Petition for Property Claim
The purpose of this form prepared by the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina is to assist victims of crimes in the exercise of their rights and, in particular, to facilitate the submission of petitions for property claim in the course of criminal proceedings.
Please bear in mind that the submission of a property claim does not mean that your request will be automatically granted. The merit of your claim will be decided by the court, which will consider whether your request is sufficiently substantiated and whether deciding on the claim would not prolong considerably the criminal proceedings.
The use of this form by victims does not imply that the OSCE endorses your claim or takes any position with regard to the merit of the case, as it is not a party to the proceedings.
