B&amp;H Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik said that the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina supported the agreement between the B&amp;H Council of Ministers and the Turkish Government on cooperation in the field of infrastructure at today's session.

He reminded that the members of the Presidency will visit Ankara on March 16, where the mentioned agreement will be signed.
-We also held consultations with the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Zoran Tegeltija, on the budget and decided to return the draft to the Council of Ministers because it does not contain items on the fight against the pandemic that must be included- said Dodik.
He pointed out that the Armed Forces of B&amp;H will not be deployed at the borders, especially not at the border with Serbia, and that this item was removed from the agenda of the session.
Dodik stated that the fight against illegal migration must be conducted in another way, and not by establishing a wall between B&amp;H and Serbia.

The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has selected two companies to procure coronavirus vaccines, these are MGM Kakanj and Krajina Group.

In both cases, it is the Russian vaccine Sputnik V. The price of the dose is 17 euros, and the procurement contract with these two companies will be signed within four to five days, said the FB&amp;H Prime Minister Fadil Novalić at a press conference today.
At today's session, the FB&amp;H Government issued an order (instead of a recommendation) to the cantons to tighten epidemiological measures in accordance with the number of patients and the number of hospitalized persons with Covid-19.
Presenting the results of the work of the ad hoc commission for the procurement of vaccines, Novalić said that the commission sent a letter of intent to the addresses of 41 companies and that it received responses from seven or eight of them.
When choosing a supplier, the first criterion was the speed of procurement, and the second was the price. Given that the price of all offers was around 17 euros, preference was given to companies that promised the fastest delivery.
-We chose these two companies to do the job. One is the one that offers the fastest procurement. This is MGM Kakanj. It is a period of three days from the submitting of the letter of credit, and the same can be activated upon signing of the contract. The second company is Krajinagroup, which has direct communication with the Russian fund for Sputnik V, but they will need more time- said Novalić.
The vaccine will be procured in several contingents, provided that the first contingent must contain at least 100,000 doses.
Novalić added that the vaccines will be paid for after they are registered with the Medicines Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We have secured from the FB&amp;H budget the amount of 12 million KM for the purchase of vaccines, which is enough for about 350,000 doses, Novalić added.
At today's session, the FB&amp;H Government issued an order to the cantonal authorities to tighten epidemiological measures in accordance with their epidemiological situation.
-This time we no longer give recommendations to the cantons, but we order them to declare stricter measures in accordance with their epidemiological situation. The cantons must now monitor their epidemiological situation and, in accordance with the number of Covid positive individuals and the number of hospitalized, must declare more restrictive measures. Everything else remains the same, a limit of 30 people in a closed space, mandatory wearing of masks and other measures- said the FB&amp;H Minister of Health Vjekoslav Mandić.

The price of the dose is 17 euros and the procurement contract with MGM Kakanj and Krajina Group will be signed within four to five days

Delegations of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) and the Croat Democratic Union (HDZ) B&amp;H today discussed Bosnia and Herzegovina's European path and meeting 14 priorities from the European Commission's Opinion, that are required to obtain candidate status for membership in the European Union.

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the B&amp;H Parliamentary Assembly and SDA Vice President Denis Zvizdić said that the meeting was constructive and that it expressed commitment to European integration and work on priorities that he believes need to be met in order for B&amp;H to show serious credibility in its application for EU membership.
He points out that he would not set a date when the eagerly awaited candidate status for membership could be obtained, but his position is that as many positive steps as possible should be taken along that path and that as many laws as possible should be adopted in order to achieve the status.
He confirmed that some of them have been implemented, and for some there is agreement, and that the law on public procurement and the law on conflict of interest should be adopted in the parliamentary procedure by the end of May, which will be in line with European practices, but also to start judicial reform.
-The Law on the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) and the Rulebook on the Integrity of Judges and Prosecutors would be important issues- Zvizdić added.
He announced that they would continue working on other recommendations, such as a ban on hate speech and the fight against torture and violence against women, but added that the meeting was the beginning of finalizing the phase needed for B&amp;H to obtain candidate status.
He also says that the participation of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) and representatives of other parliamentary political parties is expected, because, Zvizdić notes, European integration along with NATO integration is a key foreign policy priority to which B&amp;H should remain committed.
He also commented on the work of the B&amp;H Council of Ministers, assessing that the executive body does not send a sufficient number of laws to the parliamentary procedure, noting that this would be a better practice because then the laws would have a better chance of being adopted in the parliamentary procedure and expressed hope that this would not be the case this year when as many laws as possible should be adopted.

