Balkan Insight’s Transitional Justice site provides news, analyses, interviews, and investigations on transitional justice issues in the Balkan region.
The aim of the programme is to stimulate a healthy public dialog and further the understanding of transitional justice issues by providing timely, balanced and impartial information.
The main journalistic interests of BTJ are in covering past human rights violations such as war crime trials, regional cooperation on criminal issues, the current situation of refugees and IDPS, progress regarding missing persons, and truth-seeking initiatives.
The articles are published on our website in English, Albanian, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin and Macedonian.
The programme is currently expanding its partnership network in order to disseminate its input and increase its impact. The programme’s radio production will start in May 2012.
