation and introduces harsher penalties.<h2>Negative reactions from journalists</h2>President of the Bosniak People's caucus in the RS Council of the People, Alija Tabaković, previously told FENA that this law will probably be supported by the RS Constitutional Court since the Constitutional Court has so far shown in practice that it implements the politics of the ruling parliamentary majority.- What the National Assembly adopts, the Constitutional Court also accepts - said Tabaković at the time.Ever since the Government of the RS established such a draft law, and even after it was adopted in the RSNA, there have been criticisms and negative reactions from journalists, the domestic public, and international organizations.

The Počitelj Bridge, one of the most significant projects on Corridor Vc, has unquestionable mechanical resistance and global stability, this is the conclusion of the meeting held today by representatives of the investor, the public enterprise FBiH Motorways with representatives of other entities involved in the construction of this grand project.The meeting was held at the initiative of the FBiH Motorways in order to obtain complete information about the cracks that appeared on one segment, 4.75 m long, out of almost 200 segments on the bridge, and to agree on a plan to eliminate the resulting damage. The conclusion is that in the next ten days, the work to eliminate these defects will be intensified, the FBiH Motorways stated.<h2>Reminder</h2>In addition to director Denis Lasić, the meeting was also attended by representatives of contractors, consortium Azvirt Limited Liability Company, Sinohydro Corporation Limited and Powerchina Roadbridge Group, representatives of subcontractors, Hering Široki Brijeg, and representatives of the supervisory body of the Italian company IRD Engineering, which supervises the entire Počitelj - Zvirovići section, and representatives of the designer, IPSA Institute Sarajevo.The FBiH Motorways reminds that the Počitelj bridge, 980 meters long, was connected by a span structure at the beginning of July, and should be completed and put into traffic by the end of the year.However, during the works on the Počitelj bridge, damage (cracks appeared) occurred on the lower plate of segment 15, between columns S3 and S4, during the prestressing of the second phase of field 4.<h2>Minor changes</h2>Technically speaking, according to the performed analyses, it is shown that minor changes in the geometry of the cables can lead to significant increases in tensile stress in concrete. Irregularities in the positioning of cable ducts during construction create radial deflection forces that can lead to problems or the appearance of localized cracks.Considering that the execution of the main works on the Počitelj bridge is still in progress, the occurrence of such defects is not unusual, considering the size and complexity of the project. The Superintending Engineer may order the contractor to remove and redo any work not in accordance with the contract. In this case, the contractor will carry out and complete the works in accordance with the contract and in accordance with the instructions of the supervising engineer, that is, eliminate all possible defects in the construction.

The United States condemns threats and acts of intimidation against the Srebrenica Memorial Center and its staff related to their work on the Center's annual 'Srebrenica Genocide Denial Report'.- We call on the responsible institutions to investigate thoroughly these threats and prosecute the perpetrators. We strongly condemn genocide denial as well as distorted and dishonest portrayals of history. There is far too much of both in today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina. Acknowledging and accepting the facts surrounding the genocide and war crimes committed during the 1992-1995 war are an essential first step toward reconciliation - the US Embassy in BiH said in the announcement. They state that it is a responsibility that rests on Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole, not just a single ethnic group. - The glorification of war criminals regardless of their ethnicity as well as efforts to rehabilitate convicted war criminals or minimize their crimes tears at the fabric of the country’s society by fueling hatred and intolerance. These actions undercut efforts to build a Bosnia and Herzegovina in which all its citizens enjoy peaceful and prosperous lives - the statement said.