An additional 5,000 doses of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine will arrive in the Federation of B&amp;H tomorrow as a donation from the Republic of Serbia, confirmed the B&amp;H Ministry of Civil Affairs for FENA.

According to the Ministry, the vaccine will be intended to vaccinate health workers in the Federation of B&amp;H.
In addition, another 10,000 doses of vaccines are expected to be delivered from Serbia soon, which will be used for revaccination of those medical workers who will be vaccinated with the first dose.

France will try out a Covid-free status digital pass for air travellers with flag carrier Air France starting a month-long trial for some flights, Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said Thursday.

Airlines battered by travel restrictions are pushing hard for a global standard that would reassure passengers over contagion risks onboard and accelerate an eventual recovery for the sector.
For Air France flights to the French Caribbean territories of Martinique and Guadeloupe, passengers will have to present a phone app that shows either a vaccination certificate or a recent negative Covid test.
The system would require partnerships with testing facilities that would provide the digital proof.
-The goal is to see if it works well in real-time" by reducing checks that are drastically slowing boarding and arrival procedures- Djebbari told RMC radio.
-It could offer a preview, or at least a large-scale test, of a future 'travel pass'" that would "ensure against fraud and shorten waiting lines,"- he said.
He did not specify if Air France would use a system being developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which is being tested by several international carriers.
But for now, the travel pass does not foreshadow a broader Covid vaccination requirement for travel or other activities, such as going to restaurants or the cinema, Djebbari said.

Johnson &amp; Johnson's single-dose Covid-19 shot is expected to be authorized by the European Union on Thursday, the bloc's fourth vaccine in the fight to end its chapter of the pandemic.&nbsp;Here's what you need to know.

Perhaps the most important figure to be aware of is "zero." 

That's how many people have died from Covid-19 after receiving the shot in a massive global trial of 40,000 people, compared to seven who got the placebo.
Overall, the vaccine prevented moderate to severe Covid-19 by 66.1 percent 28 days after the shot, but this rose to 85.4 percent when considering only severe disease.
What makes it most striking was that the good results against severe disease held up in both South Africa and Brazil, where concerning variants were dominant during the trial period.
In terms of safety, an analysis of 44,000 people showed it was generally well tolerated, with typical side-effects like injection-site pain, headache, fatigue and muscle pains.
There has been at least one case of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) reported -- and such reactions have also been recorded for other Covid-19 vaccines in rare instances.
Documents shared by the US Food and Drug Administration, which has already given the shot emergency approval, showed a handful of cases where people who took the vaccine had developed hives.
The FDA also said long-term monitoring was needed to determine whether the vaccine was linked to a small number of cases of potentially dangerous clotting, and to tinnitus (ear ringing).

<h2>How does it compare to other authorized vaccines?</h2>

The Pfizer and Moderna RNA-based vaccines were shown to have efficacies of around 95 percent against all forms of Covid-19 -- but it's still hard to make a direct comparison. 

That's because their clinical trials took place before newer variants, some of which have been shown to be less susceptible to current vaccines, were well established.
The RNA vaccines probably still have an edge, but the J&amp;J vaccine brings important logistical advantages to the table. 
It requires only one shot and can be kept long term in refrigerators, rather than freezers -- especially important for developing countries.
Though there's been one reported case of anaphylaxis, the suspicion is it will cause fewer such reactions because of the way the vaccine is formulated.

The J&amp;J vaccine uses a common-cold causing adenovirus, which has been genetically modified so that it can't replicate, to carry the gene for a key part of the coronavirus. 

The part is known as the "spike protein" and it's what gives the virus its crown-like appearance.
The vaccine delivers the instructions to make this protein to human cells, and our immune systems then develop antibodies against it, preventing the virus from invading cells.
Apart from antibodies, the vaccine also elicits the production of immune T cells, which kill infected cells and help make more antibodies.
J&amp;J's shot is known as an "adenovirus vector vaccine" and the company previously produced a European Union-approved Ebola vaccine using the same technology.
Oxford-AstraZeneca and Sputnik's shots are both adenovirus vector vaccines, too. 
They all use double-stranded DNA molecules to carry genetic instructions, rather than single-stranded RNA used by Pfizer and Moderna. 
DNA is more rugged, which allows these vaccines to be stored at warmer temperatures.

J&amp;J is moving ahead meanwhile with clinical testing for children and pregnant women soon.

