EU, US Officials to Meet Bosnian Leaders in April

Senior EU and US officials will travel to Sarajevo in April to meet with Bosnian leaders in an apparent attempt to ease political tensions that have been mounting in the ethnically fragmented Balkan country as it prepares to hold general elections in October.

Spanish and US embassies in Bosnia said that their top officials will hold talks with Bosnian political leaders in Sarajevo, but refused to discuss the content of the meeting or its exact date. Bosnian leaders have indicated that the officials will be in Sarajevo on April 6 and 7.
