Bosnian Schools Boycott Over Language Row Spreads

Parents of some 130 Bosniak children from a primary school in Krizevici near the eastern Bosnian town of Zvornik have joined a schools boycott in a dispute over the name of their language.

Pupils remained outside class as protests grew against the decision of the Republika Srpska government to rename the Bosnian language "Bosniak".
