The court declared the applicant's appeal admissible and annulled the immigration authority's decision regarding his refugee status. The applicant argued he feared persecution in Bosnia-Herzegovina, citing military stamps in his diary as proof of joining the Bosnian-Serbian army. The court found the authority's failure to investigate the meaning and date of these stamps constituted negligence, warranting the annulment. Consequently, the authority was ordered to issue a new decision after conducting proper inquiries.
