The High Representative, Wolfgang Petritsch, condemns in the strongest possible terms the organised riot which took place at around 11.00 in the Head Office of the Herzegovacka Bank and some branch offices.
There are reports that during the course of the riot several participants in the operation were attacked and injured by bank employees and thugs. The High Representative demands that the local authorities and political leaders act to bring calm to the situation and requires that all citizens act within the law. Those who participated, who are involved in any way, in this attack and prevented the participants of the operation from carrying out their legal duty will be dealt with according to the law. The action undertaken jointly by OHR, SFOR, IPTF, the Federation Ministry of the Interior and the Federation Financial Police is being carried out under the authority of the High Representative.
