Robert Nelson Wareing (20 August 1930 – 1 May 2015) was a British politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool West Derby from 1983 to 2010.

He objected to the recognition in 1992 of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the British government: "People have been talking about the Bosnians as a nation.

[3] Wareing, who was Chairman of the All-Party British-Yugoslav Parliamentary Group from 1994, held talks in 1995 with the Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadžić and General Ratko Mladić.

[5] In June 1997, Wareing was suspended from membership of the Labour Party on suspicion of breaking the rules governing MP's lobbying.

[4] Nicknamed "Serbian Bob" or the "member for Belgrade" as a result of his pro-Serb views, he was one of the few Labour MPs to vote against the NATO intervention over Kosovo in 1999.

On 31 October 2006, Wareing was one of 12 Labour MPs to back Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party's call for an inquiry into the Iraq War.

[12] According to a report in The Sunday Telegraph in February 2010, using newly disclosed parliamentary records, from April 2004 to July 2009, Wareing booked House of Commons dining facilities on 28 occasions for the hosting of Russian businessmen on behalf of the Leading Ventures Associates, or affiliated enterprises; the LVA course in total costing the businessmen £4,000 each.

It also featured people who knew Bob during his life, including the then Labour party leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
