A movie screening and a panel discussion about human rights, organized by the activist groups -- Bh. Pride March from Sarajevo and Geto from Banja Luka -- has been scheduled for March 18. A member of Bh. Pride March told RFE/RL's Balkan Service that it was disappointed with the decision. To read the original story from RFE/RL’s Balkan Service, click here.
