Zivko Budimir, a president of the Bosniak-Croat Federation, is escorted by police during his arrest, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, Friday, April 26, 2013. Bosnian police on Friday searched a presidential office and other government buildings as part of an investigation into corruption among top public officials in one of the country's two main sections. Without giving many details, the Bosnian prosecutor's office said the searches were part of a probe into corruption among leaders of the Bosniak-Croat Federation. The anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International says Bosnia is one of the most corruption-prone countries in Europe, due partly to its complex administrative framework and deep ethnic and political divisions.
