“British Ambassador to Serbia, Her Excellency Sian MacLeod and Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Serbia, Francine Pickup, met today with the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Snežana Stanojković, to whom they handed over the video-conferencing system for on line hearings in war crimes cases.

With the locations of crime sites, suspects, victims, witnesses, or other evidence often in different countries, many war crimes cases have a cross-border dimension. The donated video-conferencing system, comprising high-resolution camera, TV screen, microphones, and a signal distribution device, can link up to six participants from different locations into one conference call. This will allow the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor to hear the victims and witnesses of war crimes who live outside Serbia when they cannot be physically present and to increase the efficiency of investigations, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic made travel more difficult.”
