MIP participates in Regional Summer School in Prizren
On 11 August 2026, the Mechanism Information Programme for Affected Communities (MIP) held an online lecture as part of the Regional Summer School on Transitional Justice, organized by the Humanitarian Law Centre Kosovo in Prizren. The Summer School brought together participants from Kosovo, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as professionals working in the field of transitional justice who delivered lectures and shared their expertise.
During the lecture, MIP researcher Mr. Nemanja Stjepanović focused on the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (Mechanism), with particular emphasis on judicially established facts and the evidentiary material on which those findings are based. Against this background, he discussed cases heard before the ICTY concerning crimes committed in Kosovo during 1998 and 1999, including those perpetrated by the Serbian police and military forces, as well as the Kosovo Liberation Army.
In this context, Mr. Stjepanović introduced participants to the potential of the Mechanism’s archives as a unique resource for research, education, and fact-based learning. He also highlighted the role of the Mechanism’s archival and multimedia resources in preserving the legacy of the Tribunal and supporting education and remembrance initiatives across the region.
This lecture forms part of the MIP’s efforts to support projects and events organized by civil society organizations from the former Yugoslavia engaged in the field of transitional justice.
The aim of the MIP is to improve the knowledge and understanding of citizens and communities in the countries of the former Yugoslavia about the crimes committed during the conflicts of the 1990s, based on ICTY and Mechanism cases.
The MIP is funded by the European Union.
