The protesters that gathered in front of the Cathedral expressed their bitterness over the passive authorities, fearing for their own and the safety of their children. The citizens accuse the Government of being responsible for not doing its job to prevent youth delinquency.

They called for the Mayor of Sarajevo Semiha Borovac, Cantonal Minister of Interior and other representatives of the authorities to take responsibility for their false assurances that Sarajevo is a safe and secure city.

The loudest protests were heard in front of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with protesters demanding justice and resignation from the members of the Presidency.

Upon the return of the procession to the Cathedral, a signing of a petition demanding from Cantonal authorities to urgently take measures to solve the problem of youth delinquency was organized.
