Serb authorities in Bosnia-Hercegovina have been ordered to pay $42m (£26m) to local Muslims for the destruction of mosques during the Bosnian civil war.
All 16 mosques in Banja Luka, the main town of the Serb-run Republika Srpska, were destroyed in the 1992-1995 war.
A lawyer for the area's Muslim community said the local court verdict was of historic importance.
Hundreds of religious buildings were destroyed in the conflict, in which about 100,000 civilians were killed.

A small step towards Justice.

1. I should think so too.

Quite right. Yes - a small step in the right direction.

2. Yeah sure...

As soon as the Kosovo Albanians pay for the massive damage, arson and destruction to dozens of ancient Serbian Orthodox Monasteries and chapels throughout Kosovo...

It cuts both ways, it depends who is getting the better press exposure and the Serbs have been getting a bum rap for a long time. Perhaps deservedly so at one time, but not any more. Peace and reconciliation must be a two way street every where throughout the former Yugoslavia or it will never happen.

3. What about the USA?

Who is going to order them to rebuild the National Museum of Iraq? Let alone all the hospitals and schools they bombed into oblivion? And I'm sure a few mosques were also destroyed. How come after 8 years, EIGHT YEARS of Halliburton etc.. gorging on taxpayers dollars, people in Iraq still do not have enough electricity or running water? How does that happen?
