Following a joint operation by the Republika Srpska police and the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as confirmed public information about high-level corruption and the detention of the Minister of Security in the Council of Ministers of BiH, Nenad Nešić, a parliamentary initiative has been launched to remove him, announced Branislav Borenović, a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH.
“I have already signed it myself, as have all my colleagues from the SDS-PDP-List for Justice and Order Club. We expect that the initiative will be signed by a majority of deputies in the coming days, so that we can proceed with the appointment of a new minister in the Council of Ministers of BiH from Republika Srpska,” Borenović stated on the X network.
Nešić was detained on December 26 in East Sarajevo with six other people on suspicion of organized crime, including money laundering, abuse of office and accepting bribes, the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced.
The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of BiH of the Republika Srpska entity are investigating suspected corruption in the Public Company Putevi RS, where Nešić was the general director from 2016 to 2020.
In addition to Nešić, in the Tunnel 2 operation, Milan Dakić, the current director of Putevi RS, and five other people were detained.
The Court of BiH ordered Nešić and two other suspects to be detained for one month due to fears that they would “destroy, hide, alter evidence and traces important for the criminal proceedings and that they would influence witnesses or accomplices.”, AA writes.
