Saudi prince in Bosnia

Prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz of Saudi Arabia is in Bosnia to open cultural and religious centres which his country has financed.

Some five-hundred people, including school-children, met him at Sarajevo airport.

Saudi Arabia has invested about six-hundred-million dollars in various projects in Bosnia, designed mainly to help the Muslim population during the Bosnian war between 1992-95, and its aftermath.
