Sarajevo: Vandals destroyed bust of Alois Mock
Unknown perpetrators have destroyed a bust of former Austrian Foreign Minister Alois Mock (ÖVP) in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen As the Italian news agency ANSA reported on Monday, this was not the first act of vandalism against the monument erected in Kemal Monteno Park. While the bust had only been knocked off its pedestal in previous attacks, this time the perpetrators had completely destroyed it.
The bust of former Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki was stolen from the municipal park in November. Only the monument in honor of the former international Bosnia envoy Paddy Ashdown is still intact.
Former Vice-Chancellor and Foreign Minister Mock, who died in 2017, campaigned for the republics striving for independence, including Bosnia-Herzegovina, during the disintegration process of communist Yugoslavia (1991-95).
Mock is particularly revered in Croatia, where streets are named after him. The monument in Sarajevo was unveiled in February 2020.
