SARAJEVO, January 2 (FENA) - In 2019, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the only regular state-level court with jurisdiction to prosecute serious crimes, has fulfilled its obligations in accordance with strategic documents and regulations that standardize the fulfillment of certain quotas.
As President of the Court of BiH Ranko Debevec told FENA, detailed data on the results achieved in 2019 will be available to public upon the adoption of the Court's annual report by the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of BiH.
"Unfortunately, on this occasion, I cannot provide complete information on number of completed cases. However, I will address some of the details that are not that present in the media, which are very important for functioning of the Court itself. Not only cases are the only indicator of the Court's work," Debevec said, referring to the achievements of the Court of BiH in 2019.
He stressed that the BiH Court is the first court in the country to have IT application for the record of monetary claims by judgments.
At the same time, he estimated that a very important segment of the work is infrastructure, reminding that a new courtroom was put into operation, which increased the capacities and enabled scheduling of more hearings.
Also, in 2019, the Court of BiH has completed the installation of a videoconference to present testimony.
According to him, special attention was given to developing cooperation with the community, and this year the Court established cooperation with the City of Sarajevo and organizations - Transparency international and TRIAL international, as well as continued intensive cooperation with the Law School of the University of Sarajevo (UNSA).
At the same time, he emphasizes that in 2019 a high level of commitment to the education segment has been maintained, as evidenced, among other things, by specialist training in the field of corruption, organized by the Court of BiH with the auspices of important partners - the AIRE Center in London and the British Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to which the President of the BiH Court expressed his gratitude on this occasion.
He further stated that the Court of BiH maintained a high level of transparency in its work in 2019, and that it distributed thousands of information, which is "perhaps best evidenced with 250,000 visits to the Court's official website".
"I would add that we had only a few solutions that denied access to information, so I can freely say that we are the most open court in the state, if not generally a state institution," said President of the Court of BiH Ranko Debevec for FENA, and extended his congratulations to the citizens of BiH on the occasion of New Year 2020.
