TV1: How it feels to be free after seven years, given all the measures imposed?
ABU HAMZA: It certainly does not feel normal, I am still not used to it and I still do not believe I am free after so many years. It will take a while for my body to adapt. I am under surveillance 24 hours a day.
TV1: Are you still a threat to national security?
ABU HAMZA: That is the question for those who though I was a threat. As much as I know, I am not and I will never be a threat to the country I love and to the brotherly people whom I helped when they needed it the most, and it will stay that way, believe me. Bosnia is in fact my first country, because I lived more in Bosnia than I lived in Syria.
TV1: One of the imposed measures is to pay attention with whom you communicate, who is your interlocutor, to avoid dangerous people. Did you get the list of dangerous people with whom you are not supposed to communicate?
ABU HAMZA: I have been advised how to behave after my liberation, but they did not ban anything exclusively. I am obliged to report to the police station Ilidža and report on the phone four times a day. Besides that, there are no more bans. However, I was advised by the people would not like me to get into any more trouble to avoid certain people. When I asked who those people were, they told me I should know that.
TV1: What is your current status in BiH? You have been stripped of your citizenship?
ABU HAMZA: I am neither in heaven nor earth. I am not a foreigner staying in BiH. I am a man whose deportation has been halted.
Court of Strasbourg. Now we are going for the UN, to see why I was kept there for seven and a half years without any reason.
TV1: Are you angry, disappointed?
ABU HAMZA: I was. Before Reis Kavazovi・ visited me, I hated everything related to the Balkans. However, after he visited me, I started believing that people did not forget me. On this occasion, I would like to thank him a lot. I have to be angry at the state because this is unforgivable.
