the Muslim Bosniak member of the country's presidency said on Friday,
despite a warning by his Serb and Croat counterparts that it would
provoke a political crisis.
"The
request for (revision) will be filed next week," Bakir
Izetbegovic, who heads the largest Bosniak party, SDA, told a news
conference. "We are interested in the truth and the process
of reconciliation based on the truth."

direct responsibility for the killing, rape and "ethnic
cleansing" in Bosnia, but concluded that Serbia had failed in
its responsibility to prevent genocide.
