SDA and CD Coalition Bratunac react to Hasanovic attack
SDA Vice-president Sulejman Tihic stated that the terrorist attack on Munib Hasanovic is a consequence of the International Community’s hesitant attitude towards the issues of security and Srebrenica and especially in its inconsistent implementation of the Luxembourg Declaration. The SDA Regional Board Central Podrinje requests that the OHR and other international factors establish the multiethnic police in Srebrenica and other municipalities, arrest war criminals in all Podrinje municipalities and increase SFOR presence. CD Coalition delegates in Bratunac Municipality have temporarily suspended their work in the Municipal Assembly until the perpetrators of the attack against Munib Hasanovic are arrested.
