Protesters rally in Sarajevo to demand special status for Srebrenica

SARAJEVO, June 11 (Hina) - Around 2,000 people gathered in downtown Sarajevo on Monday for a protest meeting to support requests to separate the eastern Bosnian municipality of Srebrenica from the rest of the Serb entity.
SARAJEVO, June 11 (Hina) - Around 2,000 people gathered in downtown Sarajevo on Monday for a protest meeting to support requests to separate the eastern Bosnian municipality of Srebrenica from the rest of the Serb entity.

The rally, held under the slogan "Srebrenica - Justice for All", was organised by a committee which advocates giving Srebrenica a special status. A month ago, members of the committee left Srebrenica and since then have been living in a tent settlement in Sarajevo, waiting for somebody to respond to their requests.

"We are here today to put right the injustice done in Dayton," Srebrenica mayor Abdurahman Malkic said at the rally.

He added that the architects of the 1995 Dayton peace agreement, which ended the war in Bosnia, had admitted their mistakes, but had done nothing to correct them.

The rally was also addressed by representatives of associations gathering the families of Bosnian Muslims gone missing or killed in the war, who said that they did not want to live under the rule of those who were responsible for genocide and death of their dearest ones.

Munira Subasic of an association of mothers from Srebrenica and Zepa said that all Muslims would move out of Srebrenica if their demands were not met.

Parliamentary deputies of the Party for Bosnia-Herzegovina (SBiH) and the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) last week submitted an amendment to the country's constitution determining a special status for Srebrenica, but Serb deputies said they would never accept the amendment and threatened to boycott sessions if Muslim deputies continued insisting on the amendment.

Requests to give Srebrenica a special status are not supported by international representatives in the country either, and the Office of the

High Representative (OHR) previously warned that separating the municipality from the rest of the entity would be contrary to the country's constitution.
