International Community representatives should react to Umicevic’s open acts of discrimination – Party for BiH

SFOR troops can be reduced only after all refugees in BiH are allowed to return home and after other goals of the Dayton Agreement are implemented” the Party for BiH concluded at a press conference in Sarajevo on Wednesday. The Party strongly condemned Banja Luka Mayor Djordje Umicevic’s statement that rebuilding the Ferhadija Mosque will not be permitted. International Community representatives should react to Umicevic’s open acts of discrimination, fascism, and xenophobia and stop such anti-Dayton acts by some RS officials.
