Bosnian Serbs defy a ban on Srebrenica genocide denial imposed by the international peace overseer and pass a law under which those who call their entity 'genocidal' risk lengthy jail terms

The parliament of the Serb Republic unanimously adopted amendments to its own criminal law aimed against the decree by outgoing High Representative Valentin Inzko and decided not to cooperate with central authorities in its implementation. The Bosnian Serb amendments envision jail terms of up to five years for those who "disparage or label the Serb Republic or its people as genocidal or aggressor," and 15 years for acts against its "constitution, integrity and independence," the parliament said in a statement.

In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces seized the UN-protected enclave of Srebrenica in the country's east and killed about 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys they took prisoner.The atrocity was judged an act of genocide by two international courts, something Serb nationalists vehemently deny.
