BiH has met the floods unprepared as there’s little preventive effort and financing.
Some of the nearly 600 children placed with foster families in BiH have been raped, physically abused or neglected.
Almost 90,000 KM from the budget reserve went to office holders or their children for medical treatment and education.
Jerko Ivanković Lijanović signed off on 3 million KM from the Federation budget for agricultural subsidies. Most of that went to voters who helped his party join the government in the 2010 elections.
The state and entity agencies have spent at least 19 million KM in discretionary funds in the past three years. Civil servants bought meals, party colleagues’ books, drank alcohol and left tips in bars with the taxpayers’ money.
Out of 21 million KM in agricultural subsidies that the Federation of BiH Ministry of Agriculture provided in 2012, at least 2.7 million KM went to the firms that applied with the outdated buildings, non-existent businesses or were owned by party colleagues and the minister’s family.
Federation Vice-Prime Minister Lijanović gave out budget money earmarked for emergencies and unplanned costs to members of his People’s Party Work for Betterment.

During the seven years he was at the top of Indirect Taxation Authority, Kemal Čaušević bought nine apartments and offices plus 20,000 square meters of land. His income during that time does not come close to the cost of the investment, but he told reports that he’s been making money since 1986.
Advisors join ministries for a term, but some eventually land a civil service post and a job for life. Some of those posts were specially created.
