Une élection présidentielle anticipée se tient ce dimanche 23 novembre dans la République serbe de Bosnie, l'entité serbe de ce pays toujours divisé selon des lignes ethniques. Condamné et déclaré inéligible, l'ancien président nationaliste, Milorad Dodik ne peut se présenter après 19 ans de pouvoir sans partage, mais son parti présente un candidat. L'entité serbe de Bosnie pourrait tourner la page du nationalisme lors de cette élection, dont le résultat s'annonce incertain, dans un pays ravagé par la corruption et les difficultés économiques.

US president signals potential room for adjustments after Zelenskyy says proposals force Ukraine to choose between national dignity and losing the US
Donald Trump said on Saturday that his Moscow-drafted “peace plan” was “not my final offer”, after a furious backlash from Ukrainians who described it as reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 Munich agreement with Adolf Hitler.
The US president told reporters during brief remarks at the White House: “We’d like to get to peace. It should’ve happened a long time ago … we’re trying to get it ended, one way or the other we have to get it ended.”
In the Trump administration’s latest effort to pressure Ukraine into accepting a 28-point peace plan, officials from the two countries will hold talks in Geneva.

US officials to hold high-level talks in Brussels amid unhappiness in Washington at slow action on July deal
The EU and US are set to restart trade negotiations next week after a two-month pause to try to settle unresolved sticking points in their controversial tariff deal struck in July.
The US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, and trade representative Jamieson Greer will hold high-level meetings in Brussels on Monday with ministers, EU commissioners and industry bosses.
The brand, which evokes nostalgia and pride, hit its €5m fundraising target within hours and orders have soared
Drop a Duralex glass and it will most likely bounce, not break. The French company itself has tumbled several times in the past two decades and always bounced back, but never quite as spectacularly as when, earlier this month, it asked the public for money.
An appeal for €5m (£4.4m) of emergency funding to secure the immediate future of the glassworks took just five hours and 40 minutes to reach its target. Within 48 hours, the total amount pledged had topped €19m.
In a joint statement, the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine, which faces the prospect of losing American support if it rejects the latest proposal.

Exclusive: Kanak leader Christian Tein, who was freed from prison in June, says France is ‘deliberately dragging out’ re-issue of his passport
A pro-independence leader from the French overseas territory of New Caledonia has accused the French government of “deliberately dragging out” his passport application, preventing him from flying home after his release from prison.

This week’s local elections are the latest reminder that when social democrats move rightwards, they’re making a mistake
Cas Mudde is the author of The Far Right Today
After more than 100 years, Copenhagen no longer has a Social Democrat mayor. Sisse Marie Welling, the new lord mayor, represents neither the mainstream right nor the far right but the Green Left (Socialistisk Folkeparti, known as SF). This should be a major wake-up call for centre-left parties across Europe. After more than a decade taking the wrong lessons from Denmark, it is finally time to learn the right lesson: copying the far right not only fails to turn on far-right voters, it also turns off progressive voters.
The 21st century has so far seen two simultaneous electoral developments in western Europe: the decline of social-democratic parties and the rise of far-right parties. This has created the powerful narrative that social democrats are losing votes to the far right, in particular because of their (alleged) “pro-immigration” positions. And although research shows that their voters mainly moved to centre-right and green parties, social-democratic parties have been chasing this mythical “left behind” voter ever since.

Chernihiv residents say they are without power for 14 hours a day as they gather in ‘invincibility points’ to charge up and warm up
Valentyna Ivanivna showed off her new head torch. It was a present from her grandson, she said. Most evenings she wears it while doing household chores: cooking dinner, washing up and stacking plates. “It’s impossible to plan anything without power. You can’t even invite people round for a cup of tea because the kettle won’t work. It’s stressful and exhausting for everyone,” she explained.
Ivanivna lives in Chernihiv, an ancient Ukrainian city known for its early medieval cathedrals. The border with Belarus and Russia is a short drive away, across a landscape of pine forests, villages with geese and the occasional wandering moose. In 2022, Russian troops invaded and occupied most of the oblast. They bombed and laid siege to Chernihiv, pulling out after six weeks and rolling north.
