High Representative Valentin Inzko congratulated Halil Lagumdžija, newly elected President of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HJPC), as well as Biljana Simeunović and Sanela Gorušanović-Butigan, who were elected as Vice Presidents.
“Peoples and citizens of BiH demand and deserve an accountable justice system. Restoring public trust in judicial institutions needs to be the guiding principle in the coming period and HJPC’s role in that process is crucial. This institution is the one to lead judicial reform efforts and ensure independence, impartiality and professionalism of the BiH judiciary”, said High Representative Inzko.
