BELGRADE (Sputnik) – "Interior Ministry possesses particular information that some radical circles, in particular Wahhabis, can endanger facilities and venues of the referendum voting. The republic’s police after obtaining that information, increased the level of security, meaning the armed officers would be at the scene,” Lukac said, as quoted by the local RTRS TV broadcaster.
The tensions in the country have been rising, ahead of the referendum, set to be held on Sunday. The residents of Srpska Republika will be offered to approve or refuse the proposal to hold annual celebrations of the nations' Independence Day on January 9.
The Republika Srpska does not agree to celebrate the national day of Bosnia and Herzegovina on March 1, as on that day in 1992, the Bosnian parliament proclaimed the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina from Yugoslavia without the presence of Bosnian Serbs. Also, March 1 is marked by the mass killing of Serbs in Sarajevo.
