Germany on Monday condemned the coup attempt in Sudan and urged the country’s military to respect the peaceful transition process towards democracy.

- Reports of another coup attempt in Sudan is disturbing, this attempt must be clearly condemned - German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement.
He called on the country’s security forces to return to their barracks immediately.
- I call on all those responsible for the security and the state order in Sudan to respect the will of the people, continue the peaceful political transition process towards democracy. This attempted coup must be stopped immediately - he said.
Maas also called on Sudan’s political leaders to resolve their differences through peaceful dialogue.
- They owe this to the people of Sudan who fought for an end to the dictatorship and for democratic change - he said.
Sudan's military arrested the country's prime minister and members of the civilian government, officials in the capital Khartoum announced early Monday.
The Ministry of Culture and Information’s official account said the military arrested Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok after he refused to support what it described as a "coup".
After a failed military coup last month, deep tensions between the military and civilian administration erupted in Sudan.
The country is currently administered by a Sovereign Council of military and civilian authorities, which oversees the transition period until elections slated for 2023, as part of a precarious power-sharing pact between the military and the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition.

Head of the SDP caucus in the B&amp;H Parliament and a member of the International Parliamentary Alliance against Hate Speech, Saša Magazinović, addressed a conference in Paris today focusing on growing populism and radical right-wing movements using xenophobia, racism and intolerance as a tool of political strengthening. 

- Bosnia and Herzegovina is on the verge of escalation due to a politician who, among other things, uses hate speech. His name is Milorad Dodik and he is a member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is a man who denies the genocide in Srebrenica, attacks the religious identity of citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina, insults journalists and political opponents… He is a man who blocked state institutions because of the High Representative's decision to ban genocide denial. This is the man who brought the country to the brink of war. Why is this happening? Because he was not stopped in time and, above all, the international community in Bosnia and Herzegovina tolerated it and even often chose him as a partner. My message from B&amp;H is that any radicalism should be prevented from happening because if it is not done, the consequences can be tragic - said Magazinović.
He called on all governments to pay attention to Bosnia and Herzegovina and support harsh sanctions against Milorad Dodik, a man who destabilizes B&amp;H. 
- Remember, if a conflict occurs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it will spread to the entire Balkans, and it will not only be the responsibility of radicals like Dodik, but also of all of us in Europe who did not prevent it, and could. There is still a chance that this will be done - Magazinović emphasized in his address.
The conference was organized by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the Swedish Parliament. The conference participants are representatives of Council of Europe member states, EU Equality Commissioner Helena Dalli, UN representatives, ministers, journalists, NGO representatives, the SDP B&amp;H said.&nbsp;

The European Union is mulling new sanctions against Belarus, while it reaches out to countries of origin to stop state-sponsored smuggling of migrants, the head of the European Commission said on Friday.

The topic of migration was an important point of discussion during the EU summit, Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, confirmed after the two-day meeting of EU leaders.
- The European Council will not accept any attempt by third countries to instrumentalize migrants for political purposes - the EU leaders pointed out in the summit’s official conclusions.
The leaders also condemned “all hybrid attacks at the EU’s borders” and promised a response in the closing document.
- We have already proposed targeted measures to reverse visa facilitation for the regime and its proxies, and we are ready to explore options for further sanctions, not only for individuals, but also for entities or companies - Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, told reporters after the summit.
- No one's life should be used for political issues. This is an instrumentalization of migration to put political pressure on the European Union - she noted.
Calling the migrants trying to enter the bloc’s borders with Belarus “victims of Lukashenko,” von der Leyen explained that Belarus had opened new migration routes to Europe by offering “further visa waivers to additional third countries.”
- We will continue our engagement with these countries to limit this state-sponsored smuggling - she added.
Von der Leyen also said the European Commission would soon review the Schengen code, the regulation on the bloc's borders, to add provisions on hybrid attacks and instrumentalization of people.
She urged EU countries to adopt the new pact on migration and asylum proposed by the EU executive body last year.
Last week, twelve EU states, including Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania, asked the European Commission to toughen security at the bloc's internal borders in a joint letter.
The signatories called EU budgetary support to set up physical barriers, and refused “instrumentalization of illegal migration.”
The bloc accuses Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of having invited tourists from countries that are the main sources of migration to the EU in order to revenge EU sanctions against his regime.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell agreed with Iraqi authorities to permanently stop flights from Baghdad to Minsk during his visit to Iraq last month.
At least 6,000 migrants tried to cross the Belarus-EU border compared to barely 150 last year.

