The following is a documentary by the French director and journalist Julien Tridat who investigated the issue of the infamous ‘dog catchers’ of P.E. “Lokum” of Novi Grad who Dalida Kozlic and others have been trying to bring to justice. Dalida and other rescuers are interviewed in the film:
The blurb to the video says: “Since the end of the war in Bosnia in 1995, it is estimated that more than 100,000 stray dogs were killed in Sarajevo. While taking care of abandoned animals was not the center of attention Bosnian authorities during the rebuilding of the ruined city, in recent years, under pressure from the European Union, they introduced strict rules relating to the treatment of stray dogs. However, the situation is not in conformity with what is on paper: Activists for animal care accuse authorities of brutality, corruption and abuse of animals. French journalist Julien Trdat has researched this gripping story of Sarajevo.”
The film has English voice over for the most part, but sadly not for what some of the most notorious killers of dogs said when interviewed (eg Mustafa Mrkulić), but the voice over explains the situation very well.