While the J&amp;J vaccine so far has been single-dose, the company is also testing a two-dose regimen to see if it provokes a better response. 
But RNA vaccines might have the edge over adenovirus vaccines when it comes to boosters. 
Some scientists have raised concerns that the immune system will recognize and attack adenoviruses it has previously encountered, which in turn reduces the second shot's efficacy.
This could become particularly important as makers look to develop variant-specific vaccines, since the adenovirus vaccine makers might need to find new vectors.

Fahrudin Radončić, president of the Alliance for Better Future (SBB), posted a reaction on his Facebook profile to events in the NARS and statements by Milorad Dodik, chairman of the B&amp;H Presidency and SNSD leader, about the RS referendum and secession.
You can read his full status below: 
- For years, Milorad Dodik has been trying to hide all his problems and responsibility towards the citizens by waving a propaganda separatist flag.
B&amp;H patriotism, civilization standards and principles are incomparably stronger and more dominant than its medieval nationalist harassment and intimidation of all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This political-propaganda story has been seen and read several times.
A new blemish in the old way. Or, popularly speaking, tt’s just a wishful thinking - Radončić wrote.

Members of the Operational Group for Coordination of Activities and Monitoring of the Migrant Situation in the Una-Sana Canton confirmed the increased influx of migrants and refugees to that part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Reception centers in Bihać, Velika Kladuša and Cazin can accommodate up to 2,500 people, so that currently a large number of people stay in public areas and in abandoned buildings without any control.
-Today, we certainly have about 1,500 migrants on the streets and in abandoned buildings, which is a big security and health-epidemiological issue for us. That is why we asked for help from the competent state institutions, because the capacities of all the local reception camps have been filled or have long been exceeded. For example, it is planned to accommodate 700 people in the reception center Miral but there are about 950 of them at the moment- said the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Una-Sana Canton, Nermin Kljajić.
Once again, an appeal was sent for the opening of reception camps outside the Una-Sana Canton, i.e. the relocation of people who cannot be adequately accommodated in Bihać and Velika Kladuša.
It was also confirmed that the inspectors of the Cantonal Administration for Inspection Supervision, in cooperation with the members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USC, will perform an intensified control of renting private accommodation to persons residing illegally in the state or canton as of today.
Due to the observance of health-epidemiological measures and recommendations, a decision was made on strict control of movement and reduced exit of migrants and refugees who are accommodated in the temporary reception centers "Borići" in Bihać and "Sedra" in Cazin.

Representatives of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) and the Croat Democratic Union (HDZ B&amp;H), led by party leaders Bakir Izetbegović and Dragan Čović, discussed last night in Sarajevo the possibilities of amending the B&amp;H Election Law and issues related to the Federation of B&amp;H.

As it was said after the meeting, the two groups worked in parallel, one on the issues of the Federation of B&amp;H, the establishment of a new structure of government at the FB&amp;H level and the accumulated problems in the Federation of B&amp;H.
The second group discussed the possibilities of amending the B&amp;H Election Law, i.e. the implementation of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the B&amp;H Constitutional Court.
SDA President Bakir Izetbegović said that he also had a conversation with the United States Special Representative for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer in the meantime, who also met with HDZ B&amp;H leader Dragan Čović and expressed support for “meaningful electoral reform” in B&amp;H, which must include “limited constitutional reform.”
-They insist on the establishment of an inter-ministerial working group that will do this job and only two parties are working on it at the moment. Palmer insisted that an urgent session of the joint Collegium of the two houses of the B&amp;H Parliamentary Assembly be held, and that an inter-ministerial working group be established. I asked him if that meant waiting for meetings, then expanding it. He answered that they expect us to continue working and to define the outlines of the solution- said Izetbegović.
Speaking about the meetings of SDA and HDZ B&amp;H, he stated that they are trying to harmonize two principles that this country is grounded on and the way it is functioning – the civil and ethnic principles.
Asked if there is anything new after today's meeting, the SDA president answered in the affirmative, emphasizing that HDZ understands "that we will not be able to do it without constitutional changes, certain minor changes in terms of amendments and that we will not be able to do it in the Federation of B&amp;H or at the state level."
According to him, international representatives also said that it will not go that way.
-They insist that the CEC representatives be included in that inter-ministerial working group. There are some changes- says Izetbegović.
As for the FB&amp;H level, he said they would try to establish a new structure.
HDZ B&amp;H President Dragan Čović said that two inter-party teams were working yesterday - one concerned the FB&amp;H level of government and all the problems that have been opened between the two parties in the last few years, which they have failed to solve. The second team worked on the election legislation, and today there should be a continuation of work on 14 priorities when it comes to the candidate status of B&amp;H.
It seems to me, he stated, that we have somehow completed that first phase last night.
Speaking about the B&amp;H Election Law, the Presidency and the House of Peoples, he said that bodies that could help them would be involved, and that "in one phase, at the beginning of the fifth month, all other parliamentary parties interested in that would be involved, to find a solution".
He added that he believes that the solutions they offered some time ago to both international representatives and the SDA will get a response from the SDA very soon.

