A NIGHT THAT DOESN'T END: A memorial for a war criminal
Vinko Pandurević was the commander of the Zvornik Brigade within the Drina Corps of the Republika Srpska Army, and his brigade took part in the July 1995 attack on Srebrenica. The Hague tribunal's verdict states that Pandurević was convicted of "murder as a crime against humanity", "violation of the laws and customs of war", "inhumane acts, forcible transfer as a crime against humanity", and because ‘’he did not take the necessary and reasonable measures to prevent his subordinates from committing crimes"

MIGRANTS - PEOPLE WHOSE SUFFERING EVERYONE MAKES MONEY ON: Smugglers pimp boys as payment for crossing the border
Smuggling of migrants is closely related to human trafficking, which manifests itself in the form of labor exploitation (most pronounced in Herzegovina) and sexual exploitation, which, according to data collected so far, is most prevalent in Krajina.

GEOSTRATEGIC BATTLE FOR THE BALKANS: Dodik is a mere pawn for the Kremlin, he is standing thanks to the oligarchs
Milorad Dodik and Republika Srpska are just Russia's convenient tools for opposing the West. Dodik's political adventure called the return of state competencies to Republika Srpska serves to protect the promise he made to the Russian tycoons with whom he has much stronger ties than with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Sarajevo is not what it used to be
Žurnal in English
BUSULADŽIĆ'S GHOST OVER THE GOLDEN VALLEY: Sarajevo is not what it used to be
If you are brought to the position of the Croat member of the Presidency of BiH by the voters of the Bosniak Nationalist Party, then the consequence is that your politics is created by the SDA. If the position of the mayor of Sarajevo is enabled by voters inclined to the right-wing Bosniak nationalist parties, then you cannot put on the memorial plaque for the crimes in Kazan which criminals did it. If there are streets and schools in the city named after fascists, then you cannot say for yourself that you have a multicultural character. If you say that there is no more room for tolerance, then it is not Sarajevo as it used to be!
Investor withdrawal and collection of billions of loans will follow!

ADVENTURE CALLED TRANSFER OF COMPETENCES: Investor withdrawal and collection of billions of loans will follow!
What happened in the National Assembly of Republika Srpska and what could be heard from Milorad Dodik and the accompanying group can be interpreted as "peaceful and dignified demolition of Bosnia and Herzegovina". Of course, everything is far more serious than making jokes. The biggest problem is that the population that supports them does not receive meaningful warnings about the logical consequences that this, for now only a political adventure, brings in the eventual practice.

A FAMILY OF ADVANCED LOCUSTS: Once a radical, always a radical
At the time of Vučić's radical youth, the order was known when it comes to the forcible confiscation of property, especially in the areas where small Serbia wanted to expand. Military and paramilitary formations come in handy, kill and expel non-Serbs, seize apartments, houses, and property, and then fine-tune it with the Law on the Use of Abandoned Property. Similar methods of expropriation were applied in the domestic field, in which the radicals were in the lead.

Four years later, Judge Drena Marin was sentenced to ten months in prison and banned from performing her duties by this first-instance verdict.

ŽURNAL’S ANSWER TO THE OFFICE OF THE FUZIP DIRECTOR: Your letter is an insulting pamphlet and a serious pressure on our work
Your letter is not any "proactive communication", it is an insulting pamphlet that we experienced as a very serious pressure on our work. And we, just like your Director's Office, will carefully investigate the "nature, subject, and background" of your letter. Unlike you, we will do so without insults and threats, with relevant sources and available documentation.

Vučić and Dodik, partners in the destruction of BiH
Žurnal in English
HORROR SOAP OPERA: Vučić and Dodik, partners in the destruction of BiH
Vučić and Dodik are by no means accidental partners, they are united by the constant production of a state of emergency and "inducing insanity" as a method of rule. And there is the cultivation of extreme nationalism, the preservation of criminal heritage, and the accompanying corruption of surreal proportions. All under the watchful eye of the Kremlin, which is interested in destabilizing the region, keeping all available countries off the Euro-Atlantic course and preventing European integration. It is not difficult to see that Vučić and Dodik intended the fate of the Balkan version of Donetsk for Republika Srpska and that they are ready to go to the end for the realization of their evil plan.

TO FORGET ABOUT THE MILLION KM CRIME: The FBiH government plans to invest more than a million marks to repair the image
The Government of Federacija BiH does not regret the budget money to repair the severely damaged image in public. This PR at the expense of the citizens should help to at least briefly forget the image of the prime minister on the defendant’s bench and the poor response to the pandemic. A paid report would be a story of personal success.
Komšić's generation

IT WAS THE TIME OF ROSES: Komšić's generation
The painful post-war period was not at all painful for Komšić. On the contrary, "it was a time of roses", he had a high income and enjoyed all the privileges this state could give to anyone. As he himself says, he was “comfortable in peace” and “maybe he was too lulled and relaxed” so he forgot that the state needed to be built. How did we feel during that time?

DURING THE POLITICAL CRISIS: BiH tops the list in terms of the number of deaths, the last in the region in terms of the number of vaccinated
Lost between the political crisis in the country, war topics, floods, price increases, topics about the coronavirus have less and less place in the media.
