11. SOUNDBITE: (Bosnian) Amira Berma, Libyan national, former employee of Libyan embassy:
"We stormed into the embassy because our people moved into Tripoli yesterday. It is chaotic in Tripoli, so we figured no one can look for us, and attack our families, and that''s why we decided to move in today. We also want to make a statement that we are in favour of change. I think there are no Libyans who love Gadhafi. He never gave us anything. I was born in 1989 and I can tell you that we never had any rights in Libya."
(Reporter: "Are there going to be any changes?")
"We are hoping for change. I don''t think it could ever be the same, there must be change in Libya. I''m sure it will be better for people in Libya, I hope we will have proper education there, and I''m sure society in Libya will progress now."

STORYLINE
A group of Libyan citizens briefly took over Libya''s embassy in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on Monday, raising the rebels'' tricolour flag and demanding that the ambassador resign, before police removed them peacefully.
Former embassy employee, Amira Berma, told The Associated Press that the Libyan ambassador to Bosnia, 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 surrender the embassy to them.
Berma said Finnir would inform Tripoli about any sign of disloyalty among staff, which always resulted in harassment of their families back in Libya.
But she said the rebels'' advance on Tripoli rendered her and other Libyans fearless.
"It is chaotic in Tripoli, so we figured no one can look for us, and attack our families, and that''s why we decided to move in today," she told AP outside the embassy.
"We also want to make a statement that we are for change. I think there are no Libyans who love Gadhafi. He never gave us anything. I was born in 1989 and I can tell you that we never had any rights in Libya," Berma added.
Leaders across Europe welcomed the rebels'' dramatic advances in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, after six months of fighting, and urged Gadhafi to surrender and avoid a bloodbath.
Hundreds of Libyans living abroad celebrated in the streets, burning images of the Libyan strongman.
