Banja Luka city authorities have denied that any of their firefighters were hired to make a promotional video for mayor Draško Stanivuković. The claim took off after a post appeared suggesting the fire service had been engaged for the shoot. That post has since disappeared, and officials now insist the mayor had nothing to do with the production. Their version is that whatever footage exists was not made for Stanivuković and that he took no part in its filming. The removal of the announcement has kept the story alive rather than killed it, since residents want to know who posted it and why it was pulled. Mixing public services with a politician's image is a sore subject wherever it happens, and the charge landed accordingly. Nobody has produced the video or a work order to settle the dispute. Until that evidence appears, the city's denial stands on its own.
