German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas demanded on Wednesday that Russia respect foreign correspondents’ right to report after an official warned German journalists of possible reprisals in a tit-for-tat row.

Earlier this month, Russia’s foreign-facing state television station RT accused the German government of putting pressure on lenders, including Commerzbank, to close the bank account of its German office.
Germany has denied that while Commerzbank declined to comment on individual clients.
Russian-based German journalists were summoned to a video conference on Monday at which, according to a participant, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that Moscow would have to respond if Berlin did not back down over RT.
-Press freedom is not up for negotiation- Maas wrote on Twitter. -That is possible in Germany and it must be the case in Russia too.-The spat adds to strains between Russia and the West.
Though heavily dependent on Russia for energy imports, Germany has condemned the imprisonment of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who was arrested on his return from Germany after treatment for poisoning in Russia.
Showing the importance to Russia of the goodwill of Germany, a major buyer of its energy, RT last November promised a full German-language TV channel in addition to its current online selection of programmes.
Several countries, including the United States, have labelled RT state propaganda, while British regulators have repeatedly investigated it for breaches of impartiality rules.

Berlin warns Moscow: don't restrict our journalists

Commenting on the fact that Federal Government, under the pressure from the ad hoc commissions and the FB&amp;H Parliament, managed to agree on the procurement of the vaccine in a few days, and after six months of delay, SDP leader Nermin Nikšić told „Avaz“ that it had already become disgusting how much the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina show a lack of feeling, responsibility and concern for the health of citizens.

-Of course, the representatives of the same political parties are at the head of the Council of Ministers and the entity governments. However, this does not prevent the SNSD, SDA and HDZ from publicly arguing over who is responsible and why there are still no vaccines in Bosnia and Herzegovina, of course, except for those we received as alms. We had the opportunity to find out how Mr. Novalić (Fadil, op. cit.) as a citizen thinks that everything is too slow, but we do not know what he thinks as prime minister and how citizen Novalić would evaluate Prime Minister Novalić - says Nikšić.
He says it is unbelievable that the Council of Ministers and the entity governments cannot agree on measures to be introduced for the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
-The already proverbial lack of courage and responsibility in the Federal Government results in measures differing from canton to canton, which greatly reduces their effect despite the efforts of individual cantonal governments. . After ordering the Health Insurance Institute for two or three days to sign a contract for the supply of vaccines with two completely different suppliers, and since the director of the Health Insurance Institute did not do so, another supplier was found overnight,who apparently already has vaccines in the vaccine, to deliver 100,000 within three days, and it remains to be guessed what will happen to the remaining 400,000 - Nikšić wonders.

He points out that this is just a proof that the whole story about the law and the impossibility of procurement was not realistic.
- Time will show how realistic the procurement of all 500,000 vaccines is. I sincerely hope that this story will not end like the one about the purchase of respirators and that the speculations that have emerged as to where these 100,000 vaccines come from will not prove true.
At this moment, however, it is most important for that contingent of vaccines to come and for the mass vaccination of the population to finally start - Nikšić concludes.

It is disgusting how much the government in B&H shows a lack of care and responsibility for the health of citizens

Nikšić: Time will show how realistic the procurement of all 500,000 vaccines is

Nikšić for "Avaz": I sincerely hope that this story about the import of the first 100,000 vaccines will not end like the one about the purchase of respirators

Members of the Presidency of B&amp;H, Šefik Džaferović and Željko Komšić held a meeting today with representatives of the Committee on Foreign Cooperation of Turkey (DEIK).

After the meeting, Džaferović said that the topic was increasing the number of production investments from Turkey to B&amp;H, and improving the business environment when it comes to Turkish investors.
-In this regard, we have heard a number of important things that we will introduce to other institutions in B&amp;H, and we invited Turkish businesses to invest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The door will be wide open for them- said Džaferović.
During yesterday's visit to Ankara, a Memorandum was signed between the Agency for the Promotion of Foreign Investments in B&amp;H and the Investment Office of the President of Turkey.
Džaferović stated that today's meeting was an additional impetus for strengthening economic cooperation, and that Bosnia and Herzegovina has exceptional friendly relations with Turkey, and our goal is for them to be intensified in the business field as well, in parallel with cooperation at the political level.
-We want to make full use of the room created by the Free Trade Agreement, which gave us the most favorable status of all countries. Our goal is to raise the trade exchange to one billion dollars a year- Džaferović pointed out.
The meeting was organized by the Turkey-Bosnia and Herzegovina Business Council, and was attended by numerous business people in Turkey, the B&amp;H Presidency said.

