“I would say that the vast majority of research is conducted in EU countries. Of the 21 survey countries, 14 are members of the EU, a further four countries, including Ukraine, are in Europe but not a member of the EU, and a further three countries are not in Europe – the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom of Great Britain,” explained the President of Eurojust Ladislav Hamran.
In Vilnius, the President of Eurojust met with the Prosecutor General of Lithuania Nida Grunskienė to discuss the investigation of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine in a joint investigative group.
“I would predict that the collection of evidence of major international crimes, their proper analysis, which will lead not only to the conclusion that these crimes were committed in Ukraine but also to the charges themselves, will be a long journey that will take several years,” added Ladislav Hamran.
The special joint investigative group, which was initially formed by the prosecutor’s offices of Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland, began its activities on March 25, 2022. Currently, representatives of seven countries participate in its activities, and for the first time in history – a prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
