STOCKHOLM, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Sweden will release former Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic two-thirds into an 11-year jail term for war crimes, the government said on Thursday. The Yugoslavia war crimes tribunal in The Hague, which convicted her in February 2003, consented last month to grant Plavsic an early release from the sentence she was serving in Sweden. "A decision has been taken regarding a release under a suspended sentence," a Swedish foreign ministry official said.
