Political Delegation Attacked; Capital Unveils Urban Plan Amidst Utility Woes

A concerning political incident unfolded as the Croatian Republican Party (HRS) delegation reported an attack in Ravno, with party member Božo Raguž allegedly sustaining severe head injuries. This comes as Sarajevo simultaneously looks to the future, unveiling a comprehensive urban development plan for 2036 that aims to transform the city with new tree-lined streets, expanded tram services, and an end to haphazard urban growth.

However, daily life in the capital is also being impacted by new planned power outages affecting several municipalities and ongoing water supply reductions, with a significant portion of the city experiencing disruptions. In other domestic news, a father-in-law has been sentenced to two years in prison for an axe assault, and an investigation is underway into allegations that children were involved in generating substantial daily incomes for the Hamidović clan.

Economically, Bosnia and Herzegovina's poultry imports are now exceeding exports, with projections indicating higher prices for consumers next year. Milorad Dodik, formerly President of Republika Srpska, also made a statement asserting that the Drina River has historically not served as a border for a single nation. Furthermore, a campaign has been launched to raise over 52,807 KM to help a young mother from Srebrenik battling cancer.
