In May, 2002, Mr. Allen travelled to Bosnia at the request of U.S. and European officials of the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies to share his experiences as a local prosecutor with foreign officials on meeting threats posed by white collar criminals. As the only American prosecutor chosen, Mr. Allen worked with Bosnian prosecutors, judges and lawmakers in their review of laws in the war-torn country attacking corruption, fraud and money laundering. Afterwards, he and the Bosnian representatives discussed the merits of adopting some aspects of the American criminal justice system, including grand juries, in dealing with white collar crime there. "At a time when we are reminded that the stability of far away places can have a direct impact on the security of our nation, it is important to have an American leader come to Bosnia to share insights into the values and rule of law that serve as the cornerstones of democracy and freedom. Mr. Allen made a tremendous contribution toward these goals in Bosnia," said Alan G. Gorowitz, a Plans Officer for the George C. Marshall Center.
