The Primate of the Catholic Church in Croatia, who is on a five-day
visit to Mostar and Banja Luka dioceses, on Wednesday visited the
Andjelic family in the village of Kostajnica near Konjic, whose
three members were killed at Christmas Eve last year. On that
occasion, the Catholic dignitary lit candles and said prayers at
the graves of those three victims, killed by Muamer Topalovic,
sentenced by a county court to 35 years in prison for the murder he
committed being incited by ethnic hatred.
