It is evident that the judgment in Kovačević vs Bosnia and Herzegovina is not only significant for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the restoration of democracy within the country but also has a much broader scope, effectively safeguarding democracy across Europe. Its confirmation in favour of the applicant, Kovačević, would undoubtedly affirm practices rooted in European democratic principles and task Bosnia and Herzegovina to embrace a democratic mindset and reorganise itself in line with European standards.

Trump has been given a mandate by the American people to change the course of U.S. foreign policy, and there is little doubt that this time he feels more assured in pursuing his bold and sometimes volatile ambitions. With his unique vision and unconventional style, Trump may well achieve a great deal. However, if he succeeds in restoring the United States to “greatness,” true to his slogan “Make America Great Again,” this greatness will inevitably come at a high cost to international relations.

Macedonian-Bulgarian relations must be built on mutual reciprocity. The inclusion of Bulgarians in the Macedonian constitution and Macedonians in the Bulgarian constitution would be a step in the right direction. The EU is making a mistake and engaging in clear discrimination against Macedonia by aligning itself with Bulgaria. Bulgaria must end its humiliating treatment of Macedonia. History should not be held hostage by retrospective nationalism.

Considering the nuclear rhetoric emanating from Iranian political space and the saga of ineffective and delayed retaliation reflecting its strategic quagmire among regional allies and the Axis’, the atomic option appears to be its last resort. As political hardliners begin to question the effectiveness of forward defence, Tehran seems to be exploring all avenues in its quest to deter Israeli tactical manoeuvres credibly.

We are at a point where a possible escalation or war between Iran and Israel looms, with dangers not only for peace and stability in the Middle East but also with the potential to spread through its intersection with the war in Ukraine and other events that could be triggered by state and supranational forces towards a Third World War, which many authors believe has already begun.

Israelis and Palestinians have become increasingly intertwined, making territorial separation virtually impossible. Whatever the outcome of the escalation or a future war between Iran and Israel, the root cause of the conflict will remain—the Palestinian issue. There is no doubt that peace and stability in the Middle East, which would ensure safety and security for the region’s countries and peoples, as well as for Israel and the Jewish people, begins with the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The Middle East, in the form of Israel and now in Lebanon, and Ukraine dominate the news, but they are not the only countries where there are problems. There are a number of other countries, where there is trouble if not internal conflict for a variety of reasons, which have resulted in significant migrations – Somalia, Myanmar, some other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, S. America, etc. There are many distressed citizens who are fleeing poverty, or just to seek a better life.

Local elections transcend their usual scope and represent a critical test for the Troika, SNSD, and HDZBiH. Voters will have the chance to evaluate their performance, provided they can make choices independently and without external pressures.Substantial amounts of both public and questionable funds have been funnelled into the electoral process, potentially influencing the final results. BiH’s political elites live in a parallel reality, that voters have not yet effectively challenged in past elections.

Analysts suggest that a “special war” is being waged against Serbia with the ultimate goal of removing Aleksandar Vučić from power through undemocratic means, despite Serbia being at the peak of its economic development. Therefore, the “Jadar” project should not be leveraged as a tool in this “special war” against Serbia. At the same time, Serbia must pay closer attention to and focus on certain ”friendly” countries that are participating in this “special war"”against it.

No scenario can predict the collapse/capitulation of the Taliban regime or the potency of a civil war in years to come. As international support for anti-Taliban resistance groups fosters, the authors predict the Taliban regime to remain in power in the near foreseeable future. Although the presence of New Delhi in Kabul is widely appreciated by roughly all Taliban ranks, sustained engagement with the Taliban via regional dialogue could keep a check on the Taliban’s governance in the country.