In the continuation of the trial of the Prime Minister of the Federation of B&amp;H Fadil Novalić and others, accused of procuring a hundred Chinese ventilators for 10.5 million KM, the questioning of witness Edita Kalajdžić, Secretary of the Government of FB&amp;H, ended today.

<h2>The deadline for delivery of ventilators was not met</h2>

Prosecutor Mirza Hukeljić showed Edita Kalajdžić a message from the Viber group GENSEK sent to her by Novalić, stating: "You have to react quickly for 150,000 tests, because someone will buy them. I said that they sould reserve them for us and I talked to Solak. We don't have any time to waste ".
When asked by prosecutor Hukeljić whether she had knowledge of who the undisputed sender was and whether it was Sebija (Izetbegović, Op. Cit.), she answered: "I have no knowledge".
After that, the defense was questioned, and Judge Džemila Begović occasionally got involved.
Speaking about the decision of the FB&amp;H Government to approve FCPA funds for the procurement of medical devices and equipment, the witness confirmed that on March 16, 2020, a decision was made at an emergency session on the procurement of medical equipment, especially ventilators.
Judge Begović asked Edita Kalajdžić how it is possible for the FB&amp;H Government to issue funds without knowing exactly for what, because the witness said that the funds were set aside for the purchase of medical equipment, without stating the exact type of equipment. Kalajdžić gave the answer to that: "It is a question of procurement of medical devices".
At today's hearing, Kalajdžić was also asked why she asked the GENSEK group to terminate her contract with "Silver Raspberry", after the affair broke out in the media after the arrival of the ventilators in Sarajevo.
She replied that as a lawyer she saw that the deadline for the delivery of ventilators had not been met and that she knew nothing about their purchase, and after finding out later, she determined that "this is not exactly how the media portrayed it and that it is all journalistic spin ".
Judge Džemila Begović asked Kalajdžić, who had previously said that the FB&amp;H government was under pressure to terminate the contract with "Silver Raspberry", what kind of pressure it was. Kalajdžić did not give a concrete answer to that, except that she reiterated that she stated that the deadline for delivery was not met and that the FB&amp;H Government sought the opinion of the Attorney General's Office on the termination of the contract with "Silver Raspberry".
Novalić asked Edita Kalajdžić about the response of the Attorney General's Office, and she said that the Attorney General's Office replied that the contract could be terminated only by the body that signed it, and that it was not the FB&amp;H Government.
Answering the questions of Vasvija Vidović, Kalajdžić said that the FCPA is an independent body and that it can deal with procurement without the approval of the FB&amp;H Government.
Kalajdžić confirmed to lawyer Mirna Avdibegović, who represents Fikret Hodžić, that she did not know that "Silver Raspberry" informed FCPA that there would be a delay in the delivery of ventilators due to changes in the import of medical devices in Europe.

At today's hearing, Prosecutor Mirza Hukeljić confirmed that the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H has initiated an investigation into the criminal offense of "Assistance to the Perpetrator after the Criminal Offense", and concerns Edita Kalajdžić's allegation that her mobile phone, which was confiscated from her and deposited with the Prosecutor's Office, was used during the investigation and after the trial began.
Kalajdžić stated that her friends received messages from her phone, and even a colleague once brought her mobile phone and showed that she had a call from Edita's mobile phone. Kalajdžić now has another number, and she said today that at the beginning of the trial she received a message that huge problems would follow for her in the coming period.
The witness also complained about the treatment during the investigation, claiming that the prosecutors had raised tones, that they bang the doors and punched the table with their hands, and that Hukeljić threw his phone. She said that she was asked to confirm what Ganibegović said.
However, when asked by Judge Džemila Begović if she said anything in the investigation that she did not want to, Kalajdžić answered that she did not.
The trial is due to continue on November 3.

When asked by prosecutor Mirza Hukeljić whether Sebija sent this message, witness Edita Kalajdžić replied that she did not know

Who sent the message to Novalić: "You have to react quickly for 150,000 tests, because someone will buy them"

Members of the delegation of the Social Democratic Party of B&amp;H (SDP B&amp;H) talked with the EU Special Representative in B&amp;H Ambassador Johann Sattler and underlined that it is high time for the international community to move from words to deeds when it comes to the current crisis and the unconstitutional actions of Milorad Dodik and the organized group around him.

According to the press release, the general assessment of the SDP B&amp;H is that the constitutional order of B&amp;H is endangered and that it is high time for a decisive reaction from the authorized representatives of the international community and domestic authorities.
The interlocutors agree that this is a crisis situation in which it is necessary to take concrete steps.
They stated that the violation of the Dayton Peace Agreement and the Constitution of B&amp;H is an inadmissible act and that everyone who moves in that direction will bear the most serious criminal sanctions.
Sattler's message is encouraging that the EU does not have a Plan B for B&amp;H when it comes to preserving the integrity and sovereignty of B&amp;H.

