The Day of White Ribbons is being marked on the square in Prijedor, and the activist of the “Because it concerns me” initiative Edin Ramulic asked politicians, including the Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Fadil Novalic, not to give statements at the place where the suffering is being commemorated.
After media representatives approached the prime minister to take a statement from him on White Ribbon Day, Ramulic asked that this not be done in a circle marking the suffering and torture of non-Serbs from Prijedor in 1992-1995.
“Please don’t make statements here. You have streets, you have the whole city, don’t come here,” Ramulic said, to which Prime Minister Novalic said “I agree”.
The journalists then insisted on taking a statement from Novalic and approached him again, but he himself refused to do so and headed to the location where a monument to the murdered children of Prijedor should be made to lay a flower.
Many say Novalic is banned from speaking, but the recording shows the prime minister being asked not to do so.
Before the journalists approached the Prime Minister, Ramulic tried to ask them not to take statements from politicians in that place out of respect for the victims and so that such an event would not be politicized, Klix.ba writes.
