Summary/Abstract: The fifth issue initiates a discussion on the significance of the establishment of the Regional Commission for the establishment of facts on war crimes and other serious violations of human rights in the territory of the former SFRY (RECOM), and recalls a forgotten issue - the rights of the victims of forced mobilizations that took place in Serbia during the armed conflicts in Croatia and BiH. Permanent columns offer an overview of events and trials for war crimes in the period from June 15, 2014. Through ACCESS TO JUSTICE, the bulletin indicates the importance of starting the process of dealing with the past for a country that aspires to join the community of European states, but also for the European Union itself. History has shown that unresolved issues from the past are always present and hinder the functioning of the political system, whether it is a state or a community of states. Therefore, both the Republic of Serbia and the member states of the European Union have an obligation to their citizens to provide them with a stable political and legal order, in which there is a rule of law and which provides protection and ensures respect for human rights of its citizens.
