“…▪ Research conducted in Prijedor, BiH, finds that the political space created by the conviction and removal of high level political and military leaders can eventually open up opportunities for inter-ethnic collaboration (Zyberi & Letnar Černič, 2015; Strupinskienė, 2020).…”

“…The entire region was affected by armed conflict directly or indirectly and is still recovering from the consequences (Mastrorocco, 2020;Simić, 2016). The region suffers from deep political and societal divisions, with differing narratives embedded in mainstream public discourse and continuing ethnic segregation (Zyberi & Letnar Černič, 2015). These divisions influence the view of transitional justice processes and outcomes.…”

“…In BiH, the WCC began in 2005, housed within the State Court. The majority of cases transferred by the ICTY have been brought before the Bosnian WCC (Zyberi & Letnar Černič, 2015). In Croatia and Kosovo, governments also pledged to prosecute war crimes in front of domestic courts, while North Macedonia received referral cases from the ICTY to prosecute cases in domestic courts (Subotic, 2015).…”

“…A key issue cited in the literature is that the ICTY lacked local legitimacy, due in large part to its physical distance from the former Yugoslavia and the lack of engagement with people on the ground (Hehir, 2019). Local populations perceived the work of the ICTY as distant and abstract, even if their overall impression may have been positive (Zyberi & Letnar Černič, 2015).…”

“…The political space created by the conviction and removal of high level political and military leaders can facilitate the emergence of more moderate leaders (Zyberi & Letnar Černič, 2015). A field study on the wider impacts of the ICTY finds, through interviews and observations, that there is a link between ICTY activities and inter-group reconciliation (Strupinskienė, 2020).…”

Countries in the Western Balkans have engaged in various transitional justice and reconciliation initiatives to address the legacy of the wars of the 1990s and the deep political and societal divisions that persist. There is growing consensus among scholars and practitioners that in order to foster meaningful change, transitional justice must extend beyond trials (the dominant international mechanism in the region) and be more firmly anchored in affected communities with alternative sites, safe spaces, and modes of engagement. This rapid literature review presents a sample of initiatives, spanning a range of sectors and fields – truth-telling, art and culture, memorialisation, dialogue and education – that have achieved a level of success in contributing to processes of reconciliation, most frequently at the community level. It draws primarily from recent studies, published in the past five years. Much of the literature available centres on Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), with some examples also drawn from Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia.
