AJANOVIC: OHR'S ATTACKS ON REISU-L-ULEMA MUSTAFA EF.CERIC ARE A BREECH OF ARTICLE 10 OF EUROPEAN CONVENTION

TUZLA, Bosnia (November 6,2007) – "Attacks by the Office of International Community's High representative in Bosnia (OHR) on leader of the Bosnian Islamic Community Reis-l-Ulema Mustafa Ef. Ceric, are an evident breech of the Article 10 of the European Convention that is guaranteeing the freedom of expression and opinion”, Mirnes Ajanovic, president of the BOSS Party stated at a press conference in Tuzla.

Ajanovic stated that the OHR has accused Reis-l-Ulema Mustafa Ef. Ceric without any grounds of making statements in the United States which are breeching the Dayton Agreement.

”Statements made by Reis-l-Ulema Mustafa Ef. Ceric on the necessity of implementation of the reforms and demands for annulment of results of criminal actions of genocide and ethnic cleansing should be an obligation of the reasonable and moral people. The attempts of banning the Bosnian Muslims from stating their opinions on a functional constitution of state are the breech of the Dayton Agreement.That is what the OHR has been doing”, Ajanovic said.

Speaking in Detroit,USA, Reis-l-Ulema Mustafa Ef. Ceric called on all present to “support the group led by Tarik Bilalbegovic, which is lobbying in Washington for a new resolution in the U.S. Congress, which has been initiated by the Bosniak-American Advisory Council for Bosnia.

The resolution, among other things, states that "the RS entity cannot exist under its present name, which represents an ethnically exclusive political philosophy of its founders and cements the results of genocide”.
