SARAJEVO, June 3 (Hina) - The United Nations Mission to Bosnia
believes local police in southern Bosnian town Mostar are
obstructing an investigation into the attack on two reporters of
Croatian daily paper "Novi List", and seeks that the investigation
be stepped up and the culprits found and punished.
UN spokeswoman Kelly More reminded reporters in Sarajevo on
Thursday that immediately after the May 7 attack, Herzegovina-
Neretva Canton Interior Minister Dragan Mandic notified the UN
Mission that a special team had been established to conduct an
investigation.
A report later came from Mostar saying the investigation could not
begin before a complaint the reporters made to the police in Rijeka,
where the two are based, had been submitted. This was to be done via
diplomatic routes.
Moore told reporters it was unacceptable an investigation had not
been launched yet. She accused local authorities in Mostar of
making all kinds of excuses to delay starting an investigation.
The International Police Task Force will follow the case as long as
the attackers on the two Croatian reporters have not been brought to
justice, Moore stressed.
