SARAJEVO, Bosnia (October 14,2007) - The International Community's High Representative and EU Special Representative in Bosnia, Miroslav Lajčák told the representatives of genocide victims’ associations from Bosnia that bringing war criminals to justice is a key priority of the international community.
“My priority is truth, justice and responsibility for the crimes committed in Bosnia. The work that has been done is this area is far from enough”, Lajčák said.
“I will continue to push for the rapid adoption of a Bosnian National War Crimes Strategy by the relevant institutions that will make prosecution of war crimes more efficient and coherent.”
In addition, a team of experience international investigators will soon join the Bosnian Prosecutor’s Office to help in the investigation and prosecution of genocide and other war crimes committed by the genocidal Serbian aggressor in the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica.
The genocide victims’ associations expressed their full support for the efforts of the High Representative.
The meeting was convened at the initiative of the association “Mothers of Srebrenica and Zepa Enclave”, the association “Women Victims of War” and the “Bosnian Association of Concentration Camp Survivors”.
