Vlada Kosova: Vučić izjavama o Radoičiću ohrabruje napade na kosovske policajce
Vlada Kosova je izjavila, da pripombe srbskega predsednika Aleksandra Vučića o Milanu Radoičiću, ki ga Interpol išče zaradi vloge v oboroženem napadu na kosovsko policijo v Bajgori, spodbujajo napade na kosovske policiste.

Več politikov v Iraku aretiranih zaradi obtožb korupcije
Several politicians were arrested in Iraq early on June 28, 2026, on corruption charges, according to local media reports. The arrests followed statements by former deputy oil minister Adnan al-Dulaimi, who was himself arrested in May. Security forces sealed off entrances to Baghdad's Green Zone, where government institutions and embassies are located, and conducted raids. According to a report by the Associated Press (AP), seven individuals were arrested, including five MPs. Some of those detained belonged to the political bloc of former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sadr. Al-Sadr's bloc had won the most seats in the November 2023 parliamentary elections but later withdrew from the Coordination Framework, a coalition of Iran-aligned Shia parties that brought them to power, over disagreements regarding the preferred prime minister candidate. He was replaced by businessman Ali al-Zaidi, who received approval from the United States. Corruption charges in Iraq often intertwine with struggles for influence and control.

Volilni zakon Severne Makedonije blokiran zaradi e-glasovanja diaspore
Predlagani volilni zakon Severne Makedonije, ki bi diasporskim volivcem omogočil elektronsko oddajanje glasov, se je soočil z znatnim nasprotovanjem.

Zaskrbljenost zaradi varnosti, preglednosti in morebitne manipulacije elektronskih volilnih sistemov je privedla do intenzivne razprave med zakonodajalci. Spor poudarja napetosti okoli volilne integritete in izzivov izvajanja novih volilnih tehnologij v politično razdeljenem okolju.
