The European Union peace force in Bosnia (EUFOR) has apprehended former Bosnian Serb president Mirko Sarovic, police say.

“We have information that EUFOR apprehended Mirko Sarovic this morning in Lukavica,” said Radovan Pejic, a Bosnian Serb police spokesman.

European Union peacekeepers refused to confirm the raid.
