Ashdown sweeps Bosnian Serb officials from power
Bosnian Serb Parliament Speaker Dragan Kalinic and Zoran Djeric, interior minister in charge of police in the Serb half of Bosnia, were among those dismissed.
Other senior politicians of the party founded by war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, along with lower party officials, heads of state companies and some local police chiefs were also fired. The dismissals appeared to be aimed at removing those likely to use their police, financial or political powers to help war crime suspects.
