The Saajevo Film Festival sent a message of support from its official website to a retired war-time Bosnian Muslim army general. Jovan Divjak was arrested in Vienna on a Serbian warrant over the Dobrovoljacka St. massacre, when a retreating convoy of Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) was attacked in early May 1992. Sarajevo festival supports war crimes suspect "This year the Sarajevo Film Festival is left without one special program. Our guests will not tour the former city defense lines, because our friend Jovan Divjak is not with us," says the official website. The release adds that Divjak, who was "born in Belgrade, but chose to live in Sarajevo," is a "true legend of the city and holder of many awards, including the French Legion of Honor, and a man with a big heart." The festival in Sarajevo is taking place from July 22 to 30. Divjak was released after posting EUR 500,000 in bail, and the Austrian judicial bodies are in the process of deciding whether to extradite him to Serbia or Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Zapad zapretio, Kina uzvratila

Kina je usvojila zakon o carinama kojim želi da osnaži mehanizme odbrane svoje ekomonije nakon pretnji Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Evropske unije da će reagovati na izvoz jeftinih kineskih proizvoda.
