Chinese retailers who want to sell cheap goods in BiH must contend with suspicious tax authorities and armed thugs demanding cash.

Newspaper ads promising easy college degrees seemed too good to be true. As it turns out, the degrees are legal, but mostly worthless.
The part of the FBiH Railroad that operates the trains and lucrative freight business has been privatized for a small fraction of its worth. But railroad officials have not bothered to tell anyone. The move deprives the people of BiH money back from their huge investment planned for the railroad to fix tracks and other decaying infrastructure.
A plane identified as being operated by ICAR Air of Tuzla was allegedly used to bring weapons into a UN prohibited area in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Weapons trafficking to Congo have fueled a dangerous regional war.
The RS planned to more tightly control a proliferation of private schools by applying a uniform set of rules. A look at the licenses granted and denied this school year shows that personal contacts and politics can change the way those rules are applied.
FBiH’s Prime Minister invested together with KD Investments, a Slovenian company, in 2000. Since then, the firm has made large amounts of money in BiH and so has the Prime Minister. But is he a beneficiary of the firm or its victim?
The director of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Agency for Privatization (APF) has called the three bids for the Aluminij d.d. Mostar deeply flawed
Olako trošenje, nepotrebni krediti i kupovina skupih putničkih i teretnih vagona mogli bi građane BiH ostaviti u dugovima koje će godinama vraćati umjesto željeznica koje još uvijek ne ispunjavaju svoju ulogu.
Vozeći se vozom iz Sarajeva za Zagreb novinari CIN-a razgovarali sa putnicima koji su se žalili na prljave vozove, česta kašnjenja i lošu uslugu.
