TRAVNIK, Feb 1 (Hina) - The Nova Bila-based Travnik municipal
administration received a Christmas card from the "president of the
presidency of the Moslem municipal authority in Travnik", Mirsad
Granov.
Travnik is about 70 kilometres northwest of Sarajevo, under
Moslem control.
"The card was an unpleasant surprise because we saw for the
first time what the new, one-sided coat of arms of the Travnik
municipality looks like," the Travnik municipal leadership said in
a protest on Saturday. #L#
The Travnik coat of arms before the war had been changed, the
protest said, adding that now it had a green background and a
crescent, and the number 1463 dominated - the year of the fall of
Bosnia at the onslaught of the Ottomans.
The present Moslem politics at the end of the 20th century
celebrated the darkest year of the Bosnian people, which could
suggest their views on the organization of Travnik and Bosnia-
Herzegovina in whole, the letter said.
The protest letter was forwarded to international
representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina Carl Bildt and President of
the Bosnian Federation Kresimir Zubak.
