ISRAELI PASSPORTS FROM SARAJEVO - IN THE TRASH OR ALREADY IN IRAN?

EAST SARAJEVO, AUGUST 19 /SRNA/ – Counter-terrorism expert Dževad Galijašević claims that the disappearance of the passports of Israeli tourists who stayed in Sarajevo was a joint operation of Iranian services in BiH and a demonstration of loyalty to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is unequivocally expressed by the joint institutions in Sarajevo under Muslim control.
"Although Israel's protection mechanisms and system are effective and have already taken protective measures inside the country, after this special operation we can expect strikes on Israel's national interests – diplomatic and economic missions in countries that are Israel's partners and cooperate with the Jewish state," Galijašević told SRNA. He reminded that on Friday, August 15, a total of 47 Israeli tourists who stayed in a Sarajevo hotel discovered that their passports were missing and that hotel staff had allegedly, by mistake, thrown them into a garbage bin. Because of this, Galijašević said, they remained blocked in BiH for more than a week until the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued them new documents. Among the tourists whose documents were thrown away there were also citizens of other countries. The group was supposed to return to Israel on Saturday, August 16, but could not board the flight and was forced to stay in the hotel. "To support this version of the story, the `wise Sarajevo intelligence officers` made sure that a hotel camera recorded the moment when the passports `accidentally` ended up in the trash bin. This version, as the `official truth,` has already been accepted by the dim-witted followers of social events in BiH," Galijašević said. He pointed out that there is no continuous footage showing what happened with the passports until they allegedly ended up in the garbage containers, so there is no recording confirming their path to the city landfill. According to him, this special Iranian operation was preceded by many asymmetric and intelligence activities in Sarajevo, revealing that the city is a base where Iranian services can operate without restriction. He emphasized that the alleged disposal of passports, by its audacity and significance, represents a demonstration of Iranian power in Sarajevo and partnership with the Muslim community within the structures of government. "These facts were indicated by the agreement on expanding military cooperation that Defense Minister Zukan Helez negotiated with Iranian structures, which was allegedly scrapped under pressure from the US leadership, but in principle gained the status of deep conspiracy," Galijašević stressed. He added that what followed were anti-Jewish rallies in Sarajevo with public support for Palestinians and Iran, and finally an action in which a gathering of European rabbis in that city was banned. "This time there was no ban, but the passports, as a valuable tool and weapon for conducting special operations, simply disappeared into a trash bin," Galijašević noted. He said that there is a noticeable concentration of Iranian terrorist and intelligence infrastructure in the region, which, according to Western security assessments, poses a serious threat to regional stability as well as European security. "There is certainly a dilemma – how, from where, and since when did Shiite Iran position itself among Sunni Muslims in the risky part of BiH that constitutes the Bosniak-Croat Federation?" Galijašević asked. He pointed out that BiH, in the projection of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is an important springboard for Europe, as well as a bridge to Sunni Muslims who view Bosnian Muslims with reverence. "Iran will never renounce its positions in BiH nor its ambitions to act strongly through it in Europe and among Sunnis. For Iran, Bosnian Muslims are precisely the `Trojan horse` for entering both worlds, which are traditionally, historically, and culturally embedded in the identity of Bosnian Muslims," Galijašević said. Following the opening of the conflict with Israel and U.S.-British forces in the region, Galijašević added, it is only a matter of time before Iran opens a front in BiH against the West – for this conflict, Iran has a sufficiently strong potential which has so far been largely underestimated. "Bosniaks in the Balkans have been and remain `Iran's proxy` forces capable of undermining Western policy in various ways, including with such anti-Semitic messages as throwing Jewish passports into the trash," Galijašević warned.
