Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Bosnia's elections will probably go ahead as scheduled on 14 September, although conditions are far from ideal, the Swiss Foreign Minister - who has the final say on holding the vote - indicated yesterday. Flavio Cotti, chairman in office of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the security and human-rights group charged with organising the elections, said he would announce his final decision next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Serb soldiers in eastern Croatia grudgingly surrendered their weapons and uniforms, completing the demilitarisation of Croatia's last Serb-held region. The process is considered a key step in the re-establishment of Croatian government rule over an area that Serb rebels had controlled for almost five years. AP - Vienna
