So why is there no clause in the law that states this specifically. Legally, clear as day, it's written. If the city wishes to allow it, they should amend the law to say so. If they don't, that's as good as affirmation of their perogative, especially now with this publicity.

Furthermore, the motivation to do that might be helped by the authors exposure of their tactics, justifying any sensationalism. No lies are written in this article.

Even if only for pedantic reasons, a law should clearly state it's interpretation. Leaving it up to arbitrary discretion is a slippery slope, and a good way to find yourself in a censorship situation.

It's all unreasonable and paranoia until you get a cease-and-decist.




The law does specify it when it: "Legal and private entities".

A blog post about Sarajevo can mention the city's name without falling under this law. The blogpost's title and introduction are simply wrong.

Screaming wolves doesn't help the case of the facebook page, sensationalism cannot be justified here.


Where do you draw the legal entity line between a facebook page and a blog entry?
