Bosnian health workers go on strike

"We, the health workers ask citizens for understanding and solidarity, so that we can, with joint efforts, force the federation government to finally take the problems in the health sector seriously and create a new action plan," the union statement said.

Medical workers in Bosnia have an average salary of EUR 400 and the salaries in each of the federation's 10 cantons differ.

"The difficult financial situation of some of the doctors in the federation has put doctors on the edge of existence," the union said.

Federation officials declined to comment on the strike, which will continue until an action plan is created, according to the union.

The peace agreement that ended the 1992-95 war left the country divided into a Muslim-Croat federation and a Bosnian Serb mini-state. Each has its own government, ministries and police and the two parts are  linked only by joint state institutions, like the country's three-member presidency.
