(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, APRIL 26 - The CIA deputy director, Vaughn Bishop, on his unannounced official visit to Bosnia, met today in Sarajevo with the director of the Intelligence-Security Agency of Bosnia (OSA), Osman Mehmedbasic, and then the security minister Dragan Mektic. Bishop should later meet the leaders of the Bosnian police agencies and the Republika Srpska security minister Dragan Lukac is also arriving in Sarajevo. According to media rumors, the talks will mainly focus on the issue of recent scandals related to unsolved murders. During the day, traffic in Sarajevo was blocked several times due to the passage of the US delegation and a greater presence of police officers is visible in the streets. This is the second important visit paid to Bosnia by the CIA heads: in 2016 the then director John O. Brennan arrived in Sarajevo and had a meeting with Osman Mehmedbasic. (ANSA).
