What is happening? Bomb alert in Sarajevo courts, authorities surround the areas

All employees of the courts in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina have been evacuated from the buildings of the institutions where they work.

This came after a person made a phone call to the police saying he had planted a bomb.

Because he did not specify in which court he placed the bomb, the police are conducting inspections in all courts, continuing with the Constitutional, Supreme, Municipal and Cantonal Courts.

"An unknown person made a phone call today to report that he had planted a bomb in the 'court in Sarajevo.' Since it has not been specified which court it is about, all the courts have been evacuated, the facilities are being secured and anti-sabotage inspections", confirmed the spokeswoman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, KS Mersiha Novaliç.

Local media report that the person who made the call that raised the alarm in the country's courts has not yet been identified.
