There is concern about provocation ahead of the “9 January Republika Srpska Day” celebrations, which have been banned by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The so-called military parade to be held in eastern Sarajevo and some Bosnian NGOs calling for barricades to prevent the passage of vehicles have raised fears of provocation.
Local media reported that a portrait of war criminal Ratko Mladic hung in a building used by Serbian war veterans as part of preparations for a ceremony in eastern Sarajevo, while a film about the freedom struggle of Serbs, shot by Serbian Canadian director Boris Malagorski, was being filmed. It was shown at a town hall on January 11 and I recorded it being done.
The High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schmidt, wrote a letter to the leaders of the Bosnian Serbs, in which he indicated that January 9 was unconstitutional and divisive in nature.
Schmidt stressed that the controversial January 9 celebrations are an indication of disrespect for the authority and decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and said: “January 9, which was declared the Day of the Republic of Serbia, has no significance in strengthening the collective memory.” Use phrases.
