BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina: Up to 2,000 Bosnian Serbs are gathering to protest Kosovo's independence and demand secession of their ministate from Bosnia.

Thursday's peaceful protest, organized by a non-governmental organization, is named "Yes, Kosovo is Serbia and let Republika Srpska be independent."

Bosnian Serb nationalists are drawing parallels between Kosovo's independence from Serbia and their desire to break away from Bosnia.
