Sarajevo - Former Bosnian President Ejup Ganic, who was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport over war crimes allegations, has been given bail by the High Court.

Mr Ganic was detained on 1 March at the request of Serbia and is accused of killing wounded Bosnian Serb soldiers in 1992 during the Balkan wars.

His lawyers say moves to make him face trial in Serbia are politically motivated and his arrest is illegal.

Lord Justice Laws granted the 64-year-old bail on "stringent" conditions.

Mr Ganic was a wartime leader who briefly acted as president.

Their convoy, accompanied by UN peacekeepers, was attacked during the retreat from a Bosnian Muslim area of Sarajevo.

Serbia says this was in violation of a safe passage pact.
