Bosnian Serbs admit plans to sell arms to Myanmar Kathimerini, Greece BANJA LUKA (Reuters) - Bosnia’s Republika Srpska faced fresh embarrassment over weapons trading after it admitted yesterday it was negotiating a deal with Myanmar when a scandal over illegal exports to Iraq broke out last month. “There were attempts... to sell weapons, but after learning that Burma (Myanmar) was under unilateral sanctions, (although) not under UN sanctions, the agreement was put out of force,” Prime Minister Mladen Ivanic told a news conference. Many Western countries, including the US and the EU, have imposed political and economic sanctions on Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, over its human rights record.
