Sarajevo authorities have given Angelina Jolie her
filming permit back after it was briefly withdrawn last week
following protests from an association of women raped during
the Bosnian war.
Jolie's Bosnian producer Edin Sarkic said he received the
written permit yesterday and Jolie and her crew will start
filming in Sarajevo in November.
The film is a wartime love story between a Bosnian woman and
a Serb man but more details were not known.
Rumours spread that the film was about a rape victim who
falls in love with her rapist.
This outraged an association of raped women in Bosnia who
branded the story insulting and pressed the Sarajevo minister
of culture to cancel Jolie's filming permit.
The minister reissued it after Sarkic persuaded him the
rumours were not true by letting him read the script.
