A conference on war crimes processing and prosecution was held last week in Sarajevo, organized by the war crimes Supervisory Body and the European Union delegation to BiH. In comments to the participants, Renzo Daviddi, deputy head of the EU delegation, called on judicial and investigative institutions to speed up their handling of war crimes cases, and to improve the quality of war crimes investigations.
Dr. Renzo Daviddi, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to BiH said: “We believe that bringing justice and processing of war crimes cases is crucial for reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the whole region. The EU supports these efforts by making it an important topic of the Structured Dialogue on Justice, and through extraordinary IPA budgetary support. While we note that there has been a slight reduction in the number of war crimes cases, what matters too is the quality of the investigation and adjudication of war crimes.”
