SARAJEVO, July 10 (Reuters) - Bosnia's new peace overseer Miroslav Lajcak on Tuesday fired a senior Bosnian Serb police official and suspended 35 active Serb policemen suspected of involvement in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslims.

In his first move since taking office on July 2, Lajcak ordered the seizure of passports from 93 persons on a list of 810 believed to have taken part in the atrocity who still hold official positions.
