SARAJEVO (Reuters) - The official websites of Bosnia’s separatist Serb Republic (RS) government have been reactivated after being shut down as part of U.S. sanctions imposed against its top officials, regional Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic said on Thursday.

The websites of the RS government, presidency, the civil service and the inspection administration were taken down last week but Viskovic said they had been shifted to neighbouring Serbia’s domain ".rs" and operational again.
