18:11 WASHINGTON - Editor-in-Chief of the Washington daily Defense and Foreign Affairs Gregory Copley said in a report presented to Tanjug that the Republika Srpska government had been forced to draw up a report on the developments in Srebrenica in July 1995, which is essentially in conformity with claims by Islamist groups.

The Office of the High Representative for Bosnia had threatened the Srpska government that it would be dissolved if it refused to draw up that document, which does not reflect the true situation as shown by forensic investigation carried out in Srpska or the results of an independent investigation carried out by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Copley said.
