Branislav Djukic of the Bosnian Serb Association of Camp Prisoners told the Associated Press on Tuesday that although he has only seen the trailer he can already see the movie "is showing lies" and portraying Serbs as the only ones who raped women during the war.
Though, before Jolie could start filming in Bosnia the government had to approve of her script.
The actress' film is about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosnian woman, among sex slaves in a camp.
