At least 250,000 Serbs, originally from the Federation, could be left without land, forests and other property, due to the application of Article 58 of the FBiH Law on Real Rights – warns the President of the Committee for the Protection of Serb Rights in that entity, Đorđe Radanović. The disputed article allows the persons who have been using Serb-owned land illegally for ten, in some cases 20 years, to become owners of that property.
