The meeting also discussed the plan of activities of the AFIV BiH to engage in the field of forensic analysis of mortal remains and bone samples, including DNA analyses, which is an area of great importance for the work of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH, especially in cases of the Special Department for War Crimes. The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH expressed its support to such activities.
The joint conclusion of the meeting is that even more intensive cooperation will continue this year.
This announcement does not prejudice the outcome of the criminal proceedings and does not violate the principle of the presumption of innocence. A person shall be considered innocent of a crime until guilt has been established by a final verdict (Article 3, paragraph 1 of the CPC BiH).
