| Mostar: Europe's Failure The Memorandum of Understanding signed on 10 June 1994 in Brussels, which brought the European Union and Hans Koschnik to Mostar, offered a basis for the city's unification. However, given that a unified Mostar could become a prototype for a united Bosnia- Herzegovina, those who wish to see Bosnia dissolved have pursued a policy of persistent obstruction of the Memorandum provisions. more > Herzeg-Lager In July 1993 university professor Fahrudin Rizvanbegovic was arrested as a civilian in his home town of Stolac and sent to the HVO 'collection centre' at Dretelj. He spent six months altogether in the camps at Dretelj and Ljubuski witnessing brutal interrogations, starvation and murder. The inmates included thirteen-year-old children and men of seventy. The children could be seen gradually changing their physiognomy, acquiring the faces we have seen on photographs from Dachau, Kolima and Omarska. After his release, Professor Rizvanbegovic spent some time in Zagreb, then went to Sarajevo. He is now minister of education in the government of the Federation of Bosnia- Herzegovina. more > home | about us | publications | news | contact | bosnia | search | bosnia report
