SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Novelist and Matrix co-writer Aleksandar Hemon worries that growing U.S. social divisions could bring about the partition of the United States, saying present-day America reminds him of his native Bosnia, ethnically divided after war in the 1990s.

"I am in the business of imagination - I can perfectly imagine the situation in which a part of the United States effectively becomes independent," Hemon said on the sidelines of the Sarajevo Film Festival, where he moderates press conferences in the competition programme.
