Nezavisne Novine
''Nezavisne novine'' () is a Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnian daily newspaper based in Banja Luka. Early history In 1995, shortly after the Dayton Agreement which ended the Bosnian War, Željko Kopanja co-founded ''Nezavisne Novine'', a weekly independent newspaper, in order to "foster improved relationships among Serbs, Muslims and Croats in Bosnia". The magazine was funded in part by the United States Agency for International Development, per a part of the Dayton Agreement which had called for funding for non-nationalist media. Beginning with a circulation of 4,000, the newspaper later became a daily, and its circulation climbed to 18,000 in the next five years. In August 1999, ''Nezavisne Novine'' broke new ground by reporting on the murder of 200 Muslim civilians by Serbian police officers in 1992. With the report, the paper became the first Bosnian Serb paper to report on war crimes by Bosnian Serbs during the Yugoslav Wars. At the same time, Kopanja stated that he "stands b ...
