SARAJEVO,Bosnia - The Bosnian State Court expressed concerns over continuous and attacks without any basis against this institution. All those comments have been made by politicians. The political leader of the Serbians living in Bosnia,Milorad Dodik commented in the media on August 10 and 11 the work of the Bosnian judiciary institutions. The Court is of the opinion that this was an attempt of pressure against the work of this institution.

”Although the Bosnian State Court does not have any statistics related to the ethnicity of the indictees, a simple overview of the verdicts in the cases of war crimes and organized crime, would show that the allegations of Mr. Dodik are incorrect. As a reminder, he stated that only certina nationalities are processed at the Bosnian State Court. All those documents are public and available to the citizens”, the Bosnian State Court announced.

The Court has also emphasized that all activities are in accordance with the indictments and nobody can influence the “selection of indictees”. Independent and objective decision on any case should be passed by the prosecutor in charge, not by media representatives or politicians.

Otherwise, the Court might face with the indictments that have been raised against some persons without enough of evidence. In those cases, passing the not-guilty verdicts would mean an enormous waste of money for the Bosnian state.

”Attacks of the politicians and accusations related to the Bosnian state Court’s objectivity in certain cases were made without any prior analysis of judiciary sector’s work. They create mistrust and fear in the eyes of the citizens”, the announcement states.

It has been emphasized that the Bosnian politicians should not deal with the criminal procedures. They should insist on creating and maintaining preconditions for judiciary institutions’ righteous work.

The Bosnian State Court has already been a target to the attacks made by politicians mostly.

”This institutions has shown a number of times that the indictees and suspects are all treated equally in the eyes of the law and that nobody will be denied the right for a fair trial. Nobody will be treated differently because of his or her nationality. These are the principles this institution will always maintain and will not give them up regardless of all the pressures and circumstances”, the Court announced.

The Bosnian State Court emphasized to have already rejected several demands for passing the information on the indictees’ ethnicity and nationality.

SARAJEVO,Bosnia - FC Dynamo Kyiv put poor domestic form behind them in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round as Maksim Shatskikh scored the only goal at the Olympic Stadium Asim Ferhatovic Hase in Sarajevo to leave FC Sarajevo with it all to do when the tie concludes in Ukraine.

With his side sitting a lowly eleventh in the Premier League after taking just six points from their opening five games, Dynamo coach Anatoliy Demyanenko responded by leaving Brazilian duo Diogo Rincón and Kleber on the bench and pushing the promising Michael into a more advanced role alongside Shatskikh. Save for a fourth-minute strike by Admir Raščić that was ruled offside, it was plain sailing for Dynamo early on and they scored what proved to be the only goal on 13 minutes when Michael fed a lovely pass to Shatskikh who burst into the box and found the roof of the net with a fierce rising drive.

The away goal allowed Dynamo to relax and the Ukrainian champions played some lovely controlled football to frustrate their hosts, who would have fallen further behind in the 20th minute had Muhamed Alaim not pulled off a wonder save to keep out an Andriy Nesmachniy cross-shot. The Sarajevo goalkeeper also denied Michael when the Brazilian was one-on-one ten minutes later, while Olexandr Shovkovskiy was enjoying a more comfortable evening at the other end.

Sarajevo had the greater possession in the second half without creating the kind of opportunities that twice fell Serhiy Rebrov's way – the Dynamo forward squandering a header when well placed, then narrowly failing to connect with a super pass from Michael. Still, Demyanenko was concerned and the introduction of Miloš Ninković and Kleber for Oleh Gusev and Shatskikh enabled Dynamo to reassert control before Almir Turković volleyed straight at Shovkovskiy on 72 minutes.

Dynamo might have wrapped up the tie in the final minute as the impressive Michael drove a shot against the post.
