Sarajevo, 8 January 2008
To Whom It May Concern,
I
am writing in support of the Humanitarian Law Center’s proposal for funding from the United States Institute of Peace, to conduct mapping of public memorials in the successor states of the former Yugoslavia. First let me speak to the merits of the Humanitarian Law Center, an organization whose work I have followed closely for over a decade. While working in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia over the last 17 years, I have had ample opportunity to work with the HLC and with its director, Natasa Kandic.

We support the foundation of a State Commission tasked with finding and marking all secret graves created after 1944, and we demand that the government of the Republic of Serbia establish another commission tasked with disclosing the remaining mass graves in Serbia, created during the time of the armed conflicts waged on the territory of the former Yugoslavia and also tasked with investigating allegations that bodies of Kosovo Albanian victims were incinerated in the Mačkatica factory, in the Obilić thermal-electric power plant, in Niš and Smederevo during the NATO bombardment of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SRJ).
Welcome
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Mr. Klein (– Head of Representation of the Federal State of Hamburg) Host

An interview with HLC Executive Director, Natasa Kandic
By: Pedja Obradovic in Belgrade
A broad regional coalition of civil society associations from the countries of the former Yugoslaviais planning to pressure the succession countries into forming a regional commission to establish the facts on war crimes and other severe violations of human rights.
On December 4th 2009, the Serbian Supreme Court confirmed the verdict of the War Crimes Chamber of the Belgrade District Court, which had found the accused Boro Trbojevic guilty of war crimes against the civilian population and sentenced him to 10 years’ imprisonment. The Supreme Court dismissed as unfounded the appeal of the war crimes prosecutor and the defence of the accused Trbojevic. In its reasoning the Supreme Court stated that the first-instance verdict does not contain the essential violation of the provisions of criminal procedure or criminal law that the second instance court considers ex officio.
