PALE, Bosnia (Reuters) - Bosnian Serb officials opened a student dormitory on Sunday named after their wartime leader Radovan Karadzic in a show of defiance before he faces Thursday's verdict on alleged genocide during the Bosnian war.
Karadzic was the first president of the self-declared Bosnian Serb Republic, which the Bosnian Serbs tried to carve out of Bosnia and link to Serbia during the 1992-95 war. It survives as an autonomous part of Bosnia under the United States-brokered Dayton peace accords that ended the war.