Ten years ago, on March 11, 2011, Japan experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake. This was an unprecedented natural disaster that included earthquake and tsunami, which devastated Tohoku region of my country and was further complicated by severe damage to the nuclear power plant in Fukushima. The scale of the disaster and extent of the damage were overwhelming. 
Nearly 16, 000 people were lost and more than 2,000 are still counted as missing. In the face of that, our friends from around the world, as well as from Bosnia and Herzegovina, stepped up with warm and heartfelt assistance. 
People in B&amp;H showed great compassion, generosity and friendship.

I have learned that we had received a great number of donations from the government and local authorities of B&amp;H, as well as private organizations and friends of Japan in B&amp;H. Countless number of kind letters, encouriging messages and drawings from school chlidren have been sent to us. Many citizens of Sarajevo, including Judo Federation members visited our Embassy office for several days since the great eartquake, with flowers and candles.

We have been so encouraged by these acts of solidarity and friendship from B&amp;H people.
As the Ambassador of Japan, I hereby would like to convey again our most sincere thanks to the people and to the Government authorities of BiH for their kind support and valuable assistance during that time of need in Japan.
We will never forget.

Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and leader of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) Milorad Dodik reiterated today his long-standing views on the need to abolish the Office of the High Representative (OHR).

A special session of the RS National Assembly is being held in Banja Luka today to discuss only one item on the agenda: "Assessment of the work of the High Representative, application of Annex 10 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in B&amp;H / Dayton Agreement / during the talks on appointing a new High Representative" at the suggestion of Dodik.
In his address, he mentioned that the representatives of the international community, and especially the European Union and the United States of America, mostly talk about the rule of law and most often violate it, which, as he added, shows the actions of the High Representative.
He pointed out that it is unacceptable for him to discuss the fate of B&amp;H from a distance, where, as he said, the nature of the problem could not be seen.
-The Bosniak political elite has been holding the people captive for 26 years, talking about the change of the Constitution which abolishes the genocidal creation of RS, and they cannot make compromises by accepting the transfer of competencies or abolition- he added.
He says that such a practice leads to the dissolution of B&amp;H and destroys the chance for a stable B&amp;H, and that there is no need for a policy of force, imposition and interference in the internal affairs of B&amp;H if a state that aspires to be stable and a member of the European Union is built.
He assessed that it is extremely important for the RSNA to get acquainted with all aspects of the extension of the mandate of the High Representative, and now there are two candidates. He underlined that Republic of Srpska had not requested or wanted the arrival of a new High Representative and that according to Annex 10, the arrival of a new High Representative required confirmation from the RS, which he had not received.

More than 1,000 students kept up protests on Wednesday in the Greek capital after evening clashes with security forces over bitter allegations of police violence.

The authorities reported 10 officers were hurt on Tuesday evening -- one with serious head injuries -- and 16 people were arrested on the sidelines of a demonstration by some 5,000 people.
Two hundred hooded protesters threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at a police station in the Nea Smyrni suburb, AFP reported.
Police responded with tear gas and water cannon, and in a statement said the badly injured officer had been dragged off his motorbike and beaten.
Those arrested would be brought to court later Wednesday on charges including attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, and arson, police said.
The protests follow months of anger in the Greek media and among campaigners over numerous high-profile cases of alleged police brutality at student and left-wing protests.
Uproar erupted after a video went viral showing an officer beating a man with a baton Sunday during a patrol to enforce a coronavirus lockdown.
His screams of "I'm in pain" have become a hashtag on social networks.
The officer accused of the beating has been suspended, police sources said, and an inquiry opened.
Police said 1,000 students were on the streets Wednesday afternoon, but an AFP reporter estimated the numbers at double that figure.
-Repression will not win- read one banner at the protest called specifically against the setting up of a university police force.
Government spokesperson Aristolelia Peloni accused left-wing opposition party Syriza of "stoking the tensions" and "irresponsibility" at an already difficult time under the pandemic.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged people to ensure that "the sad images of violence that we have seen in Athens this (Tuesday) evening are the last".
-I will not allow anyone to divide us- he said.
Athens residents are under stay-at-home orders -- with only essential trips allowed -- in a bid to tame the coronavirus, which has claimed some 6,800 lives in Greece.&nbsp;
