The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has lifted the travel and mandatory reporting restrictions that had been imposed on Nenad Nešić in connection with criminal offenses he is suspected of committing while serving as acting director of JP Putevi Republike Srpske.
The court accepted a bail of 1.37 million BAM, secured with property offered by Nešić, his lawyer Senka Nožica confirmed to journalists from the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIN). She was unable to specify which property had been pledged.
Nešić declined to comment to CIN reporters.

He was held in detention from late 2024 until mid-May 2025 on suspicion of money laundering, bribery, and abuse of office. Following his release, certain restrictions were imposed on him.
However, a ban on meeting with specific individuals remained in effect even after the bail was accepted on 20 October, following a proposal submitted by lawyer Nožica about twenty days earlier. The proposal was also approved by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At the end of July 2025, CIN reported that Nešić had traveled to Tivat, Montenegro, despite being under travel restrictions. At that time, however, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina had returned his passport and permitted him to leave the country.
At the time, Senka Nožica told CIN reporters that Nešić had been granted permission to travel for his annual vacation.
The court partially confirmed this to journalists, stating that his request to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina for a short period had been approved “due to objective circumstances and with the consent of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
It should be recalled that CIN revealed Nešić had invested at least one million BAM in real estate while serving as acting director of JP Putevi RS and after resigning.
The Prosecutor’s Office suspects him of laundering money and accepting bribes within the company, generating millions in financial gain. When he became Minister of Security in 2023, he concealed half of the real estate he owns with his wife across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro from the authorities.
