Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Claude Jorda,
on Monday chaired a working meeting in Sarajevo organised to
complete preparations for war crimes trials at a special Bosnia-
Herzegovina Court sector. #L#
Along with Judge Jorda and his associates, the issue was also
discussed by High Representative to Bosnia Paddy Ashdown and his
associates.
The meeting, which is estimated to last until Wednesday, was held
behind closed doors and without the participation of any
representative of the Bosnian authorities.
ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte has been announced to attend
the meeting tomorrow.
The Bosnian Court's special sector could assume the processing of
some 500 cases of war crimes committed in the country. Some have
estimated that USD30 million should be set aside for this task.
