The mayor of Banja Luka, Drasko Stanivukovic, did not submit criminal charges against the former mayor, his associates and other officials of the Republika Srpska to the District Public Prosecutor’s Office today, as he announced earlier.
Stanivukovic told reporters in front of the Banja Luka District Public Prosecutor’s Office that it would not be too late if he submitted those criminal charges next week, and announced new ones because, as he said, he delivered oxygen to the University Clinical Center (UCC) of Republika Srpska by a company that has a license to import only technical and not medical oxygen ”.
He added that he had evidence that the oxygen was supplied by the company “TGT Tehnogas” from Laktasi, which “is not registered for the internal trade of medicines”.
“Medical oxygen is a medicine, but this company is not registered for the sale of medicines. This company does not have a permit to work with medical oxygen “, said Stanivukovic.
Stanivukovic also claims that the UCC paid 1.3 million BAM for the delivery of technical, not medical oxygen. He says that, according to the information he has, in this case, criminal acts were committed against human health, against official duty and against legal traffic, Srna news agency reports.
