During Jerko Ivanković Lijanović’ four-year term, the FBiH Ministry of Agriculture has allocated 2.8 million KM to persons and firms connected to the minister’s family. No agency has called it a conflict of interest or called for a sanction.
Money went to 23 officeholders who held senior posts in eight state ministries.
Dragan and Bernadica Čović have received most of the property the couple owns either as gifts or as purchases they made before 2003. After police started investigating Čović, his wife started buying property in family’s name — and receiving gifts.
Former legislators continue their careers in public administration managerial positions. They get new jobs most often after first collecting their full severance pay.
