( dpa ) - The building of the Sarajevo-based State Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina was evacuated Thursday afternoon amid false bomb threat, the Court officials confirmed.
All trials and other processes before the court were interrupted and all the people in the building were immediately called to leave, according to the court's spokeswoman, Emanuela Hodzic.
Bosnia's State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) deployed its troops to the building along with the forces of the Interior Ministry of Bosnia-Herzegovina's Muslim-Croat Federation, SIPA spokeswoman Selma Delalic said.
"Our teams are currently conducting activities to identify the author of the threat," Delalic said.
The State Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina, placed in Novi Grad municipality in Sarajevo, hosts the top trials, including those for war crimes, terrorism, corruption and organized crime.
A number of foreign prosecutors and judges have also been employed at the court.
