Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing new domestic challenges as test elections across the country were marred by issues, including some polling stations not opening on time. This comes alongside a heightened political atmosphere, with the leader of the Croatian Peasant Party threatening a "total blockade" if Bosniak votes are perceived to "outvote" Croat representatives.

In a significant environmental development, heavy rainfall has begun in Čapljina and other parts of the country, potentially bringing an end to a period of extreme heat and dryness that has been linked to recent wildfires.

Amidst these developments, there is also news of future infrastructure and energy projects, including the planned construction of a new city aimed at providing more affordable housing, and a signed contract for a 53 million KM solar power plant.
