The Brčko District Prosecution published new details related to identifying the identity and origin of the thirty-one child found recently in one house in Brcko.
The investigation that is opened after the finding of 31 children in a family house in Brčko continues, and identity has been confirmed for 19 so far.
“For 14 identities, they were determined on the basis of personal documents they had with themselves or brought them to parents. For five children, we have data who are and what are on the basis of statements of other children who said they are called, who their parents are etc. For 12 children we still have no reliable information on which it is, who, are indeed, they, “said Radmilo Ivanović, Acting the Prosecutor’s Office of the Brčko District of BiH.
Children with a place of birth, based on previous information, in as many as five countries – are still located in one Brčanski hotel. These are not adequate conditions for their longer stays, but the competent currently do not have a better solution, so institution failures are revealed.
“I would not criticize anyone, but it is a failure in terms of social protection subsection. It’s been a lot of time until they carried out some actions from their jurisdiction. For each child, it was necessary to make a decision on temporary accommodation and for each child, it was necessary to make a decision on the appointment of the guardian, “Ivanović points out.
From the police, they confirmed that in 2018. and 2019. received applications regarding the existence of the stated house. The first treatment in this case was 2018. year, when they informed the competent institutions to take appropriate measures.
“Why didn’t they do them, it is the subject of observation,” Goran Pisić, the Chief of Police of the Brčko District of BiH.
Second police handling, related to arrested persons, was in 2019. years. Based on operational knowledge, checks and certain actions were performed, but the Prosecution then found that there were no crimes. Until last year, when the changes in the Criminal Code was finally introduced. Who made an appointment in all this?
“Obviously they scheduled all institutions, not in the Brcko District but institutions that are also in the field of the European Union. Instructions that are in our country, as they cannot deal with these problems the NGO sector in the way it deals, “Pisić pointed out.
They scheduled all, the system and the entire society, it is obvious, as well as that no one wants to take responsibility, what we are used to. A very complex case involving europol. So far, there were a total of 12 people in the processing, two of which are in custody.