We will see whether they will run away or not - said Memić.

George Papandreou, former prime minister of Greece, is planning a political comeback as he joins the race to become the next leader of the Movement for Change (KINAL) party.

Announcing his candidacy in a televised statement on Wednesday evening, Papandreou vowed to make the center-left party “big and strong again.”
- We need to give to our citizens and our country a new chance. That is why this party must rise again - Papandreou said, asserting that he will do all in his power to make KINAL a leading actor in Greek politics.
A scion of an eminent political family, Papandreou served as the country’s 182nd prime minister from October 2009 to November 2011, when he resigned as Greece faced one of its worst financial crises.
The 69-year-old previously had stints as minister of education and foreign affairs during the governments of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) party, which was founded by his father and former Greek Premier Andreas Papandreou.
Founded as a coalition of center-left parties in 2018, KINAL currently comprises PASOK and the Movement of Democratic Socialists (KIDISO), which was formed in 2015 by a group of parliamentarians led by Papandreou who broke away from PASOK.
KINAL currently holds 22 seats and is part of the opposition in the 300-member Greek Parliament.
Papandreou is regarded as a moderate politician because of his stance in favor of rapprochement between Greece and Turkey in the late 1990s, as well as his support for Ankara’s efforts to join the European Union.
He declared his bid to become leader of KINAL after speaking to Fofi Gennimata, the incumbent party head who is stepping down due to health reasons after she was hospitalized on Oct. 12.
Apart from Papandreou, there are six more candidates vying for the position: Pavlos Geroulanos, former culture and tourism minister from 2009 to 2012; KINAL spokesman Pavlos Christides; Haris Kastanidis, former justice and interior minister; Vassilis Kegeroglou, former deputy minister for labor; Andreas Loverdos, former minister of education and a law professor; and Nikos Androulakis, former secretary of Pasok and a member of the European Parliament.
Kegeroglou has indicated he might withdraw from the race to support Papandreou, according to Greek daily Kathimerini.
The first round of the party elections is set for Dec. 5, with a second ballot to follow a week later if no one secures a majority. ​​​​​​​

The school, gas station, supermarket, bank and the homes of hundreds of residents of the town of La Laguna were swallowed on Thursday by lava as the volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma continues to erupt.

As of Thursday afternoon, the unstoppable wall of black lava had made its way into the town’s main square.
Less than one month ago, the same plaza was filled with hope, as the Spanish king and queen met with residents there to show their support.
Now, the lava, which scientists say has reached temperatures higher than 1,000 degrees Celcius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit), is just meters away from overtaking the town’s church.
The nearby villages of El Paraiso, Todoque and El Pedregal have already been completely wiped out by the volcano.
According to data released by the Copernicus satellite on Thursday, the lava flow has swallowed 866 hectares (2,134 acres) of land and destroyed 2,185 buildings.
More than one-tenth of those buildings were taken out over the last two days.
Although the volcano started erupting 33 days ago, experts say it shows no signs of stopping or slowing down.
On Thursday, seismic activity slightly increased, with more than 100 earthquakes reported in 24 hours.
Overnight, another 500 residents were evacuated from their homes in towns to the north of La Laguna.
A total of around 7,500 of the island’s 85,000 residents have now been forced to leave their homes.
“Until yesterday, I didn’t think that this area was in danger. But the volcano is erratic and anything can happen,” Lisa, one of the evacuated residents who was scrambling to grab her most important belongings from her home, told Spanish broadcaster Antena 3.

A booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was found to be 95.6% effective against COVID-19, the companies announced on Thursday.

The result is from a large Phase 3 trial “with more than 10,000 participants 16 years of age and older” that was conducted “during a period when Delta was the prevalent strain.”
- In the trial, a booster dose administered to individuals who previously received the Pfizer-BioNTech primary two-dose series restored vaccine protection against COVID-19 to the high levels achieved after the second dose, showing a relative vaccine efficacy of 95.6% when compared to those who did not receive a booster - read a joint statement.
Some 55.5% of the participants were between 16 and 55 years, while 23.3% were 65 years and older.
They randomly received a 30-microgram vaccine dose or a placebo, with the median time between a person’s second dose and the booster or placebo being approximately 11 months.
- Symptomatic COVID-19 occurrence was measured from at least 7 days after booster or placebo, with a median follow-up of 2.5 months. During the study period, there were 5 cases of COVID-19 in the boosted group, and 109 cases in the non-boosted group - the statement said.
The efficacy was consistent irrespective of age, sex, race, ethnicity, or comorbid conditions, it added.
Ugur Sahin, cofounder of BioNTech, said the data supports “evidence suggesting that a booster dose of our vaccine can help protect a broad population of people from this virus and its variants.”
- Based on these findings we believe that, in addition to broad global access to vaccines for everyone, booster vaccinations could play an important role in sustaining pandemic containment and a return to normalcy - he said.
The companies now plan to submit detailed results from the trial for peer-reviewed publication and share data with the US Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and other regulatory agencies around the world as soon as possible, the statement added.

