Bosnian Entity to Revive Oil and Gas Quest

Experts are cautious about the potential financial benefits, estimating significant reserves in both southern and northern Bosnia.
European Court Tells Bosnia to Remove Illegal Church
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Bosnia and Herzegovina must remove an illegally-built Serbian Orthodox church from Fata Orlovic's property, a decision that concludes her two-decade-long legal battle. The court also ordered Bosnia to pay Orlovic 5,000 euros and set a three-month deadline for the church's removal. Orlovic, a Bosniak living in Republika Srpska, has faced harassment and legal challenges during her campaign. The ruling highlights issues of property rights and ethnic tensions in the region.
Balkan Oscars Hopefuls Start to Dream of Hollywood

Bosnia and Herzegovina has selected 'The Son' by Ines Tanovic, Croatia has chosen 'Mali' by Antonio Nuic, North Macedonia has picked 'Honeyland' by Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov, Romania has nominated 'The Whistlers' by Corneliu Porumboiu, and Serbia has put forward 'King Peter of Serbia' by Petar Ristovski. The final list of Oscar nominees will be announced in January, with the awards ceremony scheduled for February 9.
Bosnian Capital Readies for Pride March – and Counter-Marches
Sarajevo is preparing for its first Pride parade, aimed at supporting LGBTIQ rights, with around 500 participants expected. Despite anticipated opposition, organizers and police are confident in the event's safety. The parade has received support from the US Embassy and some local politicians, while counter-marches promoting traditional family values are also planned. Bosnia and Herzegovina remains the only former Yugoslav country without a public Pride event, reflecting its socially conservative stance and history of violence against LGBT events.
Sarajevo Prepares to Shine for Film Festival Jubilee
Bosnia's capital, Sarajevo, is set to host the 25th Sarajevo Film Festival, featuring 270 films from 56 countries, including 68 world premieres. The festival, which begins with a street parade on August 16, will see notable guests like Gael Garcia Bernal and Alejandro G Inarritu. The event, supported by UNESCO, aims to promote dialogue and tolerance through the arts. The festival has grown significantly since its inception in 1995 during the Bosnian Serb siege, becoming a major cultural event in the region.
Aluminium Giant’s Collapse Threatens Bosnia with Political Meltdown
Bosnia's Aluminij company in Mostar faces potential bankruptcy within six months unless it can resolve its financial issues. The company's trade union demands immediate action on unpaid salaries and severance pay, threatening protests if ignored. The Federation government is under pressure to save the company, with political blame games exacerbating Bosnia's political and economic instability, also impacting neighboring Croatia.
Bosnia’s Mostar Commemorates War-Blasted Bridge’s Reconstruction
Mostar commemorated the 15th anniversary of the reconstruction of its Old Bridge, a symbol of multi-ethnicity and communal life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The event, organized by the Centre for Peace and Multiethnic Cooperation, included a ceremony where UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres received an award for his peace efforts. The bridge, originally built in the 16th century and destroyed during the 1990s Balkans wars, was rebuilt and reopened in 2004. Despite its historical and cultural significance, Mostar remains divided between its Bosniak and Croat populations.
Bosnia’s First State Prison to Open After 13-Year Wait
Bosnia and Herzegovina's first state-level prison is set to open on August 1, addressing the country's inadequate jail capacity. Justice Minister Josip Grubesa highlighted the prison as a step towards strengthening the rule of law. The project, initiated in 2006 and delayed by legal issues, was funded by the Council of Europe’s Development Bank, EU, foreign grants, and Bosnian state funds. The new facility will house around 350 inmates, including war criminals and those convicted of organized crime, and aims to meet European standards for humane prisons.
Bosnian Federation Grants New Benefits to War Veterans
Lawmakers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have adopted a new law granting 16 rights to war veterans, including subsistence payments for those in social need and aged 57 or older. Disabled veterans with a monthly income below 85 euros can apply for regular benefits. The law allocates 2.5 euros for each month spent in the armed forces, with funding secured through a rebalanced budget. The law will take effect once signed by the Federation's president and published in the Official Gazette.
