Proposed Religion Classes Stir Controversy In Bosnia-Herzegovina

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, proposals to introduce optional instruction in religion into kindergarten classes in Sarajevo have created controversy. Today's Southeast European Times reports that Bosnian Muslim parents generally favor the plan, while non-religious parents opposed to the plan have begun to circulate a petition captioned "Stop Religious Segregation in Kindergarten." The OSCE says that any plan needs to create a sense of inclusiveness in the multi-ethnic country.
