关于海牙，我们注意到姆拉迪奇案以及斯塔尼希奇和西马托维奇案取得的进展，并高兴地了解到，这些案件定于明年底审结。但是，尽管西巴尔干一些国家取得了某种进展，但是令我们感到失望的是，区域司法合作、否认战争罪行和美化战争罪犯之举仍对该区域追究罪责和结束有罪不罚现象构成重大挑战。当各位领导人在2018年伦敦西巴尔干峰会上签署关于战争罪行的联合声明时，他们一致强调必须支持有效的区域合作并消除合作障碍，反对使用仇恨言论和美化战争罪犯。联合王国吁请他们确保尽可能采取一切步骤履行其承诺，包括改善同余留机制的合作。
Turning to The Hague, we note the progress made in the Mladić, and Stanišić and Simatović cases, and are pleased that these are due to conclude by the end of next year. However, despite some progress between certain countries of the Western Balkans, we are disappointed at the fact that regional judicial cooperation, denial of war crimes and glorification of war criminals remain significant challenges to accountability and ending impunity in the region. When leaders signed the joint declaration of war crimes at the 2018 London Western Balkans Summit, they agreed to underline the importance of supporting, and removing impediments to, effective regional cooperation and to reject the use of hate speech and the glorification of war crimes. The United Kingdom calls on them to ensure that they are taking every step possible to honour their commitments, including improved cooperation with the Mechanism.
