Bosnia and Herzegovina among Europe's sports elite: Only five countries have achieved such success
Bosna i Hercegovina postala je jednom od pet europskih zemalja koje su uspješno plasirale svoje košarkaške i nogometne reprezentacije u knock-out faze dvaju najvećih međunarodnih turnira – Eurobasketa 2025. i Svjetskog prvenstva 2026. Košarkaši, vođeni Jusufom Nurkićem, prošli su grupnu fazu i dospijeli do knock-out faze, gde su bili izbačeni Poljskom. Nogometna reprezentacija je prošla grupnu fazu nakon čuda u baražu protiv Walesa i Italije, a u 1/32 finala je bila zaustavljena domaćinska ekipa SAD-a. Njemački FAZ je pozvao bosansku nogometnu reprezentaciju „najvoljenijom na svijetu“, naglašavajući emocionalnu podršku sportistima i javnosti. Članovi timova kao što su Sergey Barbarez, Edin Džeko, Jusuf Nurkić, Tarik Muharemović, Nikola Katić i Edin Atić pokazali su kako rad i trud mogu doprinijeti napretku društva.
An American gets the maximum amount of recovery time at Wimbledon.
The article discusses the scheduling of the first-round doubles match at Wimbledon involving American tennis player Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams against the Argentine-Colombian pair Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio. The match was initially scheduled for Thursday and Friday but has been postponed due to Serena's injury during her singles match. Tournament organizer Andy Murray (likely a misstatement, as Andy Murray is a British player, and the correct name might be someone like Ashley Barker or another official) stated they are giving Serena as much time as possible to recover. They ruled out postponing the match to later dates unless necessary for safety or tournament flow. The match is expected to take place on a larger court to accommodate the large crowd attracted by Serena and Venus, who are major stars. Serena returned to professional tennis after four years, but she lost her first singles match and injured her knee. She did not attend a press conference afterward due to health reasons and expressed her commitment to participating in the doubles event. Serena and Venus have won six doubles titles together, including a title in 2016.

At least two people were killed and eight injured in Russian air strikes on the Sumy region and Kryvyj Rih in Ukraine during the night of Thursday to Friday, according to Ukrainian authorities.

In response to the attacks, Ukraine conducted missile strikes on Belgorod in Russia, causing a fire at an energy facility and killing one woman, according to Russian media.

Another seven people were injured in a missile strike on Kryvyj Rih, according to military city administrator Oleksandr Vilkul. In Kyiv, teams discovered three more dead bodies during the night, bringing the total number of victims to 30, according to Reuters citing Ukrainian health authorities. Kyiv's military administrator Tymur Tkačenko stated that the attack injured 99 people. Moscow claimed the extensive attack was a response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including those carried

The supporting parties include HSP BiH, HKDU BiH, HSP AS, HDU BiH, HSP Herceg Bosne, and HRAST. The candidacy is based on Jukić’s long-term work, experience, and understanding of the situation of Croats in the Republic of Srpska.

The Dragons have received a big reinforcement: the talented goalkeeper of the German Bundesliga will play for Bosnia and Herzegovina!
The Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team has taken a significant step toward securing future talent by granting citizenship to young goalkeeper Amil Šiljević, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. The decision was made by the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which approved Šiljević’s naturalization as an individual of particular importance for the country in sports. Šiljević, born in 2007 in Frankfurt, has been part of Eintracht’s academy since age nine and is considered one of the most promising goalkeepers of his generation. Despite being called up to German youth teams and having the option to represent Serbia, he chose Bosnia and Herzegovina, joining the national youth setup in March 2024. However, he could not participate in friendly matches due to lacking a BH passport. With his new citizenship, he is now expected to gain eligibility to play for the senior national team, with the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina viewing him as a potential long-term solution for the position.
Dalić has no contract with the Croatian national team as of today, a decision on his future has not been made
After Croatia's elimination by Portugal in the World Cup round of 16, speculation around Zlatko Dalić's future as national team coach has intensified. The issue became a major topic in Croatian sports media, fueled by Dalić's ambiguous comments after the tournament. Discussions about extending his contract have been ongoing for months, with HNS officials offering him a new deal until the 2028 European Championship. However, Dalić expressed a preference to focus solely on the World Cup and stated he would discuss the contract after the tournament. His team's 2-1 loss to Portugal, particularly after a disallowed goal by Josko Gvardiol, added to the uncertainty. Dalić avoided giving a direct answer on whether he would stay, leaving possibilities open. Some interpretations of his remarks about 'the end of an era' and 'new beginnings' suggest potential departure. Over nearly nine years, Dalić led Croatia to three major medals, including silver at the 2018 World Cup and bronze in 2022. The HNS has not indicated plans to replace him, meaning the final decision rests with Dalić. If he leaves, the HNS will need to organize a successor selection process, with names like Slaven Bilić and IvoO
In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño. Brandolini connects the

How did BiH become a World Cup hit and why will the neutrals be on our side against the U.S.?
The World Cup has entered its elimination phase, with only 32 matches remaining after tonight's match between Canada and South Africa. The tournament is now in its final stages, with high stakes and exciting matches ahead. Lionel Messi has already scored six goals in this part of the tournament, showcasing his exceptional performance and leading Argentina effectively. France, on the other hand, has a strong offensive trio comparable to the legendary Brazilian '3R' (Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo), with players like Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Alexis Maxence. These players are all at their peak and have performed well, helping France comfortably win their group. However, many top players, including Mbappé and Messi, have not played all the minutes due to the increased number of matches in the knockout stage. Portugal, however, is struggling, having won only against Uzbekistan, who were one of the worst teams in the tournament. Portuguese players like João Félix, João Neves, and Nuno Mendes are underperforming, while Cristiano Ronaldo is the only one meeting expectations. Ronaldo has played all 270 minutes in the tournament and scored two goals against Uzbekistan, but he
