Moore informed chief prosecutor Brammetz that the current political stalemate in Bosnia and Herzegovina is also preventing the progress in the field of witness protection and the prosecutions stronger capacity in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Regional co-operation in the field of war crime cases would also help prosecutors bring criminals to justice, said Moore.
Brammertz confirmed that The Hague Tribunal is supporting agreements on co-operation in the field of criminal prosecution of war criminals.
Moore and Brammertz concluded that four years have passed since the escape of Radovan Stankovic from prison in Foca, and called on law enforcement agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia to apprehend him.
The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced Radovan Stankovic to 20 years of prison for crimes committed in Foca in 1992 and he, emphasised Moore, represented a threat to society wherever he was.
Both of them agreed that ensuring that the justice served is a precondition for permanent peace and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the region. Moore added that OHR would resume close co-operation with the Tribunal in order to ensure full cooperation of authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina with that institution.
Brammertz is currently visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina , before his regular report to the UN Security Council. Brammertz met members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and acting chief prosecutor for the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jadranka Lokmic-Misiraca, as well as representatives of victims associations.
