🇲🇩 #Moldova: Five Russian drones and missiles violated Moldovan airspace within just 15 minutes yesterday morning, with all five reportedly exploding on Moldovan territory near settlements across four districts.

Moldovan President Maia Sandu condemned the incident, saying Russia’s war against Ukraine is directly endangering the lives of Moldovan citizens. The violations occurred amid Russia's latest large-scale strikes on Ukraine.

🇧🇦 🇭🇷 First time since 2018 that Croats will be represented by an actual Croat. The previous member of the Presidency representing Croats was Zeljko Komsic, a left-wing politician elected with Bosniak Muslim votes who did not identify as an ethnic Croat.

🏳️ 🇭🇷 🇧🇦 With HDZ and SNSD candidates leading the Croat and Serb seats in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Presidency, the country could see a new political alignment.

Milorad Dodik, who was barred from holding public office following his conviction, could potentially be pardoned, allowing him to return to office and possibly become Prime Minister of Republika Srpska.

🇷🇸🇺🇸 Milorad Dodik has declared victory for SNSD at all levels, saying the party would have been “politically dead” without Donald Trump’s victory.

“If it weren’t for Trump’s magnificent victory, we would probably be political dead men today. But thanks to the new environment, we are now political winners,” Dodik said.

He added that anyone who's claiming it is clearly lying.
