GOVERNMENT AND INTERIOR MINISTRY COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING SATISFACTORY SECURITY SITUATION

PALE, AUGUST 5 /SRNA/ – Republika Srpska Interior Minister Željko Budimir has said today that the Government and the Ministry of Interior are committed to maintaining a satisfactory security situation in Republika Srpska and stressed that organised crime will not be allowed to take matters into its own hands.

Budimir said at a press conference in Pale that the security situation had been disrupted by two attempted murders in the AOR of the Istočno Sarajevo Police Administration, which is why an increased police presence can be expected.

"An operational task force has also been established to deal with the conflict between /Darko/ Elez and /Đorđe/ Ždrale, who is currently at large," Budimir said.

He added that the Republika Srpska Police are cooperating with law enforcement agencies in the FBiH and that there is information indicating that Đorđe Ždrale is on the territory of that entity.
