Reacting in part to news that one of the region's most wanted war crimes fugitives had been raising toasts to his comrades in a Bosnian Serb military shelter as recently as June, Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH) top international official on Thursday (16 December) sacked nine Bosnian Serb officials and ordered the abolition of BiH's two entity defence ministries by next year.
Reagujući delom i na vesti da je jedan od najtraženijih haških optuženika u regionu sve do prošlog juna nazdravljao sa svojim drugovima u jednom bunkeru vojske bosanskih Srba, izaslanik međunarodne zajednice u BiH u četvrtak (16. decembra) smenio je devet zvaničnika RS i naredio ukidanje ministarstava odbrane oba entiteta do iduće godine.
