- The Office of the High Representative and its Bonn powers, which made the office Bosnia’s ultimate authority, should be closed without delay as they damage the sovereignty of Bosnia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during his visit to Bosnia on Thursday. The closure of the office is one of the remaining key conditions Bosnia need to fulfil if it wants to move closer to the European Union.

- Bosnia's Muslim-Croat Federation government will discus a capital hike in Bosnian fuel retailer Energopetrol, controlled by Hungarian-Croatian consortium MOL/INA, next week, Finance Minister Vjekoslav Bevanda said. The government said last week it may cancel the privatisation of Energopetrol because MOL/INA has not met the sale conditions. The consortium has invested just six million marka out of 150 million marka it had pledged to.
