Acknowledgments
Diane Orentlicher, professor of law at American University, is the principal author of this
report.* Substantial contributions were made by various colleagues at the Open Society Institute
and the International Center for Transitional Justice. In particular, Bogdan Ivanisević
provided essential drafting in the final stages, and Caitlin Reiger and Kelly Askin provided
editorial oversight. The comments offered by Marieke Wierda, Cecile Aptel, David Tolbert,
and James Goldston were also of great assistance. Initial research for this publication was
undertaken during a 2006–07 sabbatical leave with the support of the Washington College of
Law, the Open Society Institute, and the government of Canada.
Very special thanks are due to Dobrila Govedarica, executive director of the Open Society
Fund in Bosnia and Herzegovina (OSF–BiH), and Mervan Miraščija, law program coordinator
of OSF-BiH, for their extraordinary assistance in arranging Professor Orentlicher’s interviews
in Bosnia. OSF-BiH staff member Denis Imamović provided myriad forms of logistical support
for these research trips. At the Open Society Institute, invaluable guidance was provided
by Beka Vučo, regional director, and Ivan Levi, then program officer, for Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia. Gratitude is also due to Eszter
