SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
No comments were received.
RATIONALE: remove misc.news.bosnia
The last approved message was in May 1998.
Since the 1990s, development of the Internet and World Wide Web have
opened up
direct access to news sources in Bosnia and southeastern Europe in general
so
that a newsgroup is no longer the most efficient means of news
distribution. In
addition, it may be impossible to have a moderator who is considered
neutral,
and there may be copyright issues with regard to distribution of news
articles
published in other media.
