Israeli Tourists’ Passports Discarded in Sarajevo Hotel, Authorities Call It Accidental Mistake - Sarajevo Times
Tourists from Israel are stuck in Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely in a hotel in Sarajevo, because the hotel staff threw away their passports, Žarko Laketa, director of the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs, confirmed to BHRT.
Laketa stated that there were 50 tourists involved, and that everything happened by accident.
The tourists were supposed to return to Israel yesterday, but without their passports they could not do so, so they stayed in the hotel. Some passengers expressed doubts that it was not just a mistake.
If it was not just a mistake then what was the real motivation?
Also shouldn’t they be responsible for their own passports? Why is the hotel holding onto them?
It's not uncommon for tourists to leave their passports or other valuables / important stuff with the hotel for safekeeping. Though obviously your experience with this may differ by geography.
Besides potentially antiZionism and/or antisemitism?
