SARAJEVO - The remains of several people, believed to be Serbs killed in 1992, have been found in the Bosnian municipality of Brod in north-eastern Republika Srpska, the prosecutor's office of Bosnia and Herzegovina said in a statement on Tuesday.

Erdal Trhulj, Energy Minister in Bosnia's larger entity, told Balkan Insight on Thursday that he expects to finish the process of choosing a concessioner to conduct oil research by the end of this year - which means digs for oil could start as soon as 2015.
