Bosnian foreign minister steps down, citing new war crimes sanctions

[JURIST] Bosnian Foreign Minister, Mladen Ivanic, stepped down Saturday, one day after Bosnian Serb Prime Minister Dragan Mikerevic resigned. Ivanic, also a Serb, cited new international sanctions against the Bosnian Serbs for their lack of cooperation in solving war crimes as the reason for his resignation. The International High Representative in Bosnia, Paddy Ashdown, and the United States had on Thursday imposed the sanctions against the Bosnian Serbs over their lack of cooperation in bringing those indicted for war crimes to justice. Ivanic warned journalists that there would be more resignations from the Party of Democratic Progress (PDP). AFP has more.
