According to the Travnik parish priest, Pave Nikolic, twice as
many parishioners took part in the Easter celebration this year as
opposed to last year. "Many came from places they are accommodated
as displaced persons in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, and during
the Easter holidays they visited their mostly devastated homes,"
Nikolic said.
The Nova Bila-based Travnik police said that all church
services in places under Bosniac control had been covered by local
police officers, adding that there had been no incident, which also
encouraged the return of about 20,000 displaced persons from
Travnik.
