Really, Bosnia?

As Donal Lynch so eloquently states in his piece in the Independent, the thought that Bono may have his Bosnian passport revoked because of mere ‘legal’ technicalities is absurd. Bono (and of course, U2) cared about the citizens of the war in ways politicians of the time did not.

But apparently intentions/actions aren’t too important to those caught up in bureaucracy.

The same type of passport was taken from Swedish politician Margaret Viklund in 2008. She was given the grand gesture in recognition for her humanitarian work with Bosnian refugees.

Perhaps it’s time for some of their laws to be changed?