About 750 migrants and refugees arrived in the Una-Sana Canton (USC) in the first 15 days of March alone, confirmed the Cantonal Police Administration today.

-Entering the canton near Bosanska Krupa, we registered about 500 migrants in this month alone, while about 250 people arrived in the area near Ključ and headed to Bihać or Velika Kladuša. We stop them at these checkpoints, but we are aware that we cannot fully close the entire area, and that they will find their way to their temporary target destinations- said the USC police spokesman Ale Šiljdedić.
In four temporary reception camps in Bihać, Cazin and Velika Kladuša, all accommodation capacities are currently filled, considering that about 2,500 people are taken care of in them.
According to the USC Ministry of the Interior, almost the same number of migrants and refugees live in city streets, public areas and abandoned buildings as they do in the camps.
-It is obvious that we are facing a new migrant wave, which we expected with the arrival of warmer weather. We have to take certain actions, because a large number of people are staying in abandoned buildings and on the streets, without any supervision. We hope that an appropriate solution will be found for these people outside our canton, given that we cannot adequately take care of them and that it is really impossible and inadmissible to open new reception centers in this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina- said the USC Prime Minister Mustafa Ružnić. He also underlined the problem of insufficient cooperation and lack of interest of the owners of the facilities inhabited by a large number of migrants and refugees, with special emphasis on the lack of protection and neglect of the unfinished building of the Retirement Home, i.e., the former Krajinametal facility in Bihać.

Fahrudin Radončić, president of the Alliance for a Better Future and former Minister of Security of B&amp;H, wrote a post on his Facebook profile about procurement of vaccines.
You can read his full post below:
After six months of inadmissible delay, the Government of FB&amp;H yesterday, unanimously, made a decision on the urgent procurement of 500,000 doses of vaccine "Sputnik V".
Masks have fallen.
The first question is why the Government of FB&amp;H did not do this on its own initiative a few months ago?
The second question is why Novalić lazily waited for the FB&amp;H Parliament - on the alarming proposal of SBB MP prof. Dr. Kacila - practically ordered the urgent formation of the Ad Hoc Commission, which within 24 hours, without any difficulties, operatively invited the bidders, ie domestic wholesalers to apply for the purchase of larger quantities of vaccines.
Couldn't the FB&amp;H Government have done that on its own a long time ago?
It has all the competencies and its institutions to do what Novalić did for the weekend, with a big and inadmissible delay - he sent Letters of Intent to about twenty addresses?

Secondly, how will the SDA leadership and their followers now be able to convince someone that vaccines could not be procured, because this is supposedly prevented by the Law on Public Procurement "whose amendments have not been adopted"

Yesterday's unanimous decision of the FB&amp;H Government unequivocally confirmed that the mentioned Law was not an obstacle at all.
We can only pray to Dear God that the planned contingent of 500,000 vaccines arrives within the promised deadline.
Thus, the Federation of B&amp;H, but also the Bosniaks, would finally cease to be the only area in Europe (and much wider), where the authorities have not yet enabled their people to even start mass immunization.
Did we have to wait for such a large number of deaths and new cases for Mr. Novalić to come out of the respiratory nightmare and only under the pressure of the FB&amp;H Parliament technically announce and solve, practically, the most ordinary tender?
Thousands of them are completed in the public and private sectors every year, without any problems?
Families of those who died unnecessarily and those who are about to die (because it will take at least a month or two to feel the positive results of mass immunization), and thousands of those who will unnecessarily ger over coronavirus and have lasting health consequences, our people has the right to be very dissatisfied and angry.
Especially if it turns out to be true that the Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Moscow, at the end of January, officially sent a letter and contact to Minister Turković for direct, much cheaper and more timely procurement of one million doses of "Sputnik V".

