BANJA LUKA, Bosnia (Reuters) - Bosnia's autonomous Serb region ordered a halt to cooperation with national law-enforcement agencies on Thursday in protest at a war crimes raid, further threatening the integrity of the country 20 years after it emerged from war.
The step by the government of the Serb Republic was endorsed by its parliament after a raid by the national SIPA police on a local police station and municipal buildings in the autonomous region as part of an investigation into war crimes during Bosnia's 1992-95 war.
