BIRN Bosnia and Herzegovina Takes Part in Conference in Travnik

07 September 2009
A BIRN - Justice Report journalist was a panelist at a roundtable organized by the OSCE in Travnik and spoke about media responsibility and cooperation with courts, as well as presenting the work of her agency.

Vjekoslav Vavra, Prosecutor with the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office from Travnik, and representatives of non-governmental associations of former detainees, victims and families of missing Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats from that region took part at the roundtable on "Models of cooperation between prosecutions and civil society in war-crimes trials", held on Mount Vlasic on September 4, 2009,

Journalist Aida Alic presented the work of BIRN - Justice Report, while Refik Hodzic of the Hague Tribunal Secretariat in Sarajevo was the roundtable moderator.

The associations of victims and families of the missing pointed to the need for better cooperation with prosecutions on war-crimes trials, as well as objective reporting on the subject by the local media.

Prosecutor Vavra said that cooperation with the associations of the families of the missing and victims was of the utmost importance, because victims and survivors carry the burden of proving crimes.

The OSCE Mission believes that war-crimes trials are a basic precondition for ensuring permanent peace and reconciliation among citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
