Now, we should only use our hearts” Sarovic stated. Sarovic believes that our actions should not be righteous, but useful, realistic and feasible.

Hajric on OHR responsibility

President of the Sarajevo Declaration Executive Board Mirza Hajric stated that the OHR was primarily responsible for the superficial implementation of the Sarajevo Declaration, adding that Sarajevo did its part. Hajric claims that over 16,000 refugees have returned to Sarajevo. He criticized the fact that 119 families banished from east to west Mostar were not returned to their homes.Hajric does not want the OHR to dismiss the “counter-workers” but those responsible, such as west Mostar Mayor Stipe Maric, OHR Return and Reconstruction Head Nigel Wood (sic) and Banja Luka Mayor Djordje Umicevic.
