Locals warned about the pipes near the hot springs of Bunica, the Federal Ministry of Environment reacted.
Residents of Malo Polje near Blagaj have raised concerns after noticing pipes installed near the spring of the Bunica River, which they claim are used to discharge wastewater from the highway construction site. Following these reports, the Federation Ministry of Environment and Tourism has initiated institutional actions to investigate the situation and protect this highly sensitive natural area. According to media reports and citizen complaints, work involving the installation of drainage pipes for runoff water from the highway construction site has been observed approximately 300 meters away from the Bunica spring. The ministry has requested an inspection to determine the factual status of the situation and take corrective measures if any violations are found. A letter was also sent to JP Autoceste FBiH, requesting them to urgently verify the claims on-site and take appropriate action, including potentially halting work until compliance with existing regulations and approved project documentation is ensured. Federal Minister of Environment and Tourism Nasiha Pozder emphasized that the ministry will not allow activities that could harm nature to be treated as technical details, re

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.
Several Croatian parties stand behind the candidacy of Franjo Jukić for Vice President of the Republic of Croatia
The article reports that the candidacy of Franjo Jukić for the position of Deputy President of the Republic of Srpska has received support from multiple Croatian political parties within Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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. Jukić has lived and worked in Banja Luka for ten years, becoming familiar with the challenges and needs of Croatian families, returnees, representatives of the Catholic Church, associations, entrepreneurs, and local communities. He is also a member of the Council of the Government of the Republic of Croatia for Croats abroad, representing Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina. His role involves proposing initiatives aimed at improving the status of Croats outside Croatia and protecting their rights and identity. Previously, his candidacy was supported by two regional branches of HDZ BiH and 11 municipal and city branches, mostly from the Posavina and North-Western Bosnia regions.
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
Ramić: The police of the RS entity continue to torture those who are unable to defend themselves.
Edin Ramić, a member of the Social Democratic Party (SDA) and representative of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina's House of Representatives, criticized proposed amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republika Srpska entity. These amendments would penalize the display of the flag of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Armija RBiH) with up to three years in prison, as well as the use of force and administrative orders related to displaying the flag of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Ramić accused the police of the Republika Srpska of continuing to target individuals who cannot defend themselves, citing past incidents where they failed to intervene during peaceful demonstrations like the March of the Living. He suggested that these measures are politically motivated ahead of elections and aimed at creating tension, particularly around Srebrenica. Ramić emphasized the need to protect citizens' rights and cultural identity, stating that the Republika Srpska has no constitutional basis to restrict the use of BiH symbols. He recommended seeking judicial decisions in any interactions with the police to ensure legal protection.

Putin recognizes the oil map for the first time
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged for the first time that Russia is building 'some oil reserves' during a meeting focused on energy issues. He emphasized the need to strengthen domestic oil production and increase output. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued their attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, detonating an oil purification plant in the southern Krasnodar region, which produces around four million tons of crude oil annually. The Krasnodar region is one of Russia's largest oil-producing areas located near the Black Sea. On Tuesday, Ukrainian forces launched large-scale air strikes on Sevastopol, the largest city on Crimea, including attacks on oil facilities. In response, Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014, has restricted fuel sales to the public to counteract the energy shortages. According to reports, these attacks have had no impact on the front line. During an interview with a Russian state television station, Putin described the Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure as an attempt to destabilize Russian society. He stated that Ukraine's goal was to halt the deployment of Russian military units to improve their position in arms control talks.
