Sarajevo residents gather in support of Memic family

The Memic family claimed, for the past two years, that their son, Dzenan Memic, was murdered and not killed in a car accident as the Sarajevo Canton’s Public Prosecutor said, which is why they requested that the investigation is taken over by the state-level institutions.

Muriz Memic, the young man’s father, said that “top state officials” are allegedly behind his son’s murder. He asked Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency Chairman Bakir Izetbegovic who killed his son.

"I’m asking Bakir Izetbegovic: Who killed our Dzenan? He knows Dzenan was his any mine. I cried in front of him, thinking he would be able to do something for Dzenan. He didn’t," Memic said in front of several hundred Sarajevo residents who gathered in front of the Sarajevo National Theatre, in the centre of the city.

He announced he would file a criminal complaint against a number of police officers who worked on the case of his son’s death.

He also announced a new protest gathering on October 5, in Sarajevo. These protests will not be officially announced to the authorities because he said he was "tired of all the red tape."

This new, unofficial protest gathering would be held only two days before the general election on Bosnia, which is set for October 7, but also on the same day when Davor Dragicevic, the father of the deceased David Dragicevic who also died under unresolved circumstances, announced his own protest gathering in Banjaluka.
