Angelina Jolie wins back Bosnia film permit

 
Actress Angelina Jolie has won back a permit to film her directorial debut in Bosnia, her producer has said.
Permission was withdrawn last week after the government said no screenplay had been attached to the application, as required by law.
Edin Sarkic told Reuters Bosnia's culture minster had been given the script to quash rumours over its alleged controversial content.
He added Jolie and her crew would now begin filming in Sarajevo next month
The Association of Women Victims of War had objected to the film after rumours it featured a Muslim rape victim who falls in love with her Serbian assailant.
Jolie said in a written statement last week it would be a shame if "unfair pressure based on wrong information" prevented her crew from shooting her film.
"My hope is that people will hold judgment until they have seen the film," said added.-BBC News.
