Love, Tobacco, and the Mafia
Every sixth representative elected to the Brčko District Assembly in the last elections has been convicted of a criminal offense. Most of them will now have the opportunity to question the work of the prosecutor’s office that indicted them, from their seats in the assembly.
A convicted drug dealer, a vote trafficker, and a forger will soon have the opportunity to judge the work of the Prosecutor’s Office in Brčko – the institution that has proven their criminal acts.

The spring season for the Premier Leagues in BiH football is over and opinion is mixed – some think the fairness and quality of the league are improving, while others say nothing has changed. Statistics show there is little change from previous seasons.
A Kakanj lawyer admits he took 5,000 KM from a client who secretly taped him saying the money was used to bribe a judge.
