Officials from the United States of America were informed about the activities carried out in the prosecution of defendants for participation in the foreign battlefields of Syria and Iraq, the activities in the direction of de-radicalization of those persons and those close to them, as well as the return and prosecution of the remaining citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina who are in that area.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the partner institutions of the United States have active and good cooperation in the prosecution of cases of terrorism and the threat of terrorism and radicalism, especially in the area where international cooperation was needed in the fight against these criminal acts, which are particularly harmful to the safety of citizens and the rule of law.