Escobar expressed full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of B&amp;H, and that there is no constitutional possibility for the secession of the smaller B&amp;H entity. He condemned the announcement of the moves of the member of the Presidency of B&amp;H from the RS entities that lead to escalation.
Chairman Komšić, said that he would not fall for Dodik's provocations and that he strictly insisted only on the institutional response and the work of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H.

Chairman Komšić informed the US President's Special Envoy about the police exercise that will be held tomorrow in East Sarajevo, Doboj and Prijedor, in which the RS Ministry of the Interior and gendarmerie of the RS are participating, and that it is clear that this is another provocative move to create conflict, the B&amp;H Presidency said.

European Union leaders gather in Brussels on Thursday for a two-day summit that will focus on questions of rule of law, energy prices, migration, and the bloc’s relations with Russia.

The heads of states and governments will start by discussing rising energy prices that are “challenging the post-pandemic recovery and severely affecting our citizens and businesses,” European Council President Charles Michel wrote in his invitation letter.
Partially related to this point, they will also talk about the bloc’s green transition and its relations with major gas supplier Russia.
They will assess the COVID-19 situation too, including potential steps against vaccine hesitation and disinformation, as well as speeding up vaccine donations to countries in need.
Michel said the EU leaders will “also touch upon recent developments related to the Rule of Law,” an indirect reference to Poland’s row with Brussels over the supremacy of EU law.
The leaders will discuss the possible fallout of a recent ruling by Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal that questioned the primacy of EU law, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has branded as “a direct challenge to the unity of the European legal order.”
On Friday, the summit is expected to focus on migration and protection of the bloc’s external frontiers, including the rise of asylum seekers at the EU’s borders with Belarus.
The summit will be German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s 107th and last European Council meeting before she steps down after 16 years in power.

This morning, members of SIPA, on the order of the Municipal Court and the Prosecutor's Office of SC, started the search of the American University of B&amp;H, whose headquarter is in Tuzla, the "Avaz" portal has learned.
The owner of the American University is Denis Prcić, who was arrested two months ago on suspicion of issuing a forged diploma to Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, director of the B&amp;H Intelligence Security Agency (ISA).
SIPA is acting on a new report related to fraud and forgery of student documents of this educational institution. It is about the existence of grounds for suspicion that the director of the American University and other persons committed the criminal offenses "Fraud", "Special cases of forgery of documents", "Tax evasion" and "Money laundering".
Denis Prcić, we remind you, is suspected of aiding the perpetrator after the crime, abuse of position or authority and forgery of official documents, in connection with the issuance of an diploma from AU in B&amp;H to ISA Director Osman Mehmedagić, who is one of the suspects in this case, who was also arrested on the orders of the Prosecution.
However, other prohibitive measures are still in force for Prcić, such as a ban on meeting witnesses, a ban on visiting certain places and a ban on performing certain activities, and a travel ban.
But, as we find out, he violated one of the prohibition measures a few days ago, because he attacked a witness in a shopping center in Sarajevo. It is a person with the initials K.K. He later presented it as an attack on his own safety, although the cameras recorded what exactly happened.

We remind you that the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H has expanded the investigation to more persons because there is a high degree of reasonable suspicion that other diplomas of the American University in B&amp;H, which are used by employees in B&amp;H institutions, have been forged.
According to the information that „Avaz“ has, one of the forged diplomas was identified as a diploma from the American School of Public Administration, which is in the possession of Amina Pekić, the sister of Mehmedagić's close associate Muhamed Pekić.
Last week, she testified in the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, as a suspect, which is confirmed by photos from the scene. Pekić testified in the presence of her lawyer Jesenka Rešidović.
The Prosecution obtained information that there was no evidence of graduation in Pekić's personal file, but Bisera Turković and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, refused to forward the requested information to the Prosecutor's Office.
Her forged diploma was found in her apartment in Čengić Vila.
