Prosecutors investigating who revealed identity of protected witness to media

Bosnian prosecutors have recently formed a case against the Prime Minister of Bosnia's Republika Srpska (RS) entity, Radovan Viskovic, after the investigative web portal Istraga.ba published an article which includes an audio recording from 2017 containing the testimony of protected witness M-16 in the case of 'Miodrag Josipovic et al.'

"Radovan Viskovic offered me money to relocate mass graves,” the witness told the Court. Istraga.ba also reported that the witness gave the exact same testimony in 2007.

The Public broadcaster of Bosnia’s semi-autonomous RS entity, as well as some other media, have meanwhile reported the name of the witness.

"Immediately after the identity of the protected witness was revealed, the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina formed a case and is undertaking activities within its competencies," the office said in a statement to N1.
