Republika Srpska Assembly

Bosnian Serb and Serbian leaders are using tensions over the UK proposal for a UN resolution on Srebrenica for their own political games, an international diplomat told Balkan Insight on Tuesday.

"This is a highly emotional issue ? and local leaders are again playing with fire," the diplomat said.

The assembly of Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity began discussing disputed changes to the law on public peace and order on Tuesday despite a walkout by opposition parties, which accused the government of trying to create a "totalitarian regime".
