Bosnia appeals UN court's ruling clearing Serbia of genocide

Bosnia is to ask the United Nations' top court to review its 2007 ruling that cleared Serbia of genocide during the 1990s civil war.


Bakir Izetbegovic, a member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, said the request will be submitted before 26 February, when the 10-year deadline for appealing expires.

The appeal will be initiated despite a lack of consent from his Croat and Serb counterparts in the presidency.

Many officials in Bosnia had argued against the move, saying it could spark a new political crisis in the country.

Some Bosnian Serbs have said they will consider a boycott of central institutions over the move to show their opposition.
