Bono 'to lose Bosnian passport'

Bono could reportedly be stripped of his Bosnian passport by the country's government, after it was awarded to him by a previous administration.

Late president Alija Izetbegovic honoured the singer in recognition of his campaign work for the war-ravaged country when U2 performed in the capital Sarajevo in 1997.

The 'Magnificent' star recently spoke of the honour during the band's performance in neighbouring nation Croatia, describing it as one of his most treasured possessions - prompting the Bosnian government to renege on the decision to issue a passport to a non-citizen.

Civil affairs minister Sredoje Novic told Contactmusic: "If we establish that a passport was given outside a regular legal procedure, we will have no other option but to take it away. We cut no slack to anybody, not even for Bono."
