RS MUP claims there are no checkpoints, citizens' messages show otherwise

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - After the Patria agency article "RS MUP set up checkpoints on the inter-entity line and does not allow citizens of FBiH to pass", the Ministry of Interior denied the existence of checkpoints on the inter-entity line through the media. 

However, what does not work in favor of the RS MUP is the fact that there are individuals and evidence of those who set out to travel through the RS and were then stopped and returned to FBiH under threat of a 500 KM fine. 

"Police controls have been intensified to comply with the Conclusion of the RS Emergency Situations Staff on the ban on movement from Saturday at 12:00 to Sunday at 18:00," they say from the RS MUP. 

Nevertheless, that checkpoints exist is shown by the messages we received, where it is clear that the RS MUP was turning back citizens from FBiH this morning and did not allow them to pass through that entity, even though it had no right to do so, because the ban on leaving one's place of residence applies only to RS citizens. The MUP would have the right to turn back FBiH citizens only in the case of a ban on passage through that entity, which did not happen in this case. 

For those who do not believe that checkpoints existed, here is the evidence. 

Some citizens also posted on social networks that they had been stopped.
