BANJA LUKA, JANUARY 12 /SRNA/ – Sarajevo is openly showing hostility toward Israel, as witnessed by the fact that today the city has been covered with posters featuring a so-called "Wanted" notice for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, security expert Slobodan Župljanin has stated for SRNA.
"This is meaningless and unnecessary. It will not contribute to anything. A small country burdened with numerous problems is engaging in actions like this, attempting to confront other countries and their leaders. Prior to this, we witnessed the cancellation of hospitality in Sarajevo for a conference of rabbis. There is an open expression of hatred toward that state, its people, and its leadership," Župljanin pointed out.
He believes this does not reflect the position of all of BiH or all of its citizens, but rather that of a war-mongering political elite in Sarajevo that is attempting to open fronts with countries that have never shown hostility toward BiH.
"There is no end in sight to the madness coming from Sarajevo. At some point, BiH will find itself at odds with the entire world. This will further complicate relations," Župljanin said.
He noted that Israel has always fostered friendly relations, but unlike Republika Srpska, the Federation of BiH has shown no interest in any form of cooperation.
"This is just another piece of bad news coming out of BiH that will further complicate the situation in BiH and undermine its already fragile international position," Župljanin concluded.
Posters featuring a so-called "Wanted" notice for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were displayed at several locations in central Sarajevo.
The posters show Netanyahu’s image alongside an English-language caption stating that, as claimed, the International Criminal Court is seeking him for war crimes and genocide.
