Written by: Balkan Insight
Some five thousand Bosnians protested on Saturday in support of Bosnian General Jovan Divjak, arrested on Thursday on a warrant from Serbia, where he is accused of war crimes.
Protesters gathered in downtown Sarajevo to speak out against the arrest of Divjak, who is considered by many in Bosnia to be a national hero.
Protesters yelled: “Give us Jova back!”, “Jovo, our Serb, the whole city is with you!”, as they demonstrated in front of the Austrian and Serbian embassies and the country’s presidency.
