Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the governments of (1) Bosnia and Herzegovina, and (2) Italy, regarding recent reports that foreign nationals participated in killings during the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s; and whether they intend to liaise with those governments to establish whether any British nationals were involved.

The UK welcomes the investigation being conducted into these very serious allegations, and we will, wherever needed, cooperate with the governments of Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina and other relevant authorities to ensure justice is done.
