Ivanic slams Sarajevo's policy as hypocritical

BELGRADE - Bakir Izetbegovic's statement that Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) will recognise Kosovo's independence reflects the "hypocrisy of Sarajevo's policy", Mladen Ivanic, the Serb member of the BiH Presidency, told Tanjug on Monday.

It is no coincidence the statement was made less than a month before a visit to Belgrade by a BiH delegation, Ivanic said, noting the statement was a conscious attempt to create a negative atmosphere.
