The Ambassador of Macedoni to BiH Rami Redžepi announced today that the goal of restarting the investigation of the death of Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski in Rotmijla near Mostar is to remove all doubts and manipulations regarding the circumstances of his death.
Redžepi told SRNA that, apart from the strengthening of cooperation between BiH and Macedonia, the families of the President and members of his delegation would be finally resolved as to what occurred in Mostar on 26 February 2004.
“The newly-formed Commission consists of 15 members from Macedonia, BiH, Serbia and Croatia. Since this incident involves several countries, experts from the country that constructed the airplane are involved, as well as experts from countries from which the airplane carried the delegates, and experts from countries where the incident occurred and the international community that at the time was present in BiH”, said Redžepi.
He confirmed that the Commission, with Omer Kulić as the head, has a task to finish this job within the timeframe from six months to one year in order to clarify the circumstances of the crash.
The former Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski, six members of the Macedonian Delegation that departed for an international conference in Mostar and two crewmembers were killed on 26 February 2004 when their plane crashed into a nearby mountain due to a pilot error.
The investigation into the plane crash reopened in December of last year at the request of Macedonia after the Macedonian MUP and the Ministry of Transport and Communication of BiH collected new material evidence.
