TUZLA, Bosnia (September 15,2007) – Representatives of the Bosnian War Veterans’ Associations requested yesterday in Tuzla that Bosnia breaks off all diplomatic and economic relations with Serbia.
The Bosnian War Veterans’ Associations have made this demand in reaction to the Serbian Minister of Justice’s statement that Serbia will not hand over the “Tuzla Column” case to Bosnia.In May 1992,the Serbian aggressor's troops came under attack by the Bosnian Army as they were withdrawing from the Bosnian city of Tuzla and up to 200 Serbian aggressor's soldiers were reportedly killed and 140 of them were taken prisoners by the Bosnian Army.
Former Tuzla Municipal Council Chair Ilija Jurisic is in custody in Serbia on charges related to this case.Jurišić is a Bosnian patriot who participated in defending the Bosnian city of Tuzla from the Serbian aggressor,during the 1992-1995 Serbian aggresion against Bosnia.He has been arrested by the Serbian aggressor and has been in a prison in Belgrade since 11 May 2007.
The Bosnian war veterans are unanimous in their support for Ilija Jurisic and all activities aimed at securing his release.
Representatives of the Coordinating Body also expressed their support for all of the other accused in the so-called “Brcanska Malta” case.
They condemned in the strongest possible terms the behaviour by the Serbian authorities and the lack of engagement from the Bosnian authorities on protecting their citizens.
