The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued an order for an international warrant for Miodrag Mitrašinović, since he was not found at the address after the first-instance verdict was handed over for war crimes, the court confirmed for "Avaz".

 

Mitrašinović, who did not appear at the sentencing on October 21st, was sentenced to 13 years under first-instance verdict, together with six other former members of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), who were also sentenced to the same prison terms, i.e. a total of 91 years in prison for participating in the kidnapping of 20 civilians from a train in Štrpci at the end of February 1993, who were killed in the area of Višegrad.

<h2>He was treated in the Foča University Hospital</h2>

Referring to the chronology of this case, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina reminds that before the verdict was pronounced in the case mentioned above, the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina submitted to the Court a proposal to determine the measure of detention for the accused in the "Štrpci case", in which it was stated that all were arrested except Miodrag Mitrašinović, who, according to the state prosecutor's office, was in the hospital in Foča, where he was admitted for a medical procedure.

This information was confirmed by the defense counsel of the accused Mitrašinović, lawyer Miloš Perić, who informed the Court that his client was in the hospital in Foča, where he underwent an operation during the day, and that he was not mobile and that he does not know how long he would be kept in hospital.
- Immediately after the sentencing and determination of the custody measure, the Court issued an order to the Institute for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions, Custody and Other Measures of BiH to ensure the implementation of the custody measure against the accused Miodrag Mitrašinović in the Foča University Hospital, where, according to the information provided to the Court at the time, he was being treated, and after the treatment was completed, he would be transferred to Vojkovići penitentiary in order to continue serving the detention measure - explained the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As they further state, after that, the Management of the Vojkovići penitentiary informed the Court that the accused Mitrašinović was not in the University Hospital in Foča, given that, as confirmed by the Department of Surgery, he was discharged from further treatment on the same day.

After receiving that information, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued an order to issue an international warrant in relation to the accused Miodrag Mitrašinović.
Ex-soldiers Mitrašinović, Obrad and Novak Poluga, Petko Inđić, Radojica Ristić, Dragan Šekarić and Oliver Krsmanović have been sentenced to 13 years each in a first-instance verdict for participating in the murder of 20 non-Serb civilians who were seized from a train that was traveling from Belgrade to Bar in Montenegro.
The victims were shot dead in the village of Musići and their bodies were then thrown into the Drina River.
The first-instance verdict convicting the seven men is subject to an appeal.&nbsp;

Any action taken toward the dissolution of BiH would violate Dayton and carry grave consequences, warned today the Embassy of the United States of America to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

 

The Embassy announced on its official Twitter that the United States is committed to the principles of Dayton – that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a democratic, multi-ethnic, sovereign, and independent state with unquestionable territorial integrity. Neither Dayton nor the Constitution of BiH offers any entity the right to secede.
- Those who want to perform duties in BiH should respect democratic processes and institutions that ensure that the voice of citizens is heard and stop presenting voters with wrong and inaccurate information about the electoral process in BiH - said the US Embassy in BiH.

They also state that there is no justification for responding to standard measures of electoral integrity with dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric about secession, which was used on Monday in Banja Luka at a meeting organized by the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD), led by Milorad Dodik.

- Election authorities have a responsibility to ensure the integrity of the electoral process, including by recounting ballots and other measures when circumstances warrant. The United States respects the right to peaceful assembly and protest. They are part of any democracy - the Embassy announced.&nbsp;

The Institute for Research of Genocide Canada (IGC) has sent a petition asking for an immediate halt of the film promoting the Bosnian entity RS, including 27,000 signatories. The receivers of the said petition are mayors of all cities where the film’s screening was announced. Furthermore, a petition will receive prime ministers and presidents of the countries where the movie was to be screened. And important political, academic, and cultural subjects of Canada, the USA, and the European Union.

A cover letter was included with the petition. In the letter signed by Emir Ramić, director of IGC, he writes, among other things:

- We are sending you a petition with more than 27,000 signatures from 67 countries worldwide. The signatories publicly express their deep concern about the film of the former Sputnik journalist and host of Russia Today, Serbian-Canadian director Boris Malagurski, "Republic of Srpska: Struggle for Freedom."
Today, we must remember that incitement to genocide, hate speech, and glorifying genocide’s planners and perpetrators are crimes. Boris Malagurski’s film encourages a new genocide, which is a crime.
Genocide negation, that is, the negation of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is confirmed by this film. It is another blow from the so-called civilized world to the victims of the biggest crime in Europe after the Holocaust, the genocide in Srebrenica. The film is a documented testimony of the dishonesty, moral and intellectual collapse of the planners and performers of aggression and genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The film certifies the work of genocide planners and perpetrators in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It supports Serbian extremism, whose goal is to create a “Greater Serbia” at the expense of the destruction of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The film defeated humanity, defeated man, and civilization. This film humiliated victims not only of the genocide in Srebrenica but also the victims of all terrible crimes in human history, including the victims of the Holocaust.

