Earlier on Wednesday, Mektic told N1 that nine suspected terrorists, alleged members of the so-called ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS) will be deported from Syria, for a trial in Bosnia, after State authorities issued an international arrest warrant or them.

Mektic told N1 that the deportation was originally planned for tomorrow, Thursday, but it was postponed due to latest developments in Syria where Turkey announced it would send its army into the north of Syria.
