The association for the victims of the genocide and witnesses is behind the manifestation. In a statement published by Bosnian media, the association explains that the reason for the manifestation is that "The Nobel Committee has decided to award the Literature Prize to Peter Handke, who has openly justified and supported war criminals and war crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina".

In an email to DN, the association's president Murat Tahirović confirms the manifestation and declares it to be peaceful.

Hovet: The visit planned for a long time

The demonstration takes place on the same day as Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel and Deputy Prime Minister Isabella Lövin (MP) begin their visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states for DN that the manifestation does not affect the visit.

- We know that the trip, on the basis of the literature prize, arouses feelings. This official visit has been planned with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a long time, says Margareta Thorgren, head of information at the court, to DN.
