Judge Carmel Agius “will meet with a number of high-level officials of the Croatian government, as well as representatives of the highest courts in Croatia,” the MICT said on Friday.
The topics to be discussed will include the current activities and priorities of the MICT, the importance of regional cooperation on war crimes issues, the possible establishment of an Information Centre on the ICTY, and other matters of mutual interest, it was announced.
This visit, originally scheduled to take place in April 2020, will be Agius’s first visit to the region of the former Yugoslavia since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From 1993 to 2017, the ICTY tried the perpetrators of the most serious crimes committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
Last June its successor, the MICT, sentenced Serbian Security Service leaders Jovica Stanišić and Franko Simatović to 12 years’ imprisonment. Once the ruling becomes final, it will mark the end of all trials begun by the ICTY and taken over by the MICT.
