BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Hercegovina (AFP) Apr 02, 2003
 The Serb chairman of Bosnia's tripartite presidency Mirko Sarovic resigned Wednesday after being implicated in an arms-to-Iraq scandal and a spying affair, the speaker of parliament said.

Mirko Sarovic has submitted a resignation that is "irrevocable," Dragan Kalinic told journalists.

A report by Western intelligence services obtained by AFP Tuesday linked Sarovic to secret arms sales by the Serb military aviation company Orao with Iraq while he was president of the Serb part of the country, known as Republika Srpska.
