The two-day meeting, which ended in the northeastern Bosnian town of Bijeljina on Thursday, was organised by the UN Development Programme.
"The cooperation of the three countries' prosecutor's offices in war crimes cases is excellent," said Bosnian State Prosecutor Barisin announcing the continuation of cooperation and the next meeting on Brijuni, Croatia.
Asked by reporters what they agreed on at the Bijeljina conference, Barisin said that reporters were too much inquisitive and that they should not be inform of all agreements or prosecutors could then leave their job.
In response to reporters' questions about Croatian war veteran Tihomir Purda, arrested in Bosnia on a warrant issued by Serbia where he is wanted for alleged war crimes, Croatian Chief State Prosecutor Mladen Bajic said that prosecutors from Serbia had asked his extradition and that it was now on the Bosnian judicial system to decide on the matter.
In the meantime, the prosecution in Serbia undertook some other legal actions including the questioning of suspects in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. This is what is happening now and after that and in line with the evidence material in the file, colleagues will make a decision in a professional and conscientious manner and in accordance with the law and state conventions, Bajic said.
He added that during the two-day meeting participants discussed the exchange of information on all case files in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia adding that endeavours to improve cooperation and exchange of information would reduce the possibility to a minimum that cases such as the Purda case may occur in the future.
Asked by reporters whether Serbia would keep asking Purda's extradition, Serbia's main prosecutor for war crimes, Vladimir Vukcevic, said that Serbia's request for his transfer was still in place.
Vukcevic said that Serbian prosecutorial authorities just as prosecutors in other countries in the region had become inured to pressure and could resist pressure such as the public pressure in Croatia regarding the case of the Vukovar war veteran Purda.
