The Sarajevo Canton government has set up four commissions that have spent more than 250,000 KM from the budget of its Bureau of Health Insurance. The members were political appointees and no year-end reports from any has ever been submitted.
The former director of the Sarajevo Canton Health Insurance Bureau was a member of 10 commissions at the agency. These memberships added 2,000 KM a month or so to his regular manager’s salary of around 4,800 KM.
When Esed Radeljaš became chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sarajevo Health Insurance Bureau, the number of commissions tripled and members of those commissions collected nearly 580,000 KM over three years.
Former director of Zenica-Doboj Canton Health Care Fund, Senaid Begić, used the agency funds to pay for election campaign, advertising and purchase of awards.
Family members of the former director general of Bosnalijek have spent 3.75 million KM over seven years on houses, flats, villas and companies, which is 1.05 million KM more than their combined declared income in BiH.
