Following consultation with relevant security and law enforcement partners the High Representative, Valentin Inzko, today issued a Decision lifting the order to seize the travel documents for one individual under investigation for crimes committed in and around Srebrenica in 1995.
The High Representative’s Decision follows the fact that the investigation being conducted against this individual has been discontinued by the BiH institution in charge.
The principles of equity, proper governance and judicious exercise of the High Representative’s international mandate, all of which take into account the balance between the protection of the peace implementation process and the rights of the individual, justify this outcome. The Order to Seize Travel Documents was introduced on 10 July 2007 to prevent risk of flight while domestic law enforecement agencies carried out their investigations.
