Health care providers in BiH have at least 222 ventilators and another 160 are expected to arrive to help the medical system cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
The business partner of former Municipality of Stari Grad mayor Ibrahim Hadžibajrić secretly furnished two luxury apartments in a new building near the Markale market, the final design of which was approved by the mayor’s closest associate, Alma Destanović. Hadžibajrić and Destanović are facing trial for illegally issuing a construction permit for the construction of this building.
The construction of the mixed-use building of Amko Komerc near the Markale market was still ongoing when Elmedin Karišik, self-appointed custodian of the property of then-Mayor of the Sarajevo Municipality of Stari Grad Ibrahim Hadžibajrić, decided to furnish two luxurious apartments on the top floor.
He approached the job discreetly, unwilling to share…
Health care providers in BiH have at least 222 ventilators and another 160 are expected to arrive to help the medical system cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
The bigger part of the money from a cross-border project on development of firefighting capacity in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Montenegro was spent on seminars and similar activities. There was not enough money left to buy much-needed protective boots for firefighters.
Some governmental authorities in BiH have already used up their contingency reserve funds in the fight against coronavirus. Last year they used money earmarked for emergency and unanticipated events to help out citizens’ associations, sport clubs, and for competitors on TV shows.
Over the past 16 years, the Sarajevo Cantonal authorities have done little to reign in the unauthorized use of thermal spring water by a hotel complex and spa resort in Ilidža at a cost of millions of KM in fees.
During a raid, police found around 350,000 KM in the safe of Canton Sarajevo Prosecutor Džemal Karić, who admitted that some of the money was from Alija Delimustafić, as a thank you for helping dismiss the court cases against the businessman’s brothers.
Illegal gravel operations have eroded the river beds in the Republika Srpska. Firms and individuals who are not licensed to dig gravel have not only appropriated this public good, but also threaten the security of local communities living near these rivers. Officials are aware of this issue, but are doing nothing to solve it.
Tihomir Brajković owns three small hydropower plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He plans to build another six. He was convicted of tax evasion, yet having received a license to exploit natural resources he now collects renewable energy subsidies worth millions.
In the Sarajevo region, Arab nationals have bought at least 15.3 million square meters of properties. Apart from land, they deeded 524 condos to their companies.
Five heads of Sarajevo Municipalities and the city’s Mayor failed to report all property to the Sarajevo Cantonal Government that they and their families own. A government watchdog may file a criminal complaint against them for that matter.
Due to loopholes in construction oversight and lenient sanctions, foreign investors in BiH are building at least five complexes without permits.
The chairman of the Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Council of Ministers, Zoran Tegeltija, sold Republika Srpska’s property without Cabinet approval to a company managed by his soon-to-be son-in-law Milan Keserović.
Doling out grants to non-governmental organizations has become a lucrative business for their founders and local politicians in Brčko District. Politicians buy votes in this way, while their friends from associations spend money without oversight.
