Cantonal Assembly

The Cantonal Assembly unanimously adopted the declaration, filed by Democratic Action Party (SDA).
This declaration strongly condemns the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature to "the Srebrenica genocide denier", as they put it.

Damir Marjanovic, a member of the Sarajevo Canton parliament from the liberal, multi-ethnic Nasa Stranka (Our Party), told BIRN that he has filed the proposal for new legislation to the Cantonal Assembly because there is a real need for a clear and precise law that will enable people to be sanctioned for hate speech.

While performing several songs in the Bosnian capital's main Ferhadija pedestrian area, the popular band Dubioza Kolektiv urged the citizens of Sarajevo to maintain support for the street protests and civic plenums that have toppled local governments in the country.
