He said this was not the first time that these filters are cracked, and the Federal Inspectorate, which is responsible for overseeing the river Bosna, has been informed about everything.
As the reader from Zavidovici city told Oslobodjenje, the river Bosna has a strange rust color, and considering that there was no precipitation yesterday, he suspected that it was a leak from ArcerolMittal.
