Yes.. that was updated last night.. sooo since Bosnia is anyways slow in everything, we will have to wait couple of days for an official info on their website hahaha

Eh, there's a very specific reason that they've suddenly changed it to high priority. Most embassies still aren't processing them, despite what this hastily posted news update says. On top of that, if you're in a travel banned country, you're definitely still out of luck.
I wouldn't start celebrating yet, it's still up to consulates and again, this was posted for a very specific reason, not because they're excited to start processing people again.

You Belgians need to be a bit more optimistic 🙈 Let’s hope for the best my friend.. it’s not an easy time, but hope dies the last 🤞💪🏻

Got a response from LIMA, PERU embassy today through Facebook. They are only processing immediate relative visas (spouses and children of US Citizens). They are not yet processing K visas. They are aware of the new statement from dept of state making k visas a high priority, but they are not able to increase their appt. services just yet due to health and safety concerns and local conditions in Lima.

I think a lot of Embassies are saying the same thing sadly  I think the fact that some are processing is a good sign though, and that K1s will be sooner than other visas. Hang in there, stay positive and just think about how you'll have grown getting through this difficult time!

The embassy in Sarajevo Bosnia, sent me an email that they will start processing fiance visas.. this might also be because Bosnia is not one of the banned countries, but I would suggest to anyone who has their case in the embassy to try and schedule the interview if possible, just because the backlogs so you get your interview ASAP! I have mine scheduled for 5th october

This may be helpful (albeit very general statements as answers)

Elections, you do not want to alienate a sizable portion of your constituency with this anti-immigration stance. Look for the state department to make a lot of conflicting news releases as they try to appease all sides.

Pakistan embassy said to resume passport services & US citizen services only, no visa services... what the heck is this? aren't they already doing that? if not, whats more important?? I guess election are coming..
