The main audit service gave an opinion with the annual financial statement, according to which the RS entity government is clearly grabs money with Escrow accounts for all and everything, and when it comes to returning not so up-to-date. So she managed to almost empty the cash register in which in 2007. was at the beginning of the SNSD rule of billion and by stamps.
From a billion and the Escrow account has been tone on about a million and a half, and there would be no quiet and a half, if there were no payments of the municipality of Samac. In the audit report, it is evident that the money through this account was moving on the principle – one door enters, to another.
“During 2024. Inflows on escrow accounts in the amount of 32,946,802 KM, and mostly based on non-financial assets from the municipality of Šamac), Returns of Serbs” (2,914,075 km) by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (17.027.945 km) and from Loan collection of the given ad OC “Jahorina” Pale (11,400,000 km).
Funds in the total amount of KM 31,789,708 are largely awarded by the funds “Waters of RS” (2,690,000 km), ad OC) and outflows on the transit of funds for budget consumption (17,400,000 km), “said in the audit report, writes BN.
The ESCROW account from the minus, saved one small municipality of Samac, who says the Chief of Đorđe Millićević, paid something that did not even need, the business space that the Municipal Assembly gave the municipality. Once the planned job with the purchase of space by the interested businessman failed, they lost their debts.
“It absolutely speaks of a situation in RS, on one state of public finance of the Government of the Escrow account, which here is to pay the municipality of Šamac, the only way that the Escrow account is operating positively, then telling you in what condition There are RS public finance and the Government RS “, says the chief of this municipality of Djordje Milicevic.
Significant amounts were taken from this account and, although the obligation is returned to the account, the government has extended return and thus retry a billion and a few loans, for which it was ever returned, but also for patching budget holes. Money invested in the failed enterprises, fell together with them.
“In 2009, the largest amount is 17 million, who borrowed to the construction and equipping of the hospital in Bijeljina and the deadline was 2015. years to return those funds.
These funds until the date of today were not returned, and in December last year, the decision was made to prolong return until 31.12.2025. . The significant amount was also borrowed by RS’s commodities 14.5 million and the deadline for returning these funds was 2017. years. Also, these funds have never been returned, and we know the fate of commodity reserves, “says the Mirjana Orasin economist.
Economists point out that the miracle has funds in that account, when it takes into account how the government is spent. Funds from escrow accounts were to be focused on the economic development of the RS, instead the money from the account was dissolved, and responded to now is no one.
“If we take into account that they have been used for unproductive budget consumption, if we consider that they are given to those who have not returned, then the results are visible, but the money ultimately also lost and protected by public interest. Since the period. When this account was formed to this day, among large projects, the government can boast, was the construction of the building itself, under very problematic circumstances, Igor Gavran emphasizes economists.
“Where is that money and why he has not seen in some effects of economic growth rates, so we can, although we cannot conclude that one missed policy was. The SNSD, as a multi-business authority, had a good starting basis, then those funds were not utilized”, He considers economist Jelena Trivić.
The reminders work, on the Escrow account was the money obtained on the basis of privatization of state capital and the succession of the property of the former Yugoslavia. After the privatization of Telekom and the Boat Refinery, the ship in 2007. year, about one billion and a half marks.
