Protestors demonstrate lack of security

[Djamila]

Protestors from the Painted Revolution group managed to carry out simultaneous vandalism attacks in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina's major cities today.

The group, which became infamous in September for targetting government buildings and officials with paint-filled balloons, managed to scale some of the most heavily guarded government and business structures in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As a sample:

SARAJEVO

BANJA LUKA

BRCKO

TUZLA

Passers-by in all four cities were largely supportive of the protests, which was reported even by those Bosnian media networks loyal to the current government (It would be like FOX News reporting Iraq was in the middle of a civil war).

Paint balloons? How creative.

What are they protesting?

I don't think anyone really knows. I've seen three of their spokespeople on the news (one woman gave her "press conference" while she was being carried away by police, lol) and not one said the same things.

I can tell you they're a mainly youth group. They want Bosnian universities (more of them, anyway) validated in Western Europe (our programs were ranked better than theirs when we were part of Yugoslavia, now the same programs aren't good enough? Kiss our Balkan behinds you *******), more opportunities for youth, less corruption in government, end to nationalism, yadda yadda yadda.

Some of them want our own President Ahmadinejad, but most are secular it seems.
