Moving responsibility for veterinary border inspections from entities to state has not made for smooth inspections, and state auditors find faults with the State Veterinary Office as well.
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.
