We have recorded 33 criminal proceedings in the trial phase before county courts, involving a total of 91 defendants,” Documenta head Vesna Terselic said, presenting the 2025 Report on Monitoring Criminal Proceedings for War Crimes. By comparison, there were 54 criminal proceedings in 2024, 64 the year before, and 61 in 2022. Of the 91 defendants in war-crimes proceedings in 2025, 87 were members of Serbian paramilitary and police forces. “Recently, a final verdict brought to an end one of the longest war crimes trials, in which Branimir Glavas was convicted. Bozica Ciboci of Documenta called on countries across the region to “sign agreements aimed at improving the prosecution of war-crimes perpetrators and preventing the politicisation of war crimes trials.”
