Sarajevo commission of inquiry at a standstill

Published on : 18 December 2006 - 1:00am | By International Justice Tribune
More about:

More than six months after it was established [IJT-48], the commission investigating the fate of all the citizens of Sarajevo who disappeared during the war in Bosnia from 1992 to 1995 has made no progress. The commission's chair, Cvijetko Savic, has just requested a one-year extension of the commission's mandate, indicating that funds were still not available. Since its establishment, the commission has been the source of conflict between Bosniak politicians and Bosnian Serbs. Former chief of the Bosnian Serb army, Savic himself is a controversial personality. In 2004, he was removed from the Srebrenica commission because the international authority in Bosnia felt he was obstructing the work of the commission.
