The untitled film, being directed by Angelina Jolie, tells about the story of a Bosnian muslim woman who falls in love with a Serbian soldier who rapes her during the bitter Balkans war.

The country’s Women Victims of War association and politicians are outraged, calling the film guilty of "misleading history". And it was also reported in Bosnia-Hercegovina that the love story would be between a Serbian rapist and a Muslim victim.

"We will only give them a permit to film if we can see the script and it shows us the story is not one that insults Bosnian women, victims of war," said the Bosnian culture minister.

Angelina Jolie is currently filming in Budapest, Hungary and hasn't released a statement on the matter.
