During the seventh meeting of the Association of Court reporters, held on
November 28, 2006, reporters asked for more effective work from the Bosnian
court and prosecution's press departments.
Reporters who attended the
meeting said that the court press office is often late with its
announcements, leading to a delay in
publishing information.
Association members also noted that the legal
terminology used by press department employees should be used accurately with
clear terms, in order to avoid possible unintentional mistakes in
further reporting.
However, the members commended the press
department's report on events that took place last week, but also stressed
the importance and necessity of publishing an announcement on events that are
planned for the coming week, which is still not being done.
They also
noted that the existing schedule is quite unreliable, with incorrect and
incomplete changes, which makes the work of the court reporters more
difficult.
They noted that the prosecution has still not updated its web
page, which is missing the names of prosecutors and their
biographies.
Reporters who attended the meeting concluded that the
coordination between the court's press department and the judges is not very
good, and that the press department is still not able to fully fulfil
the
reporters' requests.
The meeting of Association of Court and
Prosecution of BiH reporters was attended by reporters from Nezavisne novine,
BH Radio 1, daily paper SAN, BIRN reporters and representative of Konrad
Adenauer Foundation.
Association of Court and Prosecution of BiH
reporters was founded in 2005 with the objective of better presentation of
the work of court and prosecution to the local and international public. It
is supported by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