How will the SDA leadership and their followers now be able to convince someone that vaccines could not be procured, because this is supposedly prevented by the Law on Public Procurement "whose amendments have not been adopted"

Radončić on the procurement of vaccines: All the masks have fallen

Fahrudin Radončić, president of the Alliance for a Better Future, posted on his Instagram profile.
You can read his full post below:
- Exactly one year ago, at the truly traumatic beginning of the pandemic and corona crisis, as state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we had a coordinated response to the pandemic.
Sanitary teams were at the borders, the Coordination Body for Protection and Rescue was more than active, we took care of the timely procurement of medical equipment, medicines and donations, records were kept of each patient and they were controlled are they in self-isolation ...
Intercity bus traffic was prohibited, gatherings, we had many more other measures and fewer deaths. All measures were coordinated at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina through the Council of Ministers and the governments of the Federation of B&amp;H and the Republic of Srpska and all ten cantons.
Crisis staffs have been activated. The health services have been united, and all police resources have been activated, even some members of the B&amp;H Armed Forces. The Council of Ministers held emergency telephone sessions several times a week and resolved problems immediately. There was, at least through the Ministry of Security of B&amp;H and myself, an excellent operational connection with the Presidency of B&amp;H and all its members.
Today, to the great regret and shame, there is no activity in the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Turković, Cikotić and Podžić do not see each other at all and do not have or do not want to show the capacity of mediation and agility in the Council of Ministers and towards their colleagues in it.
Ministers from the SNSD and HDZ seem to deliberately want to compromise any need for the existence of a state level in resolving the historical crisis that is becoming cataclysmic. That is why I call on Turković, Cikotić and even Podžić, to start working immediately.
If Minister Cikotić is not informed how it is possible for the Bi&amp; Council of Ministers to work and coordinate much better and more successfully, Ms. Turković and Požić know how - they were there and sat next to me, as we coordinated, initiated and dynamized the faster and more responsible work of the Council of Ministers.
Bosniaks have no other choice in the situation of mass deaths and late procurement and arrival of larger quantities of vaccines, but to publicly demand that their representatives finally react adequately and act at least approximately as they did a year ago - wrote Radončić.

All measures were coordinated at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina through the Council of Ministers and the governments of the Federation of B&H and Republic of Srpska and all ten cantons, according to the president of SBB

Radončić: Turković, Cikotić and Podžić must start working immediately

NATO’s ability to defend remained undiminished despite last year’s challenges, the NATO secretary-general said on Tuesday.

Presenting NATO’s annual report, Jens Stoltenberg described 2020 as “dominated by the pandemic which changed our lives, our economies and our societies.”
-But NATO's ability to defend our nations’ populations remained as strong as it was- Stoltenberg stressed, praising the allies' “steady increase in defense spending” that has been rising for the sixth consecutive year.
He also warned that “security challenges haven’t gone away” during the pandemic, naming terrorism, cyber-attacks, "Russia’s aggressive foreign policy," the rise of China, and security implications of climate change as the most important threats for the military alliance.
-No country, no continent can tackle them alone- Stoltenberg said.
He also highlighted that trust in the alliance and the principle of collective defense remained significant for the population of NATO countries.
According to the latest polls, 62% of people would vote to remain a NATO ally if a referendum was held, and only 11% would vote against membership.
Similarly, 79% of the citizens in allied countries find the transatlantic cooperation important.

Deputy Chairperson of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bisera Turković talked with the Commander of the NATO Headquarters Sarajevo, Brigadier General Eric Folkestad.

The meeting was held at the NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo, and Minister Turković and General Folkestad discussed future cooperation and the current situation in B&amp;H.
The topic of conversation was also the problem with the procurement of vaccines for B&amp;H, but also the possibilities of involving NATO in the assistance for vaccine procurement.
The interlocutors expressed satisfaction with the beginning of the work of the Commission for Cooperation with NATO, but also with the adoption of the document "Implementation of the Reform Program of Bosnia and Herzegovina 2019-2020".
The officials emphasized the importance of starting the procedure for drafting a new "B&amp;H Reform Program 2020-2021", the Press Service of the B&amp;H MFA said.

