BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic demanded on Monday an urgent reaction by the international community and a release of two peaceful Serb protesters kidnapped by Pristina's police in Zvecan a week ago.

PRISTINA - Srpska lista leader Goran Rakic and deputy leader Igor Simic met with EULEX chief Lars-Gunnar Wigemark on Tuesday to discuss the security and political situation in Kosovo-Metohija.

The meeting also addressed an urgent withdrawal of special units of the so-called Kosovo Police from the north of Kosovo-Metohija, a Tanjug correspondent reported.

The head of the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bruce Berton, told the launch in Sarajevo on Monday of a new report entitled 'War Crimes Management at the Prosecutor's Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina' that the conviction rate in war crime cases has been falling at an alarming speed and the most complex cases are not being adequately probed.

Publication of the first statistical data from Bosnia's 2013 census, planned for June 15, has been postponed following rows over the joint program to be used to process the census data, Bosnia's Statistical Agency said.

"Republika Srpska blocks publication of Bosnia and Herzegovina census results," the news agency Patria reported.
