While meeting Ban Ki-moon, Chairman of the Bodsnian Presidency Bakir Izetbegovic said that the UN is responsible for what happened in Srebrenica during the war. Mistakes that were made were given in a report in 1999 and they are related to injustice arms embargo, equalizing all sides in the war and bad estimation of slaughter that was ongoing in front of the eyes of the international community.

NEZAVISNE NOVINE
Bosnia is not investigating a case of bike dealers for whom the Austrian police said they stole 1.200 bicycles in the last two years in Carinthia. It is estimated that the criminal group imported bikes to Bosnia worth around 700.000 euro. Bosnian institutions claim that since the beginning of 2009 only 758 bikes were imported to the country which means that some were smuggled.
