Zvornik, 10 April: Four Serb employees of the Zvornikputevi [road maintenance]
company who were attacked and beaten up by a group of Bosniaks [Bosnian Muslims]
on Friday [8 April] have been discharged from a medical centre in Zvornik and
will continue to receive treatment at home.
The workers were attacked as they were carrying out maintenance work on a
regional road going through Setici in the Zvornik municipality in the [Bosnian]
Serb Republic [RS].
"Without any provocation, a gang of around 20 Bosniaks from the village of
Nezuci, in the Sapna municipality of the Bosnia-Hercegovina Federation, began to
beat us with anything they could get their hands on - wire cables, stones and
hands - and they were joined by another group of Bosniaks who arrived in three
vehicles," the workers told the media in the RS.
The doctors on duty at the medical centre in Zvornik confirmed that the workers
had sustained injuries to their head and body caused by blunt objects.
