President of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) of Bosnia and Herzegovina Halil Lagumdžija received the Ambassador of the Republic of France to Bosnia and Herzegovina Christine Toudic in an inaugural visit.

The French Ambassador expressed full support for the HJPC B&amp;H on the path of reform, emphasizing that the rule of law is a key priority for the European Union and B&amp;H.
Toudic also stressed that the rule of law is a fundamental precondition for restoring public confidence in the justice system and creating a "healthier environment" in which young people want to stay in B&amp;H and that will influence economic development in terms of attracting foreign investors and companies.
President Lagumdžija emphasized the importance of adopting amendments to the Law on the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina and expressed the need for support in that process.
At the same time, Lagumdžija and Toudic commented on the results of the first phase of the EU4Justice Justice Project, funded by the European Union and implemented by the GIP Justice Cooperation International (JCI), as well as on future cooperation during the second phase of the project, announced the HJPC B&amp;H.

Only they can do that - blame everyone else, and do nothing because they are incapable of looking for solutions. This is how the government created by SDA officials behaves regarding the procurement of the vaccines, writes the portal The Bosnia Times.
Thus, SDA MP in the State Parliament Nermin Mandra said that the chairman of the Council of Ministers, Zoran Tegeltija, should be removed, if he continues to behave passively regarding the procurement of vaccines.
While the Prime Minister of the Federation of B&amp;H, Fadil Novalić, sent a public call for help and suggestions for the procurement of vaccines for the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. This way we use the opportunity to inform him that it only takes a little good will and desire to do the same. The Framework Law on Protection and Rescue of Bosnia and Herzegovina provides for a body that has exclusive competencies related to these or similar events.
Instead of trying to shift the responsibility to others and persistently spinning that the chairman of the CoM or the Minister of Civil Affairs are primarily responsible, it is enough to look at the framework law on protection and rescue that was just written for situations similar to this pandemic. The exclusive competence for the implementation of this law lies with the Minister of Security, who has in his hands all the necessary instruments for the complete and efficient procurement and distribution of funds for the protection of the health of the population.

On this occasion, it is especially emphasized that this body is a body formed by the decision of the Chairman of the CoM and it is operational at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with no transfer of competencies and operational implementation of decisions remains at lower levels of government.
However, all communication or data distribution is centralized. Stop looking for the culprit, gentlemen Bosniak politicians, it is enough to call your Minister Selmo Cikotić and order him to start doing the job for which heis paid. He owns all the instruments, all it takes is willpower. If something is not clear to him, let him call Fahrudin Radončić, who in the short time he spent at the head of the ministry, ie the coordinating body, showed that it is also functional and operational. During this period, there was effective coordination of all levels of government in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the country functioned. Stop looking for the culprit, you have solutions, writes The Bosnia Times.

Just look at the framework law on protection and rescue that has just been written for situations similar to this pandemic. The sole responsibility for enforcing this law lies with the Minister of Security

A shortage of vaccines means Sweden expects to offer all adults a first dose of a vaccine against COVID-19 by August 15, later than its original plan of the end of June, officals said on Thursday.

-As the delivery forecast looks today, everyone over 18 should be able to have their first dose of the vaccine at the latest by August 15- Marie Morell, health care chief of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions told reporters at a news conference.
Health Minister Lena Hallengren said the delay was due to a shortage of vaccines and changes in recommendations over how the vaccines are used.

Minister of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina Selmo Cikotić during his last visit to the Lipa site near Bihać confirmed that preparations for the construction of a migrant center are in the final phase, and that construction work can begin soon.

-We want to organize all the work the best we can, i.e. to harmonize the activities of all organizations involved in this process. We hope that we will be able to harmonize the complete dynamics of the works with the planned deadlines, or more specifically to have important outlines of the migrant settlement at this location by the end of April or the beginning of May- said Cikotić.
Representatives of the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs of B&amp;H and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) divided the process of building a reception center for 1,500 people into four phases.
-In the first phase, we worked on establishing the construction preconditions, i.e. clearing the area and preparing the terrain for the beginning of construction works. The second phase is nearing completion, in which planning and project documentation has been prepared, and financial resources have been secured for the construction of a migrant center. Tender procedures have already been announced, which should be completed within two or three weeks- said Head of the Office of the Minister of Security of B&amp;H, Senahid Godinjak.
Full control and supervision over the current tent settlement at this location is under the jurisdiction of the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs of B&amp;H, and dignified living conditions have been provided for more than 950 migrants and refugees.
He added that a certain type of preventive isolation was established last week, or temporary accommodation for people who are just coming to the camp and undergoing medical triage, thus trying to control the health and epidemiological situation as much as possible.

Alcoholic drinks will be prohibited in French parks and other outdoor public spaces as part of the new limited nationwide lockdown to stem the Covid-19 crisis, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced Thursday.

