Car Torched in Mladić Link, Armed Forces Battle New Fires

A car belonging to Senad Hubjer, who previously suspended players for glorifying war criminal Ratko Mladić, was set on fire in a significant incident. This development comes as the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Courts has stated that no autopsy will be conducted on Mladić's body following his death.

Meanwhile, new wildfires are consuming several hectares of forest near Mostar, leading to requests for assistance from the BiH Armed Forces. The Grmeč region is also under pressure from new fires, and drone footage has revealed the extensive scale of an ongoing wildfire on Trebević mountain, where helicopter operations have been hampered. Additionally, the United Nations has called for sustained efforts to locate over 7,500 individuals still missing in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
