News Summary
Journalists visit Kopanja in hospital
TV BiH journalist: “A group of journalists visited Nezavisne Novine Director and Editor-in-Chief Zeljko Kopanja in the (Banja Luka) hospital. Accompanying the journalists was Head of the EU Mission to BiH Louis De Souza, who informed that the EU is shocked with the recent terrorist act committed in Banja Luka and added that EU member countries are absolutely supporting Nezavisne Novine’s editorial policy. Nezavisne Novine was reporting openly about Serb crimes against Bosniaks and Croats over the past several months, and many see the assassination attempt on Kopanja as an act of revenge against such reporting. An SDP BiH delegation visited the Nezavisne Novine premises in Banja Luka. Nezavisne Novine Deputy Director Radmilo Sipovac informed that “there have been anonymous phone threats and warnings that, if we continue with our current concept, we will end up like Zeljko Kopanja.”
