Milorad Dodik's arrival in the United States has been overshadowed by the Republican party's loss of control in Congress, sparking discussions on the potential ramifications for Bosnia and Herzegovina's energy projects and the broader political strategy of aligning with former President Donald Trump. Analysts suggest that the shift in the US political landscape could diminish the effectiveness of such reliance.

In other domestic news, police in Zenica successfully rescued a woman from the Bosna River. Meanwhile, the water supply company ViK announced planned works that may lead to water outages in 24 streets across Sarajevo.

A union president has demanded a minimum wage increase to 1,500 Bosnian Marks by the end of the year, warning of a worker exodus if the demand is not met. The EU enlargement package was also presented, prompting discussions about Bosnia and Herzegovina's European path and potential missed opportunities.
