TUZLA, Aug 12 (Hina) - Local Serb police on Monday surrounded the
Tesanj factory "Distillation" in an action to replace the factory's
general manager, Rade Pavlovic. #L#
According to International Police Task Force (IPTF) reports,
the Serb police attempted to enter the building several times in
pursuit of director Pavlovic.
Small arms fire ensued the fruitless efforts of the Serb
police.
Spokesman of the IPTF Office in Tuzla Andre Angelli said that
it was still unknown why the Serb police wanted to oust Pavlovic,
nor who had shot at the police from the factory.
It is assumed that the shots came from a group of people who
were Pavlovic's supporters.
IPTF also had no information about the whereabouts of the
workers who had been working the third shift in the factory and had
remained locked in the building.
