BiH Association of Camp Inmates protests over HDZ BiH statement on ICTY verdict
The BiH Association of Camps Inmates is disappointed with the HDZ BiH position on the Hague Tribunal’s verdict on five Croats indicted of war crimes. In a press release issued on Sunday, the Association assessed that it could understand the support the HDZ BiH and Croatia gave indicted Croats when they departed for The Hague. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. However, the support given to those found guilty cannot be understood. The Association welcomed the ICTY verdict, adding that a “sentence of 62 years in prison for the murder of over 100 civilians could be considered as being light.”

‘Who Made Mistakes in BiH’ roundtable of VKBI discussed BiH prospects of enduring as a state in future
The main topic of concern in BiH today is the country’s ability to survive as an independent state in the post-Dayton period, Professor Dzenana Efendic-Semiz told a VKBI roundtable ‘Who Made Mistake in BiH’ held in Sarajevo on Sunday. Professor Efendic-Semiz asserted that the current situation in BiH is the result of the unfair Dayton Agreement that imposed the model of a state that has never been seen in legal theory and/or practice. On such foundations there is only a slim chance for BiH to remain an independent state in the future in the framework of its recognized borders, Efendic-Semiz concluded.
