One of the biggest disgraces in Mostar were evictions of
people from their flats. Serbs, Croats and Muslims alike were being
evicted from their flats in western Mostar, he said, adding the
evictions were accompanied by death threats. Last night, an elderly
Serb man and a Serb woman had been forced out of their flats.
'Until we get rid of the scum, the people in Mostar will not
be able to live normally', Garrod said, adding that Mostar leaders
were being intimidated too, which prevented them from speaking up.
Garrod announced that he would meet today the Mostar mayor
Ivica Prskalo and his deputy Safet Orucevic and try to find
solutions to problems such as the housing of municipal
administration offices and creation of a time-table of the transfer
of European Union authority to bodies of local administration and
police.
