At the official trips of the representative in the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, from December 2022. By the end of March this year, about 700,000 marks were spent, which includes airline tickets, business cards, diems, accommodation and use of VIP salons at airports.
Most representatives traveled to Morocco, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Brussels, Paris, New York, Vancouver, China, Strasbourg.
That Bosnia and Herzegovina has an accident, confirm the data on the costs of parliamentarians in the representative of the BiH Parliament on the Official Travel. In two years they spent a less than 700,000 marks of public money citizens of this country that barely cover the basic costs of life. The most expensive individual official journey last year was Rachana Dervišević, State Parliamentary, in New York, which cost almost 13,000 KM.
The DF representative in the Federation of BiH Mahir Mešalić said that it was scandalous that one parliamentary spends so much money on the tourist trip.
“She is not an official in the form of foreign ministers, a member of the Presidency, one parallment from the current majority to spend so much money on a tourist trip, from which citizens have nothing scandalous,” he said
Predrag Kojović, the representative of our party in the PSBiH House, underlined that some trips resulted in great successes
“I know full people who have traveled that did the exceptional things Sabina Cudić, Karamehic, Magazinovic … did the diplomatic revolution resulted in the sanctions of Austria.”
The parliamentarians would have to be more transparent to spend money, because the public is intended for the inforaciations to meet abroad and what citizens receive these visits, Milica was launched by the ‘harsh zero’.
“I think citizens didn’t get anything. The braking of the institution brakes both BiH’s progress and we don’t know where they traveled, these data were not transparent, whether they were family travel,” she said.
The position of Transparency International in BiH is that so much costs of official trips are unjustified, because their effect is almost no. Damjan Ožegović reminded that the Parliamentary Assembly was in 2024. Adopted only one new law.
“Only in 2024, the Parliamentary Assembly adopted a new law, 4 amendments to existing laws, we have not received any issues or initiatives, neatly beneficiaries. With no accountability, we will not have any more efficient work or justification of the investment.
These expenses on official trips are just one segment of inefficient and non-functional political sitema in Bosnia and Herzegovina, subject to blockades, assessed by Daniel Vidović politics.
“We are moving in a vicious circle. Considering their efficiency that the costs are too large and no special analysis should be confirmed, it just testifies to the need for true reforms in BiH,” Vidović pointed out.
On official trips in 2023. The year spent Denis Zvizdić, Marinko Čavara, Radovan Kovacevic, Darijana Filipović, and last year Reachan DervoVević, Sabina Čudić, Branislav Borenović, writes Radio Sarajevo.
