Several hundred Sarajevo residents greeted with a roaring applause retired Army of BIH general Jovan Divjak, who said that he was saved from extradition to Serbia by the words “Don’t shoot!”,which he said on May 3, 1992 in Dobrovoljacka street.
Following a meeting with Bosnian officials, Austria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it will appeal for an assessment of existing warrants in the former Yugoslavia, so “Ejup Ganic and Tihomir Purda cases” will not happen again.
The Society for Threatened Peoples International, in cooperation with associations of Bosnian citizens in Austria, on Monday organised protests against the arrest of Jovan Divjak, a former general of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina detained on a Serbian warrant over war crimes charges.
