Bosnian actor Feđa Štukan detained at Belgrade airport, to be deported

(Patria) - Bosnian actor and writer Feđa Štukan, who was scheduled to appear at the Krokodil festival, was detained today at Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport, Nova.rs has learned.

This was confirmed to the Nova.rs portal by his lawyers Sead Spahović and Ahmed Delimeđac.

He will return to Bosnia and Herzegovina on the first flight tomorrow, i.e., he will be deported.

In mid-June last year, the Bosnian actor was held at the border crossing between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia for several hours. This happened immediately after he first supported the protests "Srbija protiv nasilja" (Serbia Against Violence) and then attended a protest march in Belgrade.

Soon after, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called him a "criminal", and the daily newspaper "Politika" labeled him a "Muslim extremist".

Actor Feđa Štukan told N1 at the end of January this year that he never officially learned anything about the ban on entering Serbia.

"Later, I learned from Vučić's cabinet that only if the Serbian parliament votes against the decision on my entry ban, that decision would be revoked. I know that even if the government changes, I will not be an item on the agenda of the session, so this measure is probably lifelong," Štukan said at the time.
