Hakija Turajlić, the first Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina,[1] was Killed in action on Friday 8 January 1993, in Sarajevo.[2][3] Turajlić was shot 7–8 times by a Serb soldier with an AK-47 after a French officer working for the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) officer opened the door to the armoured personnel carrier in which Turajlić was sitting in.[4]
Background edit
Turajlić went to visit Orhan Sefa Kilercioğlu, a Turkish politician accompanying shipment, who was located at the Sarajevo International Airport.[5] Serb shells were constantly firing on the road connecting Sarajevo to the airport, so Turajlić had to pass through Serb-held territory, in which the UNPROFOR was supposed to provide protection.[5]
Details edit
Shootout edit
Thirty Serb soldiers with two Serb tanks, located at the "Sierra 4" checkpoint in Kasindolska Street, stopped the UN convoy a few kilometers from the airport. A 90-minute standoff occurred afterwards, in which the French UNPROFOR forces did not follow orders from other UNPROFOR forces, and obeyed orders from the Serb soldiers.[5]
French forces opened the armoured personnel carrier door in which Turajlić was sitting in. A Serb soldier opened fire at the open door, and fire 8 rounds in total, seven to Turajlić's chest, and one to his head, fatally killing him in the process.[5] Five other French soldiers were pulled out of the APC, and were also killed. Turajlić died in the UN headquarters after the shootout.
Arrest of Goran Vasić edit
In 1998, residents in Dobrinja built a wall around ten meters long after Bosnian police entered a Bosnian Serb suburb to arrest Goran Vasić.[6] He was then arrested in his car while on a accused smuggling trip,[4] but later acquitted in 2002.[7][8]

Quote:"A Sarajevo court has convicted a Bosnian Serb soldier of committing war crimes against prisoners but acquitted him of killing the country's deputy prime minister. Goran Vasić was sentenced to 4½ years in prison, local media reported. He was convicted on charges of beating prisoners at the Medjarici camp in Sarajevo during the country's 1992–1995 war. The court said it lacked evidence to convict him of killing Hakija Turajlić, the deputy prime minister of Bosnia in 1992."
