A Kakanj lawyer admits he took 5,000 KM from a client who secretly taped him saying the money was used to bribe a judge.
Managers of the State Police Support Agency used official vehicles for private trips to their hometowns in Bužim and Tomislavgrad, even though they were not entitled to do so. Some of these trips were justified with travel orders containing inaccurate information. The positions of director and deputy director were also used for official travel across Europe, Asia, and North and South America.
Husein Nanić, the former director of the Police Support Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), and his deputy Miše Ćavar misused official vehicles for personal travel.
Over eight years, they covered nearly 300,000 kilometers in official cars, traveling to their hometowns in Bužim and Tomislavgrad, despite…

Commission fees at the level of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Reporters from the Center for Investigative Reporting in Sarajevo have collected and analyzed
It seemed easy to find people for commission work in the RS—until a new law stipulated they would get no money for the work in the future. The change allows exceptions, but where it doesn’t, eagerness for the work has cooled.
The commission for the verification of higher education degrees is an example of how some people in the RS can turn a few hours of work into a nice amount of money, all while meeting during the chairman’s working hours.
Reporters from the Center for Investigative Reporting in Sarajevo have collected and analyzed data on payment of commission fees at 12 Republic of Srpska agencies

Commission fees in BiH Reporters from the Center for Investigative Reporting in Sarajevo have collected and analyzed data on payment of commission fees at 41
Records of more than 3,300 commission members in BiH show how a select group of judges and justice ministries officials are dominating the system and raking in tens of thousands of KM on top of their annual salaries.
Twenty-one institutions in FBiH spent 5.48 million KM on commissioner fees over a three-year period, yet auditors found the commission system encourages idleness and waste, and that rules are ignored. But some ministers say the system is valuable – and make money from it.
What do commissions do? The answer depends on who’s talking. In the case of BiH’s 52 government institutions, commissions have been created to launch pet projects or serve as a pit where authorities can dump difficult political issues. Not all commissioners are paid, but those who are collected at least 3 million KM in the most recent three-year period.
Government officials at all levels of government in BiH say that the hundreds of commissions that cost taxpayers millions of KM are desperately needed. They cannot or will not say how many commissions there are, what they cost each year and offer no accounting. CIN reporters decided to do that work themselves.
An investigation into contracting in RS, though flawed, examines expenditures on government showpiece buildings in Banja Luka and finds that an array of officials helped inflate costs and benefited a favored contractor.
