MOSTAR, April 18 (Hina) - Representatives of 'Hercegovacka Banka'
on Wednesday condemned a raid by the NATO-led SFOR troops in the
bank's administration building in Mostar, describing that act as "a
brutal armed attack".
In the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, members of the Office of
the High Representative (OHR) and the Stabilisation Force blew up
the bank's safe deposit box, taking from it money and other
documentation which were not confiscated in an April 6 operation
when the bank was blocked.
"The brutal armed raid, carried out in accordance with the order of
High Representative Wolfgang Petritsch in the night between 17 and
18 April, with the assistance of helicopters, armoured carriers,
explosive devices and armed soldiers against the Hercegovacka
Banka's administration building in Mostar (...) is yet another
proof the High Representative and his staff give us to instigate
court proceedings before international judicial institutions,"
read a joint statement issued by the bank's suspended management,
staff and share-holders.
According to their statement, Petritsch has once again deluded the
international public and the signatories to the statement label him
as a tyrant.