<h2>Film promotes the denial of the genocide in Srebrenica</h2>

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe, and the world, full of surviving victims and witnesses of terrible crimes, deserve much better than this film. How can victims hope for truth and justice next to an author like Boris Malagurski? Author in whom humanity is defeated, who continues the criminal tradition of the Serbian Academy of Sciences, the Serbian Orthodox Church, and the Serbian Association of Writers. Revising historical, judicial, and scientific facts about the genocide to equalize the victim and crimes for the benefit of the idea of ​​Greater Serbia, which has not yet been defeated.

That is why every premiere of this film will remain recorded for posterity as one of the blackest days in the history of humankind.
The film promotes the denial of the genocide in Srebrenica as the last stage of its complete execution. It promotes the idea of ​​Greater Serbia, which is constantly tearing Bosnia and Herzegovina apart. And tries, by all means, to show that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a failed state, promoting the independence of the RS entity and its unification with Serbia.
We invite you to wake up from a disturbing world that destroys the human spirit and consciousness. Leaving people in constant fear, where non-humans rule and proclaim lies as truth and consider a crime a good thing. Become aware of our position, look for ways out, and be brave, unique, knowledgeable, and professional. The film humiliates the victims, but the victims will never be defeated because the truth and justice are on their side, not on quasi-artist Boris Malagurski.

We are sending you a petition with more than 27,000 signatures from 67 countries worldwide, it is stated

Recounting of ballots for the level of president and vice president of RS continued today at the Main Counting Center in Sarajevo, and so far recounts for Bijeljina, Banja Luka and Doboj have been completed.

Deputy Director of the Main Counting Center Adi Agić told FENA that counting for Zvornik is underway, which should be completed during this shift.
- As for the results of the analysis, this is done by our results control and they will forward the report to the Central Election Commission. All these things that are written on the internet, the source of information is the observers of the political parties who were present at the Main Counting Center, so everyone interprets that part of the results in their own way - stated Agić.
When the CEC BiH receives the report from the control of the results, they will be able to give official information.

As for Doboj, for which it was previously said that there were no bags and seals from unused ballots from a certain number of polling stations, Agić said that the truth was that "the said number of bags was missing".

- We searched for material at other levels. There was mixed material, and we had to start sorting the complete unused material for individual polling stations - explained Agić.
According to him, the City Election Commission "did not ask for permission to open the bags and pack them properly and hand them over to us."
- This means that in the case of Doboj, the material was not packed according to the set rules - explained Agić.

The significance of today's summit in Prague, as well as the concept of the European political community, is that the widest circle of countries on the European continent got a chance to participate. It is a form of coming together for the purpose of a unique response to challenges, in the context of a general crisis of international relations, said Chairman of the BiH Presidency Šefik Džaferović after the Summit of the European Political Community in Prague.

- It is obvious that some traditional multilateral frameworks, such as the Security Council, cannot respond to all challenges due to blockades. The fact that the community is gathered today, from the United Kingdom to the EU and the Western Balkans to Turkey, actually sends the strongest message.
It is very important that Bosnia and Herzegovina participated and that BiH's positions on Ukraine, which are aligned with the EU's common foreign and security policy, have been affirmed.&nbsp;I also emphasized the importance of continuing the European and Euro-Atlantic perspectives for Bosnia and Herzegovina.At bilateral meetings, I highlighted my concern about potential ethnic divisions and tensions that could be caused by the imposition of the Election Law in BiH - said Džaferović.
As he said, Bosnia and Herzegovina needs peace and stability, and that is why it is extremely important to ensure the continuation of the presence of the international military mission in BiH, as well as for BiH to receive candidate status for EU membership.
- I am convinced that we have all realized that bringing BiH closer to the EU is a powerful way to strengthen peace, and it can be expected that Bosnia and Herzegovina will soon receive candidate status - said the Chairman of the BiH Presidency, Šefik Džaferović.

Several thousand citizens gathered tonight in Banja Luka's "Mladen Stojanović" park for a peaceful protest organized by representatives of the opposition in Republika Srpska dissatisfied, as they claim, with electoral theft and fraud, primarily in the context of the race for the president of that entity.

The participants of the rally went on a peaceful walk towards Trg Krajine, where the opposition leaders made official speeches and messages were sent to the authorities in order, as the organizers say, to get to the truth and respect the will of the voters.
The president of the Party of Democratic Progress (PDP), Branislav Borenović, addressed those gathered in the park calling for peace and dignity, and hailed the police who, as he says, resisted the pressure and did not forbid the protest march.
Jelena Trivić, Dodik's opponent and the PDP candidate for the president of the RS, also arrived at the protest, previously said that she would not give up the fight for the truth, and stated that some members of the polling committees were threatened and some of them were mistreated.
- I as a candidate, will not give up on this process. The election was not stolen from me but from the people of the RS. We have countless examples of fraud. We will hand over everything to the CEC of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will ask for a recount and opening of the bags - said Trivić.
