The Interior Ministry of the Heerzegovina-Neretva Canton has filed a suit with the Bosnia-Herzegovina Prosecution against three Kurds, Turkish citizens, who stayed in Mostar illegally and during the weekend brutally bludgeoned Asmir Gujic, 27, from Sarajevo. Gujic, from whom they stole a mobile telephone, was rushed to hospital where he was admitted for severe bodily harm.

The motives for this incident are not known.
