Bosnia claims world kissing record
Organisers of an event in which almost 7,000 couples kissed simultaneously in a Bosnian town on Saturday said their effort deserved a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. A total of 6,980 couples kissed for 10 seconds at the main square of the northeastern town of Tuzla, some 120 kilometres (74 miles) north of Sarajevo, said local radio station Kameleon which organized the event. "Tuzla is the city of love. We are the champions," Kristina Gligorovic, an organiser, told the crowd of some 20,000 people who gathered for the occasion.
Muslim clerics in Tuzla called for a boycott of the event, arguing it was not in line with Muslim tradition. Muslims account for 44 percent of Bosnia's 3.8 million population, the last 1991 census showed.
