Bosnian Serbs celebrate nationalist holiday despite ban

Bosnian Serb nationalists celebrated the anniversary of their autonomous region’s 1992 declaration of independence over the weekend. That declaration had sparked the four-year war in the country in the ‘90s. The commemorations took place despite the country’s constitutional court’s ban on the celebration, as well as the US slapping sanctions on Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik. The World’s Carol Hills spoke with Hikmet Karcic, a Bosnian academic and researcher, about the celebrations and where he sees things headed in Bosnia in the near future.
