Summary/Abstract: The new issue of the newsletter through ACCESS to JUSTICE features an interview with the Swiss ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro, Mr. Jean-Daniel Ruh, and an author's text by the director of the Center for Practical Politics, Dragan Popović. With Ambassador Ruh, we discussed the establishment of regional stability and reconciliation in the Western Balkans, the priorities of Serbia's chairmanship of the OSCE, Serbia's achievements in dealing with the past and the potential of European integration for improving this area, and the contribution of the Hague Tribunal to establishing the facts about the crimes committed and reconciliation between different communities in the region. Dragan Popović presented the importance of including topics from the field of transitional justice in the process of normalizing relations between Serbia and Kosovo. He says that the Brussels negotiations must necessarily include establishing the truth about war crimes, prosecuting those responsible, implementing institutional reforms, a wide range of reparative measures and determining the fate of missing persons. The News column provides an overview of current events in the field of transitional justice and European integration of Serbia, while the War Crimes Trials column offers an overview of trials held and verdicts passed in the previous period.
