Such anxiety is only exacerbated by the government's reluctance to pass an amnesty law for Serbs and Croats who fought against the Muslims in the war. The law, which is essential for reconciliation between the rival ethnic camps, failed to pass muster in Bosnia's parliament last month. It will be reviewed this week...
