After a years-long delay, BiH’s Council of Ministers on Thursday adopted a revised national War Crimes Processing Strategy, which is designed to speed work on a huge backlog of cases.
One of the goals of the newly-adopted strategy is to ensure the efficient distribution of cases to lower-level courts, a process which has not been working properly so far.
Milan Tegeltija, president of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council, the country’s judicial overseer, welcomed the adoption of the strategy.
“This is an extremely important step to speed up the processing of war crimes and satisfy the interests of justice,” said Tegeltija.
