Hod po trnju: Procesuiranje ratnih zločina u Srbiji 1993-2013.
Walking a Thorny Path: Prosecution of War Crimes in Serbia 1993-2013.

Summary/Abstract: The article gives and overview of the dynamics of prosecution of war crimes committed during the wars in the former Yugoslavia. Prosecution of war crimes is perceived as the key aspect of overcoming a criminal legacy of recent past, but also as a hostage of political forced vested in its sidetracking. Different phases of this process were characterized by concealing of war crimes (1993–2000), revealing of their scope (2001–2003), mobilization in attempts to bring the responsible to justice (2003–2009) and erosion of enthusiasm for this mechanism of facing the past (2010–2013). Lack of proportion in legal response to committed crimes is emphasized, as well as the societal consequences of the limited scope of legal facing with the recent past.