Addressing the National Assembly, Castex also said authorities would be quick to disperse groups of more than six people on riverbanks or squares after the new restrictions unveiled by President Emmanuel Macron late Wednesday.
Castex said he "unreservedly" condemned people who had not been respecting the rules, after images of beer-swigging crowds on riverbanks under spring sunshine in cities including Paris and Lyon.
Meanwhile, prosecutors should "systematically" probe organisers of clandestine parties for putting the lives of others in danger, he added.
By decreeing school closures and systematic work-from-home protocols, Macron hopes to ease pressure on hospitals facing a new surge in coronavirus cases that are overwhelming intensive care units.
But he refrained from demanding that people stay in their homes or avoid socialising completely, and authorised travel between regions over the coming Easter weekend.
The measures were met with a mix of resignation and anger, despite Macron's suggestion that France could begin envisioning a return to normalcy by mid-May.
-Lockdown, the sequel... and the end?- Le Figaro headlined its front page Thursday, while mass-market Le Parisien said Macron was defending his strategy of "slowing without shutting down" even though "the situation has never been so dangerous or complicated."

As during the first lockdown last spring, parents are scrambling to make arrangements for another round of distance learning.

-It was absolutely necessary to close the schools, even if it will be complicated for parents, and especially young children, to manage this situation- Laure, 44, a researcher with two young boys who lives in Paris, said after Macron's TV address.
In a bid to ease the pain, Macron shuffled the timetable for school holidays and younger children will return to school on April 26 after taking their spring break, and older pupils will follow a week later.
Castex, who provided lawmakers with details of the new measures, said low-income families would receive financial aid for children no longer eating school lunches.
Health Minister Olivier Veran said the number of new Covid cases could peak in the next seven to ten days, while intensive care cases in hospitals might top out by the end of April.
-The goal is to suppress this wave of the epidemic... so that it's as small as possible- he told France Inter radio.

Passengers and all other citizens can be tested for coronavirus at the Sarajevo International International Airport as of today.

Namely, the Sarajevo Airport signed the cooperation agreement with the Eurofarm polyclinic, which will perform antigen and RT-PCR test at the airport, and the time required to obtain the test results will be 15-20 minutes for antigen testing or one and a half hours for PCR test, announced the Sarajevo International Airport.
It is planned that antigen testing will be performed inside the terminal building, while PCR testing would be performed in the area in front of the terminal building according to the drive-through principle.
The price of PCR testing is 100 KM, while antigen testing costs 45 KM, and the prices are formed taking into account the speed of sample processing and obtaining results.
Finally, it is important to note that not only passengers flying from Sarajevo International Airport will be able to test, but also everyone else who needs a fast and quality testing service for Covid-19 virus.
The working hours of the test points at the Sarajevo International Airport will be in line with the Sarajevo International Airport, from early morning to late evening, the statement said.

European Union states are expected to receive 107 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of March, an EU Commission spokeswoman said on Wednesday, hitting an earlier target but far below initial plans.

Under contracts signed with drugmakers, the bloc had expected to receive 120 million doses by the end of March from Anglo-Swedish firm AstraZeneca alone and tens of millions more doses from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
But after major cuts from AstraZeneca, the EU had revised down its target until the end of March to about 100 million doses.
The Commission spokeswoman told a news conference that AstraZeneca was expected to deliver 29.8 million doses by Wednesday, in line with its revised-down goal.
Pfizer-BioNTech will deliver 67.5 million doses and Moderna nearly 10 million, figures that the EU has said are in line with their initial commitments.
The EU expects a major ramp-up of deliveries in the second quarter that it says will be sufficient to inoculate at least 70% of its adult population by July, and speed up its so far slow vaccination drive.

Ukraine reported on Wednesday a record number of new coronavirus deaths and daily hospitalisations as authorities struggled to accelerate a vaccine rollout.

-The situation with coronavirus disease remains quite tense- Health Minister Maksym Stepanov told a daily briefing.
On Wednesday, the ex-Soviet state reported 11,226 new coronavirus cases and 407 deaths, a new daily high.
The number of people hospitalised was also set a daily record, at 5,558, a major burden for Ukraine's ageing healthcare system.
The country of 40 million launched a nationwide vaccination campaign in late February, later than most European countries, following delays that sparked criticism of President Volodymyr Zelensky's policies.
More than 230,000 people have so far received a first dose.
Ukraine has received 500,000 doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine marketed under the name Covishield and produced in India.
Many Ukrainians, including healthcare workers who are first in line to receive the vaccine, are sceptical of Covishield, which has been criticised on social media for being produced in India rather than the West.
Ukraine has also received 215,000 doses of China's CoronaVac vaccine but its rollout is not expected to begin before next week.
Since the start of the pandemic Ukraine has recorded over 1.6 million coronavirus infections and more than 32,000 deaths.

