Protests in Sarajevo: Police is Not Allowing Citizens to Block the Street

The protests in Sarajevo continue today. Around noon in front of the B&H Presidency building, citizens started to gather, and now there are around 200. Protestors are still standing near the tram stop on the sidewalk, and traffic continues.

At least 20 members of the MUP of Canton Sarajevo are not allowing the protestors to stop traffic. The Sarajevo media reports that the police promised protestors that they would not use force.

SRNA Agency said that the gathered citizens complained that the police threatened criminal charges ‘’if they do not obey the orders’’.

The demand to not go on the street, but rather to do their jobs on the sidewalk where the tram stop is, was sent to journalists, photographers and photo reporters, writes SRNA.