Turković and Folkestad on possibility of involving NATO for vaccine procurement

Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Šefik Džaferović assessed today's visit of the B&amp;H state delegation to Turkey, which was organized at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as very important.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny’s Instagram account confirmed on Monday that the jailed opposition politician is being held in a prison camp in Russia’s Vladimir region northeast of Moscow known for its strict regime.
Navalny’s precise location had been unknown after his legal team said last week that he had been moved from the nearby Kolchugino jail and that they had not been told where he was being taken.
Navalny, 44, one of President Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critics, was jailed earlier this year for parole violations in a decision that the West has condemned as politically motivated.
His Instagram account said he was being held in a heightened security section of the prison camp.

Twitter users who used the word "Memphis" found themselves temporarily locked out of their accounts at the weekend because of a bizarre bug.

British Airways’s new boss said vaccinated people should be allowed to travel without restriction and non-vaccinated people with a negative COVID-19 test, as he set out his ideas for a travel restart a month before the UK government finalises its plans.Holidays will not be allowed until May 17 at the earliest, the government has said, but before that, on April 12, Britain will announce how and when non-essential travel into and out of the country can resume.
Sean Doyle, appointed BA’s chief executive last October, called on Britain to work with other governments to allow vaccines and health apps to open up travel, after a year when minimal flying has left many airlines on life support.
-I think people who’ve been vaccinated should be able to travel without restriction. Those who have not been vaccinated should be able to travel with a negative test result- he said.
Doyle said the roll-out of vaccines made him optimistic BA would be back flying this summer, but added the recovery depends on what is said on April 12.
He wants government to give its backing to health apps that can be used to verify a person’s negative COVID-19 test results and vaccination status.
Apps will be key to facilitating travel at scale, the industry has said. Airline staff checking paperwork takes 20 minutes per passenger and is not practical if large numbers of passengers return.
Britain has rapidly rolled out vaccinations and 44% of the adult population, mostly people over 60, have now had their first shot.
The government has said any return to travel must be fair and not unduly disadvantage those who have not been vaccinated.
Doyle expects Britain to bring in a tiered framework with destinations put into categories depending on risk, and that will determine BA’s summer schedule.
Beyond saying there was “huge pent up demand”, Doyle declined to forecast how strong the season could be.
Budget rival Ryanair, Europe’s biggest airline, has said it hopes to fly up to 70% of 2019 passenger numbers this summer.
BA has struck a deal with a testing kit provider giving its passengers 33 pound ($46) tests to take abroad.
Travel commentators expect most European airlines to focus on short-haul leisure routes this summer, and Doyle noted France, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus and Spain had all sounded positive about welcoming British holidaymakers.
But he said BA was also looking further afield.
-We’re already looking at new destinations over the summer that we haven’t flown to before, and that could be across both long haul and short haul- Doyle said.

Dutch riot police used water cannon and batons on Sunday to disperse a crowd of several thousand anti-lockdown protesters gathered at a field in the centre of The Hague a day before national elections.


The demonstration was broken up after the protesters flouted social distancing rules and ignored police warnings to disperse.
Local media said several arrests were made during the clashes. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Dutch authorities had stopped train services to the city, the seat of government, to prevent more protesters arriving. Police initially told people to go home and announced over loudspeakers that the event was over and warned that they would break up the protest by force if necessary.
Many in the crowd, gathered at the central Maliveld field in the city, were holding yellow umbrellas in a show of opposition and chanted “Love, freedom, stop dictatorship.”
The Netherlands has been under a tough lockdown since late January with gatherings of more than two people banned, restaurants and bars shut and with the first night-time curfew since World War Two.
Voting in the election will start on Monday, with polls open for three days to help to ensure social distancing at polling stations. Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s conservative VVD Party looks set to get a new four-year mandate after being in power since 2010.
A majority of voters reluctantly support the lockdown, given the Netherlands’ current coronavirus infection rate which is towards the high end of Europe’s range.
But the curfew, which has been extended until the end of March, prompted several days of rioting across the country when it was first imposed on Jan. 23
-You can do some restrictions of course but you can limit it to the people who are vulnerable and weak in society- said Hans van der Arend, who travelled from the nearby port city of Rotterdam.
The country of 17 million has registered more than 1.1 million COVID-19 cases and more than 16,000 deaths in the pandemic.
