Vladimír Dzuro, is the only Czech investigator to have worked for the ICTY. His task was to collect evidence against war criminals and perpetrators of ethnic cleansing. His two biggest cases were the Ovcara massacre, linked to then-Vukovar Mayor Slavko Dokmanovic, and ethnic cleansing in northwestern Bosnia. With him, we embark on a metaphorical, but also very realistic tour of the site of his investigations in the former Yugoslavia and a meeting with surviving witnesses of ethnically motivated crimes. What does the Balkans look like today? What happened to the people who still live in those places today, what about their memory? And finally most importantly, did ‘Hague justice’ have any meaning and significance for those who went through the worst?
