The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina extends its gratitude to the police and judiciary of the Swiss Confederation for their cooperation in locating and extraditing the suspect in question.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina is undertaking intensive activities to prevent that war crimes remain unpunished due to suspects’ flight abroad, and it is carrying out activities with its partner institutions worldwide aimed at detecting, locating and extraditing war crimes suspects to the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
