Bosnian justice minister Barisa Colak admitted that the country had not gone far enough to meet its goals in prosecuting people suspected of crimes committed during the 1992-95 conflict.
Judicial institutions were urged to make changes to ensure fairness after a European human rights court ruling led to the overturning of verdicts against several convicted war criminals.
Three years since Bosnia adopted a war-crimes strategy, hopes grow that the prosecution of war crimes perpetrators may finally speed up, although no increase in indictments has yet occurred.
