On November 17, 2022, Roberto Smaldore, a master's student at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Milan, visited the Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity and International Law at the University of Sarajevo. The student was hosted by assistant professor. Ph.D. Ermin Kuka, senior research associate and coordinator for international cooperation of the Institute. The reason for the visit was to obtain relevant documentation and literature related to the participation of foreign military mercenaries and volunteers in the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the commission of crimes, which is the subject of Roberto's master thesis. During the conversation, in addition to the above, Roberto was also introduced to the Institute's previous work (primarily scientific research into crimes), as well as basic information about the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and committing crimes against Bosniaks.
Asst. Ph.D. Ermin Kuka thanked Roberto for the visit and his interest in scientific research on the subject as part of his master's thesis at the University of Milan. He offered all possible help and support in researching an extremely important and significant topic from the period of aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992-1995. years.
