Summary
The project is part of a wider initiative to increase the efficiency, professionalism and independence of the justice sector, to secure the rule of law and thereby prepare the BiH for access to the European Union. The ultimate objective is to help improve BiH capacity for execution of criminal sanction by improving and harmonizing prison conditions throughout the country. The initiative confirms European Union determinations to help the country to enlarge and improve the capacities of current detention and prison institutions. This action would allow the relocation of the Sarajevo Prison from the current building in the city center, with limited possibilities to upgrade accommodationat the new location.
