SARAJEVO, Bosnia (September 29,2007) - Yesterday morning at the request of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the European Union Forces in Bosnia conducted a search operation in the premises of Boro PEKEZ in Maglajani, between Banja Luka and Bosanska Gradiska with the aim of finding material or information which could assist the ICTY in the ongoing search for and capture of persons of Serbian origin indicted by The Hague Tribunal for genocide and putting pressure on networks believed to be involved in protecting these Serbian war criminals.

The operation was supported by NATO and was closely coordinated with the ICTY.This operation is legally based upon the mandate of the ICTY, EUFOR and NATO under the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions and the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia, EUFOR said.
