Courts in BiH solve about 170,000 cold cases in 2016

Xinhua, January 21, 2017 Adjust font size:

Courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina(BiH) have solved nearly 170,000 cold cases in 2016, the BiH High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (BiH HJPC) has announced.

These were the latest results of the monitoring process of solving cold cases, which is one of the main activities of the HJPC, to ensure that the courts fully respect the fulfillment of plans to solve these cases.

"Specifically, the courts in BiH have solved a total of 168,369 cold cases in 2016, which further contributed to the continuous reduction of the backlog of cold cases, and increasing the efficiency of the courts in BiH, and therefore the judiciary as a whole," HJPC said in a statement on Friday.

In total, more than 660,000 cold cases have been solved since 2010, when the courts in BiH began to apply plans of solving cold cases. Endit
