The Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina today called on the competent authorities of the Republic of Srpska entity to take the issue of endangered security of Bosniak returnees in that entity seriously and to prosecute the perpetrators of the latest threats and insults.

-Bosniak returnees in eastern Bosnia are exposed to permanent provocations and harassment, which usually intensifies during Ramadan. Unfortunately, we are witnessing that this year as well- Press Service of the Riyasat of the Islamic Community in B&H pointed out.

Since they have never been sanctioned or convicted by the competent entity authorities before, the Riyasat believes that these dark elements are overshadowed by the story of secession told by some politicians.

The statement called on the RS authorities to take the issue seriously and to prosecute and punish the perpetrators appropriately.

They also call on Sarajevo politicians to address the issue, but also on the competent prosecutor's office to launch investigations, as it concludes that "evil must be stopped".
