Bosnian Protesters Blame Baby's Death On Passport Delays

SARAJEVO — Protesters in Sarajevo have covered a mock tomb in front of the parliament building with a black blanket to commemorate the death of a baby girl that they blame on red tape.

The protesters claim that bureaucratic hurdles prevented the girl from undergoing stem-cell surgery abroad that could have saved her life.

The demonstration on October 17 came a day after months-old Belmina Ibrisevic died in a German clinic.

She was forced to wait to travel to Germany for a bone-marrow transplant because Bosnian authorities could not assign her an identification number.
