Bosnia: Passports Of 330 Naturalised Citizens Withdrawn

9 Jan. 207 Sarajevo:

The Bosnian authorities have revoked the citizenship granted to 330 foreigners during the 1992-1995 Bosnian civil war, the president of Bosnia's ad hoc state commission, Vjekoslav Vukovic, said on Tuesday. The commission has in the past seven months examined over 900 cases with a further 500 still to be scrutinised before the commission winds up its work next month, Vukovic told Dnevni avaz daily. Foreigners from African, Asian and European countries have lost their Bosnian citizenship because they had breached immigration procedures, Vukovic stated.
