Three thousand people, mostly mothers and babies in prams, surrounded the Bosnian Parliament in Sarajevo on June 6 to demand MPs pass a law providing a unique identification number for all Bosnia and Herzegovina citizens.
The bill is being blocked by Republika Srpska delegates, who want a specific code for their region, explains Oslobođenje.
Children born since the previous law on the Bosnian identification documents expired in February, have no official documents and cannot leave the country. The protests were sparked by the case of an infant that needed treatment abroad.
