Participants in the conference spoke about their support to the nomination of Bishop Komarica for the Nobel award.
Komarica, who has been the bishop of Banja Luka since 1989, is known as an outspoken advocate of protection of rights of civilians and minority groups in northwestern Bosnia during the war.
Since the war in Bosnia in the first half of the 1990s, only 42,000 Catholic believers have remained in his diocese which had 120,000 members before the war.
Bishop Komarica, who is nominated by the International League of Humanists from Sarajevo for the Nobel Prize, is tirelessly urging relevant authorities to enable refugees to return to their pre-war homes. The largest part of his diocese was placed under the jurisdiction of the Bosnian Serb entity under the 1995 Dayton peace accords.
