Evropska unija je zabrinuta zbog činjenice da je u Narodnoj skupštini Republike Srpske usvojen Nacrt zakona o posebnom registru nevladinih organizacija, izjavio je danas u Banjaluci šef Delegacije EU u BiH Johann Sattler, gdje su brojni predstavnici bh. civilnog društva, medija, stručnjaka i međunarodne zajednice pozvali vlasti u ovom entitetu da povuku sporni nacrt zakona.

The Bosnian prosecution charged 15 former guards with crimes against civilians and prisoners of war who were detained at the Military-Investigative Prison in Banja Luka, known as Mali Logor, from 1992 to 1995.

In less than two years, the Banja Luka police has filed at least 160 charges against activists seeking justice in the Dragan Dragicevic case – which experts see this as open intimidation of free citizens by the Bosnian Serb authorities.

The Bosnian Serb authorities presented an award to Austrian Nobel Prize-winner Peter Handke, who has been accused of sympathising with Slobodan Milosevic and downplaying the Srebrenica genocide.

The Republic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity said it is still conducting an investigation into Zikrija Krkic for allegedly financing terrorism, after a Norwegian court jailed him for murder.

The retrial of Aleksandar Radic, who is accused of firing a rocket-propelled grenade at a business centre in Banja Luka, is due to start soon after the original verdict convicting him was quashed.

The Supreme Court in Bosnia’s Republika Srpska entity has yet to hold a session to discuss the prosecution’s appeal against the verdict acquitting Milan Macura of terrorism for allegedly appealing online for people to give him explosives.

Planned sculpture of the Nobel prize-winner – known for his strongly pro-Serbian views and denial of the Srebrenica genocide – becomes the latest source of discord in the divided country.

More than ten streets, squares, parks and public buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been dedicated to war crime convicts and defendants like Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, research by BIRN has found.

Bosnia asked Sweden to take over the case against Serb ex-soldier Sinisa Milojcic, who is accused of rape and other wartime crimes, but Swedish law says he can’t be prosecuted now because he was under 21 at the time of the offence.
