BANJA LUKA Police identified women photographed with the RBiH flag

(Patria) - The bus carrying women from Bugojno, who were photographed with the flag of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Banja Luka today, is still under police escort and has not yet departed. To recall, citizens called the police today

Isak asked Minister Karan to verify media reports and take measures and actions within his jurisdiction to ensure peaceful stay for all BiH citizens in the RS entity.

"I contacted Minister Karan because any mistreatment and harassment of our citizens is unacceptable, especially because they are carrying the flag of the state of BiH and the flag with lilies. Bosnia and Herzegovina is an internationally recognized state that was admitted to the UN with the flag of six lilies," Isak stated.

He also announced that he will seek the determination of any criminal and disciplinary responsibility of police officers found to have exceeded their authority.

"Even court rulings in Banja Luka, such as the acquittals in the absurd case against Sejfullah Tokić, are apparently not enough reason for RS Ministry of Internal Affairs police officers to change their behavior," Isak stated in his reaction.
