International Organizations in Mostar hold press conference on Mostar street blockade during ICTY investigators’ visit
Representatives of international organizations based in Mostar held a press conference on Wednesday with single subject on the agenda, Tuesday’s traffic blockade in Mostar. The reason for the operation was a visit by ICTY investigators to Mostar to allow them to perform their investigation without any complications, UN Mission spokesperson Stefo Lehmann stated. Lehmann commented on Tuesday’s statement by Mostar Mayor Ivan Prskalo who said that the SFOR blockade prevented him from coming to work and that he was submitted to verbal threats from an alleged Mujahedin in East Mostar. Lehmann asserted that, in this case, Prskalo should have reported the incident to the police instead of giving a paranoid statement to the media.
