Maj 9 � New Protests!

09 May 2008

Citizens of Sarajevo Informal Group organizes today, May 9, new round of protests in front of the Building to the Cantonal Government, to demand, once again, resignations and removal from office of Cantonal Prime Minister Samir Silajd�ić and Mayor of Sarajevo Semiha Borovac.

In the call to the citizens to join the protests and the fight for truth, justice and human dignity, the Groups says that they wouldn`t give up on their demands first presented three months ago.

`You can hardly pass the university entry exam in three tries in this society, not to mention the removal of incompetent and irresponsible persons that decide our fate and lead us on the road to ruin`, say the Citizens of Sarajevo.

The protests are held, with intended symbolism, on the Day of Victory over Fascism and the Europea Day, since, as they say `it is evident that with such politicians, we will never be able to join EU. They could take us only into a union of third-world countries`, said the Group in a press conference held yesterday.

`The citizens have to understand that the holders of power intend to stick to their lies. Therefore, we have to stick to the truth, which is rather simple, they do nothing to improve the life in the country`, add the cirizens of Sarajevo.

The `Concert of the Potters of Sarajevo` street performance was held yesterday, in front of about thirty citizens and the far more numerous security around the National Theatre.
