The European Commission’s Non-Paper on the State of Play regarding Chapters 23 and 24 for Serbia: To overcome the legacy of the past, it is necessary to improve regional cooperation

Copy of Copy of Non-paper infoIn June 2020, the European Commission (EC) announced its so-called “non-paper”, i.e. a semi-annual report on the current situation with Chapter 23 (Judiciary and Fundamental Rights) and Chapter 24 (Justice, Freedom and Security). Concerning the prosecution of war crimes, Chapter 23 provides for a series of measures and activities that would enable the recommendations for greater efficiency in domestic war crimes trials to be adequately addressed. The measures of the Government of the Republic of Serbia for the implementation of these recommendations are defined by the Action Plan for Chapter 23, and this semi-annual report shows whether and how much progress has made by Serbia in its implementation. The “non-paper” indicates that Serbia is still far from making progress in the field of war crimes, even though Chapter 23 was opened four years ago.
