Hakija Turajlić

[2] On 8 January 1993, Turajlić went to Sarajevo International Airport to greet Orhan Sefa Kilercioğlu who had accompanied an aid shipment from Turkey.

The UN convoy which was taking Turajlić to Sarajevo was stopped by Serb soldiers at a roadblock a few kilometers from the airport.

[4][5] His death strained relations between the Bosnian government and UNPROFOR and was also the reason that peace talks in Geneva were cancelled.

The United Nations and the Serbs both refused to cooperate with the Bosnian government investigation and help find the killer.

A boxing tournament, Memorijal Hakija Turajlić, takes place in Sarajevo every year in his honor.
