Road work is wasted time and effortSkenderija Street was dug up and closed down for nearly a month this summer as part of 500,000 KM
Every sixth representative elected to the Brčko District Assembly in the last elections has been convicted of a criminal offense. Most of them will now have the opportunity to question the work of the prosecutor’s office that indicted them, from their seats in the assembly.
A convicted drug dealer, a vote trafficker, and a forger will soon have the opportunity to judge the work of the Prosecutor’s Office in Brčko – the institution that has proven their criminal acts. These convicted individuals are now members of the newly elected Brčko District Assembly, where the prosecutor will be required to submit an annual report on the work of the prosecution.

Experts say developing roads and bridges would make life in BiH easier, cleaner and much safer. Government officials say roads elsewhere are worse.
BiH has the experts, but not the will to build modern roads. Petty squabbling over routes and land acquisition has frustrated construction of a road network that could save lives and rev up the economy for decades.
Church, police and municipality officials share responsibility for keeping the thousands of pilgrims who come to BiH’s biggest tourist draw safe. They are saddened, but not alarmed that over the past six years, seven pilgrims have disappeared from Međugorje and two remain lost.
Bakeries, not government inspectors, are doing most of the quality control to insure that bread and flour is hygienic and uncontaminated.
Cramped quarters, inadequent equipment, lack of oversight and standards means lab testing of food in BiH could be unreliable.
CIN tested some of the labs that test food and found variations.
Financial police complain that when they find abuse of office and illegal expenditures by officials, their reports gather dust in prosecutors’ offices.
Political party leaders don’t see any problem with running candidates under suspicion of public corruption. The voters can decide if they don’t like a candidate and courts will eventually rule on the validity of charges.
Years after financial police issue a report about widespread corruption by 21 officials of Srednjobosanski Canton, nothing much has been done and nine of the suspects are running for public office again.
A Federal Financial Police report shows the chain of events that led to the construction of what should have been a jail that sits empty near a school full of children.
Nearly all the suspects named in a 2003 FBiH Financial Police report on corruption that CIN contacted had trouble remembering any criminal complaint.