Although the world media announced at the beginning of this month that air traffic chaos can be expected throughout Europe during summer, with flight delays and postponements, the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not worrying.Director of the Air Navigation Services Agency (BHANSA), Davorin Primorac, says that although we are experiencing record numbers of flights, there has never been a deviation in the quality and safety of air traffic in BiH.The European air traffic safety organization Eurocontrol issued a warning at the beginning of the peak summer season, citing the lack of air traffic controllers, increased military activities that reduced the amount of available airspace by 20 percent, and possible strikes as key reasons.<h2>Recovery of air traffic from the COVID-19</h2>Primorac emphasizes that last year Eurocontrol created scenarios for recovery of air traffic from the COVID-19 pandemic at the European level. The scenarios depended on factors such as inflation, passenger confidence, the war in Ukraine, ticket prices, etc. Three scenarios were created: high, base, and low, and presented in percentages of flights from 2019. According to the High scenario, 2023 should have approached and almost equaled 2019, while the base and low predicted a more modest recovery. In the first half of 2023, traffic at the level of Europe is in accordance with the Eurocontrol base scenario forecast, where 86 percent of traffic from 2019 was recorded in January, 87 percent in February, 88 percent in March, 90 percent in April, 92 percent in May and June.- Although the traffic in Europe has still not returned to the pre-pandemic level, this summer we are experiencing significant delays caused by the lack of air traffic controllers, the war in Ukraine that affected the availability of airspace, strikes by both air traffic controllers and ground staff, i.e. staff at airports. Air traffic in Bosnia and Herzegovina returned to the pre-pandemic level last year. We had a significant increase in the number of flights over BiH in the first half of this year compared to the record year 2019, even 17 percent more flights than in the first half of 2019 - Primorac points out. Thus, in January of this year, BHANSA recorded 14 percent more traffic than in 2019, in February 17 percent, in March 25 percent, on April 24 percent, in May and June 13 percent, while in July about 11 percent more flights are expected than in 2019.

<h2>The summer season started earlier</h2>The lack of air traffic controllers did not bypass BHANSA either. In the previous period, several employees went to Qatar for significantly higher-paying jobs. In addition, the summer season started earlier, so in April, BHANSA recorded the number of flights as in May 2019. Already in May, there were an average of about 1,350, and in June, about 1,500 flights per day in the airspace of the BiH Area Control Center (BHACC), considering that the distribution of traffic differs significantly between weekdays and weekends. Until the first half of July this year, on the busiest day, nearly 1,800 flights were recorded through the BHACC, while over 120 flights were recorded in the peak hour, which is at the same time a key parameter of the load on BHACC and at the same time an indicator of BHANSA's ability to answers to the highest challenges. Although, he says, we are experiencing record numbers of flights, at no time has there been a deviation in the level of quality and safety of BHANSA's services, thanks primarily to highly competent staff and continuous investment in training, improvement of operational and technical solutions, and monitoring of current trends in the development of civil aviation services.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina requests to issue an international warrant for Milenko Živanović, the former commander of the Drina Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska, accused of crimes against humanity committed in the area of Srebrenica and Žepa in July 1995, it was confirmed for Detektor.ba.After the accused Živanović failed to appear in the courtroom three times for the plea of guilty, at the last hearing, the State Prosecutor's Office requested that he be detained and an international warrant issued.<h2>Ordering custody</h2>Although Živanović's defense attorney Petko Pavlović opposed these measures, the Court of BiH then issued a decision ordering custody. The defense filed an appeal against this decision, but it was rejected as unfounded.After ordering detention, the Court also requested the remaining documentation required for the issuance of an international warrant, and the Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Detektor.ba that it had been delivered at the beginning of July, after which an order was issued for the issuance of an international warrant for Živanović.At the previously scheduled plea hearings in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, they stated that all three times there was a problem when serving the summons to the accused in Serbia, where he resides, and that the Court was not informed why, regardless of the urgency.<h2>Aystematic attack against the Bosniak civilian&nbsp;</h2>In December 2021, the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina filed an indictment against Živanović for participating in a broad and systematic attack against the Bosniak civilian population of the safe area of Srebrenica and Žepa, during which the Army of the Republika Srpska and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republika Srpska carried out an operation to permanently and forcibly relocate the civilian population from those zones, an operation to capture and liquidate about 8,000 men. The indictment was later confirmed by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.The indictment states that Živanović, as commander of the Drina Corps, planned and directed the activities of subordinate units in his area of responsibility. His successor as corps commander, Radislav Krstić, is the first person convicted of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), to 35 years in prison.Proceedings against Živanović for the crimes committed in Srebrenica are also conducted by the judiciary in Serbia, and according to the indictment of the Serbian Prosecutor's Office for War Crimes, he is accused of having ordered and participated in the forced relocation of the civilian population of Bosniak nationality in July 1995.
