Initiative of BH sports journalist Muhamed Bikic that current Zvornicka Street next to Grbavica Stadium in Sarajevo is renamed in Ivice Osima Street, the legendary BH player and coach, has not passed so far.
The Municipality of Novo Sarajevo requires the consent of Ivica Osim himself and 5 % of signatures of residents of local communities Trg Heroja and Grbavica 2 (where is located the current Zvornicka Street), registered voters. After this decision of the municipal authority, journalist Bikic contacted the legendary Strauss who answered on this initiative in his style.
“Come on. I’ve heard about it and that you started it, as my neighbor from Hrasno. It’s nice from you to remember me, but please do not, please. There are more deserving heroes who should get the street,” said Osim.
It was expected answer from Ivica Osim, although journalist Bikic will not give up on this initiative that this legend one day gets the street in BiH capital, near the Grbavica Stadium.
Unfortunately, it seems that, as in everything else, our old practice will repeat, which combined with slow bureaucracy, makes medals and gratitudes posthumously.
