“Are war crimes trials becoming divorce lawsuits? Is the collective guilt for war crimes being reintroduced 17 years after the war? Will the Court of BiH and other judicial institutions reduce their level of transparency and hence introduce censorship in the BiH media?” were some of the questions addressed by the guests of this debate:
Petar Kovacevic, Director of the Agency for the Protection of Personal Data of BiH, Azra Miletic, Judge of the Court of BiH judge, Tihomir Jurko, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecution of Federation of BiH, Almir Alic, Secretariat of the ICTY in BiH representative, and Dzenana Karup Drusko, Association BiH Journalists representative.
