Police stopped beating politicians and singers

The birthday party of the famous surgeon from Sarajevo, Jusuf Sabanovic, on Monday night at the restaurant “Golf” in the city of Miljacka, attended by many pop artists and politicians, caused a real storm in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Singers Halid Beslic, Hari Varesanovic, Serif Konjevic, Semir Ceric Koke and Sladjana Mandic, as well as businessman Zijad Blekić and the dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Nihad Fejzić, but also the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, Stasa Košarac, otherwise a member of the SNSD, the strongest party in RS.

In a statement to the Sarajevo media, Hari Varešanović said he was ready to take responsibility and that he came with the best of intentions, only to congratulate his friend on his birthday. Sheriff Konjevic was much tougher on his statement. He said he went to his birthday to give the doctor a gift, that he is his friend, and that there were not many people.

– I only went to give the doctor a gift, since Juka is my great friend – Konjevic said for “Avaz”. – There were not many people, I started singing, and not two complete songs, I sat down and gave him a gift. When I sang “My Life”, which was the doctor’s wish, I said goodbye and left.

The singer said that he is ashamed of the state because of “the situation last night”, because he loves his country and all the people who live in it:

– I’m not ashamed of individuals. When I saw alcohol, I didn’t even want to sing, because it’s Ramadan. I don’t want to be a part of that, he is respected in my house, my wife is a believer and I will not allow myself to be part of anyone’s drunkenness. They got mad when I left. And those who filmed, let them be honest.

The epilogue to the birthday party in Sarajevo is the removal of celebrant Dr. Šabanović from the post of chief of abdominal surgery at the UCC in Sarajevo, and Nihad Fejzić of the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Health was also replaced.

Ismir Jusko, Minister of the Interior of the Sarajevo Canton, stated that all participants in the party were issued a 500 KM (around 30,000 dinar) misdemeanor order, while the owner of the facility faces a fine of 2,000 at 10,000 KM (120,000 to 600,000 dinars).

– The police interrupted the meeting at the “Golf” restaurant, where Dr. Shabanovic’s birthday was being celebrated. In addition to the 16 found, three more people were identified, who participated in the party at the catering service, Minister Jusko said.

DODIK: THE BASKETBALL IS OVER!

MILORAD Dodik, president of the SNSD, said that Minister Stasa Kosarac “attended the end of his political journey” by attending a private party in Sarajevo, where the protection measures and recommendations valid during the coronavirus epidemic were not respected, and that “There is no dilemma.” Dodik, who is also a Serbian member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency, said Košarac is not and can no longer be his closest associate, and that the SNSD distances himself from his actions, which he firmly rejects and does not accept. Minister Stasa Kosarac apologized to the public for his behavior and said he was ready to take responsibility.
