The State Department announces the appointment of David Schwendiman as Lead Prosecutor to the European Union’s Special Investigative Task Force (SITF). The SITF is an autonomous body established in 2011 under the auspices of the EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo to conduct an independent criminal investigation into the war crimes and organized crime allegations contained in a January 2011 Council of Europe report. Mr. Schwendiman is a highly experienced former U.S. federal and state prosecutor, who previously served as an international prosecutor in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2006-2009. U.S. support for the appointment of Mr. Schwendiman as successor to former SITF Lead Prosecutor Clint Williamson demonstrates the United States’ continuing commitment to the SITF proceedings, to the rule of law in Kosovo, cooperation on this matter with our European partners and international justice.
