Bosnian president rides to rescue
The couple said their baby would be named after Mr Komsic
One of Bosnia's three-member presidency has helped a woman in labour by escorting her car to hospital at high speed with his motorcade.
Zeljko Komsic noticed a distressed couple driving fast near the town of Maglaj late on Saturday.
Suad Ibrahimovic said he and his wife, Jasminka, were so grateful that they would name the baby after him.
Bosnia's presidency rotates between Mr Komsic, a Croat, and Serb and Bosnian Muslim representatives.
Complications
When Mr Komsic noticed the couple, Mr Ibrahimovic explained their predicament and the president ordered his vehicles to escort the car at speed.
[A Catholic Croat helping a fellow Slav who happens to be a Muslim.
That is like the old spirit of Sarajevo. God bless you, sir.]
