    During the signing of the contract on the heating of residential buildings on August 24, in the Great Hall of the City of Zenica, the mayor of Zenica Fuad Kasumović referred to the BH Journalists Association in an extremely insulting and inappropriate manner, saying that “some associations are attacking him”, and that he can only say to them “go away”. 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.
