Bosnian Serb government

Bosnians will gather in Banja Luka on Saturday for another mass protest over the unresolved case of David Dragicevic, the 21-year-old whose death has become a rallying cause for opponents of the Bosnian Serb government.

A Tweet on Friday, suggesting that Bosnia's mainly Serb entity could recognise Catalonia's independence from Spain has caused confusion in Bosnia.

"I have already submitted a motion to parliament. Republika Srpska could be the first country to recognize Catalonia's independence," the Twitter message, purportedly belonging to RS Prime Minister Zeljka Cvijanovic, read.

Parents planning to boycott schools in protest at the Bosnian Serb government’s renaming of the Bosnian language as ‘Bosniak’ said that a compromise offered by officials was unacceptable.

Dozens of Bosniak parents will send their children to a temporary educational establishment instead of regular schools in protest at the Bosnian Serb government’s renaming of the Bosnian language as ‘Bosniak’.

The weekend violence in Macedonia has sent a wave of anxiety across the volatile Balkan region - and the ripple effect seems greatest in Bosnia, which remains troubled by its own recent militant attack.

Less than two weeks before violence erupted in Kumanovo, Macedonia, a radical Islamist attacked a police station in the eastern Bosnian town of Zvornik.

One police officer is dead and two have been left wounded after an alleged Islamist attack in Zvornik, northeastern Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The gunman, identified as Nerdin Ibric, parked his car by the police station, got out and opened fire shouting "Allahu Akbar", according to BalkanInsight.

Ibric was also killed in the shootout with police that followed.
