The Mayor of Zenica, Fuad Kasumović, during the signing of the contract on the warming of residential buildings on August 24, in the Great Hall of the City of Zenica, mentioned the BH Journalists Association in an extremely insulting and inappropriate way, saying that he was “attacked by some associations there” to whom he can only say “bugger off”. This verbal attack took place in front of the media representatives, among whom was a member of the Steering Committee of BH journalists, whom Kasumović also publicly called out.
