The Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has on the proposal of the Federal Ministry of Science and Education, adopted an initiative to start the revision of diplomas of all employees in federal administration bodies, federal institutions, agencies, directors and other bodies founded by the Federation of BiH.
The Federal Ministry of Education and Science and the Federal Ministry of Justice will prepare concrete measures for the operationalization of this initiative at one of the following sessions.
The government also called for the governments of the cantons, cities and municipalities to support this initiative.
In this way, the Government of Federation of BiH responded to numerous requests from the general public with the aim of analyzing the current situation and introducing legitimacy in the area of education.
Two days ago, it was asked from all employees in the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to submit their diplomas on the acquired professional qualifications, and the diplomas awarded in higher and secondary education.
Secretary of the Joint Service of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina Kenan Vehabovic potentiated at a session to check diplomas of all employees.
“I asked for a diploma check for all the employees in the BiH Parliament, the highest legislative body in BiH, the first on the checklist will be my, and then of all other employees,” Vehabovic said.
Counterfeiting of diplomas and their abuse is a longstanding problem of the BiH institutions, which deserved attention only in the recent period when journalists from the online magazine Zurnal announced that they bought high school diploma for only 14 days.
Also, three officers of the Sarajevo Police Department at the Sarajevo Ministry of Internal Affairs had suspiciously acquired secondary school diplomas.
