SCANDALOUS VISIT OF ERDOGAN: Mosque for Bosnia and Herzegovina, drones for Serbia that are produced by Bakir Izetbegović's godson
The Turkish president used his visit to directly support the SDA, interfere in domestic political situations and accuse the West of killing Muslims. He promised the Bosnians and Herzegovinians a new mosque and agreed with Vučić on the sale of combat drones produced by Bakir Izetbegović's godson.

THE PRESIDENT'S PLUM ORCHARD: How Milorad Dodik imagines freedom and the state
This is Dodik's idea of the state - a feudal estate, where the party's infrastructure serves to collect tribute from which narrow family circles take the largest part. As for freedom, he means by that term blind loyalty to the master, gratitude for the merest wages.

HUNT FOR A ŽURNAL COLUMNIST: How Andrej Nikolaidis became an "enemy of the state" in Montenegro
Part of Nikolaidis' text for Žurnal about Andrić and Njegoš was the occasion for another harangue on this multi-awarded writer and literary critic. The orchestrated chase, even with undisguised calls for lynching, began with insults on Twitter, and only "more beautifully packaged" insults continued in certain Montenegrin media, imbued with politics, ideology and nationalism.

SUITABLE AND UNSUITABLE VICTIMS: Rehabilitation of Nikola Kalabić and other stories
Serbia is ruled by bandits, criminal minds who have occupied all key positions in politics, the judiciary, the media, the church, and cultural institutions. They grabbed power and wealth by climbing the pyramid of human corpses, and now they decide our fate from the top. Although they present themselves as great patriots and nationalists, when it comes to the dead, they cultivate a special kind of internationalism. For them, every victim is good, regardless of nationality, Bosniak, Croatian, Albanian, Serbian - only if they can use it to maintain their position of power.

DESTRUCTION OF LAKE PROKOŠKO: Illegal construction, garbage, fishing and motors bikes inside the natural monument
Lake Prokoško was declared a natural monument in 2005. Seventeen years later, happy tourists in the first protection zone can rent quads and off-road motorcycles every day. Lambs are slaughtered, there are barbeques, and people even fish. It seems as though the inspectors are never returning from their annual vacation, while all the prescribed prohibitions are being violated on the lake, as evidenced by the Žurnal's cover photo gallery.

FOLLOWING PUTIN'S DOCTRINE: When Vučić's progressives start denazification
The scenario of Vučić's failed play is always the same: first, he causes tensions and riots, announces the possibility of war for who knows what reason, declares the Serbs an endangered species, and then prays for peace and calming of tensions. The progressive camarilla is most reminiscent of those criminals from movies who charge the owners of shops, restaurants, and stores in their area for protection - they take their racket in order to protect them from themselves.

A NEW JUDICIAL PROBLEM: The accused and suspected report the prosecutors investigating them
Reporting prosecutors to the HJPC Disciplinary Prosecutor's Office is becoming an increasingly common practice for suspects. At the same time, the suspects and even the accused file criminal charges against the prosecutors who work on their cases. The reported prosecutors thus distance themselves from the investigation even in its finalization, which only helps the impunity of general crime and corruption.

STATE OF DENIAL: When will Serbia recognize the genocide in Srebrenica

IDEAL JOB FOR THE UNEMPLOYED: Russian agent in Serbia
If there are Russian agents in Serbia at all, it is a dream job that is carried out under the national slogan "lay down bread, so that I can eat you". What could Russian spys do? To reveal some well-hidden state secrets? Well, our Russophiles bring them such things voluntarily, on a tray, along with breakfast, newspapers and morning coffee. To spread Kremlin propaganda? The one in question reached its maximum a long time ago, we are not even lagging behind Russia, it cannot be more up to date. To create an anti-European and anti-American mood? We have already achieved this a long time ago, almost the entire political, intellectual and media scene is working hard on it.

ERDOGAN'S BEQUESTS AND PLANS: Dodik is an economic and political partner, Izetbegović is an associate for weddings
While Turkish President Erdogan's "mouth is full of Bosnia", he treats Bakir Izetbegović, Aliji's successor on the SDA throne, only as a special guest for "weddings and funerals". For those more serious political talks and economic moves, SNSD leader Milorad Dodik is closer to him, apparently.

PUTIN'S WAR PROPAGANDA: A lie armed to the teeth
Putin's propaganda does not try to convince reasonable people of anything, it does not address those who care about the real truth, those who search for the real state of affairs. Putin's propaganda machinery appeals to a different kind of people, one that does not seek the truth to act in accordance with it, but only seeks the authority and force to which it will submit.

ANOTHER 500 KM FOR OUR PARLIAMENTARIANS: Salaries of 5000 KM, apartments, holiday homes, business premises, million savings…
The salary of around 5,000 KM plus various fees and lump sums, apartments, houses, holiday homes, business premises, land and savings in their accounts were not enough for the deputies in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH to get through these difficult times. The salary increase of 500 KM was necessary because only those MPs who voted for the increase own property with a minimum value of seven million KM…

DAY OF THE POLICE: Thanks to Vučić and General Mladić
Vulin especially thanked Vučić, whom he called the president of all Serbian citizens, but also the president of all Serbs on planet Earth and in the near space, repeating for the umpteenth time his idea of a Serbian world far beyond Serbia, which should be ruled by one the supreme leader, the one who is also responsible for Vulin's political existence.

"INVESTORS": Who enabled the Chinese to take over natural resources in Herzegovina?
Having in mind China's reputation for corrosive capital, and that their funding sources lack transparency and accountability, which is understandable because all finances come from one authoritarian regime, it is clear that China through its companies in some way buys the favour of some BiH politicians who favour them in mastering natural resources. Tomorrow, it can be used as a means of influencing political decisions in favour of the Chinese and their interests in BiH

The day after our attempt to visit the Sinohydro headquarters at 5 Svetozara Markovića Street, we learned that the Chinese company’s headquarters had been registered at a new address. No less and no more – than in the building of the Tax Administration of the RS, on Trg Republike Srpske at number 8 / XII. It is impossible to enter the building without notice, and contact with Sinohydra is impossible via e-mail address or phone

CHINESE SLOWLY TAKE THE HIGHWAY TO THE LARGEST WIND FARM IN BIH: Four years for one tender on the Vc corridor through Herzegovina
While Russian influence and the Russian people in BiH are talked about and discussed on a daily basis, and then the influence of the West, Chinese influence is in the background. But Chinese companies are taking a nice business cake, and providing themselves with multimillion-dollar jobs, plants and facilities in BiH. They enter slowly, gently, or as the most famous director would say "from behind", in order to break through.

LAVROV & VUČIĆ: Why is Serbia not allowed to lead Russian politics?
Lavrov's visit failed because Russian officials, no matter how much they despised every form of order and legality, still have to respect the laws of physics, whether they want to or not. It is not clear how the agreement on the visit was reached at all, whether Aleksandar Vučić invited the Russian minister to come for a glass of conversation or Lavrov invited himself, and such an offer is never rejected in putinophile Serbia.

The RS Minister of Health would be happy just to end up on US sanctions for everything that he did. However, if the day comes for the prosecutors to disobey Dodik, Alen Šeranić and the others will be with Dodik again "side by side", only this time on the defendant's bench.
