Bosnian Justice Minister Barisa Colak told reporters in Sarajevo on Wednesday that the ministerial council had considered and endorsed a report compiled by a special task force for checking citizenships granted to foreigners in Bosnia during and in the wake of the 1990s war.
The task force was set up within efforts to check accusations that during the war-time confusion some persons connected with terrorist activities had been granted Bosnian citizenship.
The task force established that 367 naturalised Bosnians have gained citizenship contrary to the law. As a result, they have been denaturalised.
Some of those denaturalised persons are 72 Turks, 31 Egyptians, 30 Algerians, 21 Syrians, 27 Tunisians, 23 Sudanese and 20 Russians.
The task force is expected to notify the State Prosecutor's Office about all suspicious cases so that it can launch relevant procedures.
