Some 40 prosecutors and legal support staff from across Bosnia and Herzegovina focused on practical aspects of drafting of indictments, appeals and other motions in war crimes cases. The training course was an opportunity for participants to exchange experiences and discuss current challenges and obstacles to advancing the effectiveness of war crimes processing in BiH.
