According to the protesters, members of victims' associations of
the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina were paid disability benefits for
October.
The Bosnian Federation's Veterans' Minister, Suada Hadzovic, has
requested new lists of HVO victims, because, she said, earlier
lists were irregular, with some names entered several times on
these lists.
