The European Union considers the protection and support of victims and witnesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a key priority. This was also envisioned in the 2008 BiH National War Crimes Strategy (NWCS), the primary aim of which is to resolve all outstanding war crimes cases in a timely manner. The implementation of the NWCS is also one of the core priorities addressed within the framework of the EU-BiH Structured Dialogue on Justice.
With the aim of improving access to justice and rehabilitation of the conflict affected victims/witnesses through provision of multidisciplinary support, the European Union funded the project “Ensuring access to Justice for witness/victims through strengthening existing and establishing new witness support networks across BH”.
