Prosecutor Brammertz commended the organising of the regional war crimes prosecutors conference which he attended together with the representatives of Serbia’s Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor as well as prosecutors from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro. The conference was held in May 2019, in Belgrade with the aim to [facilitate] more efficient war crimes prosecutions and to strengthen the direct cooperation and sharing of relevant information between the prosecutors’ offices of the countries in the region.
Discussing further capacity-building of Serbia’s Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor, Prosecutor Brammertz said that his Office would continue to provide its support by holding special trainings and workshops for the deputy prosecutors of the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor.
Minister Kuburović will be representing Serbia at the United Nations Security Council session on Wednesday, 17 July 2019, when the new six-month report of the United Nations International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals will be presented.
