SARAJEVO - A group of Libyan citizens briefly took over Libya's embassy in Bosnia on Monday, raised the rebels' tricolour flag and demanded that the ambassador resign, before police removed them peacefully.

Former embassy employee, Amira Berma told The Associated Press that the ambassador Salem A. A. Finnir was a die-hard Gadhafi supporter and should resign.

Berma was among a dozen protesters who entered the building demanding that the ambassador surrenders the embassy to them.

Police removed the protesters from the embassy building peacefully.

Berma said Finnir would inform Tripoli about any sign of disloyalty among staff, which always resulted in harassment of their families back in Libya.
