Remains of Kjašif Smajlović, first journalist killed in BiH, buried at Sarajevo cemetery Vlakovo

The remains of journalist Kjašif Smajlović, a correspondent of Oslobođenje from Zvornik, were buried today at the Sarajevo cemetery Vlakovo. He was killed in 1992 by Arkan's men, who came to BiH from neighboring Serbia, NAP reports.

Kjašif is considered the first journalist killed in BiH, at the very beginning of the aggression against the country in 1992.