Today, the President of SBB, Fahrudin Radončić, received in an inaugural visit the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Bosnia and Herzegovina, His Excellency Igor Kalabukhov. During the meeting, the importance and need for cooperation between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Russian Federation was emphasized.
On this occasion, the need to reduce tensions in political and interethnic relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina was emphasized, because there is a general international consensus that our country develops and builds more successfully through internal dialogue of legitimate representatives and a compromise that will enable a more stable political situation.
SBB President Fahrudin Radončić introduced Ambassador Kalabukhov, among other things, to SBB's strong Euro-Atlantic policy.
In the end, Radončić wished a successful mandate to Ambassador Kalabuhov in Bosnia and Herzegovina and thanked him for his personal commitment in trying to get the B&amp;H authorities to eventually procure larger quantities of the corona vaccine.

An Italian navy captain has been arrested on spying charges after allegedly passing "confidential documents" to a Russian military official in exchange for money, police said Wednesday.

The Italian, a middle-ranking officer serving as a frigate captain, was caught red-handed after a "clandestine meeting" with the Russian late Tuesday in Rome, according to a police statement.
Special operations Carabinieri police swooped in and stopped both men, but only the Italian was arrested. 
The Russian, an embassy official, avoided custody thanks to his diplomatic immunity, the statement said.
Police said the suspected spy in the navy was discovered after long investigations led by Italy's domestic intelligence agency AISI, with support from the Chief of the Defence Staff. 
Reacting to the arrest, Italy's foreign affairs ministry said it had summoned the Russian ambassador to Rome, Sergey Razov, for urgent talks with the ministry's top civil servant. 
The arrest comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions between Moscow and the West, notably over the jailing of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, a move which triggered EU sanctions against senior Russian officials.

B&amp;H Defense Minister Sifet Podžić and Chinese Ambassador to B&amp;H Ji Ping today signed certificates on handover of engineering machines and vehicles by the Chinese Ministry of Defense to the B&amp;H Armed Forces at the barracks in Rajlovac.

These are six unloading trucks, three backhoe loaders, two tractors with a low-loader semi-trailer, two trucks with a loading crane, a bulldozer and a compact excavator.
-It is a great pleasure for me to attend the handover of a donation worth 10 million yuan, which was provided by the Ministry of Defense of China for the Armed Forces of B&amp;H. This is a non-refundable aid that China provides to B&amp;H. I hope that the new equipment will contribute to an additional increase in the support capacity of the AF B&amp;H, which is expected to play a more significant role in social construction and civil protection and rescue- said Ambassador Ji Ping.
Taking over the donation and signing the certificate, said Minister Podžić, was preceded by the previously signed agreement between the Ministries of Defense of China and B&amp;H, in the amount of 2.5 million KM.
-This equipment will be of great importance primarily in performing one of our missions, and that is to help civilian authorities in responding to natural and other disasters and accidents, as well as to perform other regular tasks of the Armed Forces. Therefore, I express my immense gratitude for China's continued engagement in helping the citizens of B&amp;H to ensure a brighter future for all of us- Podžić pointed out.

Russia announced Wednesday it had registered what it said was the world's first coronavirus vaccine for animals, describing the step as important to disrupting mutations.

It said mass production of the vaccine could begin in April.
The agriculture oversight agency Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement that the vaccine called Carnivak-Cov had been tested beginning October on dogs, cats, mink, foxes and other animals and was proven to be effective.
-All test animals that were vaccinated developed antibodies to coronavirus in 100 percent of cases- said Konstantin Savenkov, deputy head of Rosselkhoznadzor.
-It is the world’s first and only product for preventing Covid-19 in animals- he said.
Rosselkhoznadzor said the development of its shot would help prevent mutations in animals and cited Denmark's decision to cull 15 million mink last year after some were found to be carrying a mutated virus variant.
-The use of the vaccine, according to Russian scientists, can prevent the development of virus mutations- the statement said.
The agency added that animal-breeding facilities and private companies from countries including Greece, Poland, Austria, the United States, Canada and Singapore had expressed interest in Carnivak-Cov.
Military officials in Russia's second city Saint Petersburg announced earlier this week that army dogs would undergo mandatory vaccination before being deployed at airports and participating in nationwide World War II commemorations in May.
Russia has heavily promoted its state-sponsored coronavirus vaccine abroad but it has been met with scepticism in the West and even by many in Russia.
Officials registered the Sputnik V vaccine last August, ahead of large-scale clinical trials, sparking concern among many experts over the fast-track process. It has since registered two more vaccines.
Leading medical journal The Lancet has since confirmed Sputnik V to be safe and over 90 percent effective. 
Moscow has applied to Europe's medicines regulator to gain approval for the use of Sputnik V in the 27-nation bloc, but is still waiting for an answer.

The Government of Malaysia held a session today and made a decision to send 50,000 vaccines against COVID-19 for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

These are vaccines from Chinese manufacturers, and Director of Bosnia Bank International (BBI), Amer Bukvić, was significantly engaged in the realization of this process.
