Only a Handful of Protesters Rally Against Croatian President's Visit to Sarajevo

By 17 January 2018

ZAGREB, January 17, 2018 - Only a few protesters rallied outside Croatia's embassy in Sarajevo on Wednesday when Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović arrived for a three-day visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On Monday, the non-governmental organisation Bosniak Movement for the Equality of People announced that it would organise a protest rally in Sarajevo under the motto "Stop the Tudjmanisation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Russian jackboot 22 years after Dayton", in order to express its dissatisfaction with Grabar-Kitarović's policy towards Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The small gathering today was led by the association's chairman Sejfudin Tokić, and some of the protesters were carrying photos of the late Croatian President Franjo Tudjman with the label "War Criminal".

The rally did not attract much attention from passers-by.
