BIRN Regional Conference Begins

01 September 2009
Regional Conference on "Transparency of Courts and Responsibility of the Media" begins in Sarajevo.

A Regional Conference on "Transparency of Courts and Responsibility of the Media" has started in Sarajevo. The Conference is being organized by the Balkans Investigative Reporting Network, BIRN, - Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the three-day event, from September 1 to September 3, 2009, participants will explore ways of bridging the gap between judicial institutions, local authorities
and the media in the Western Balkans region.

"Our intention is to open a dialogue on the importance of responsible, timely and objective information sharing on war-crimes trials and the need for transparency of the judicial institutions before which these trials are conducted. Both things are important for regaining the trust of the public in the region for the judicial system and enabling people who have been victims of the gravest violations of human rights to start believing in justice," Nidzara Ahmetasevic, BIRN - Justice Report Editor, said in her introductory speech.
