The Council of Employees of the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NUB BiH) warned today in Sarajevo that the employees of that institution will stop providing services to the public from today until further notice.
The President of the Council, Aldin Huskić, stated at the press conference that the reason for this decision was the lack of a concrete policy on the part of the authorities to solve their situation, which is why they no longer have the conditions for functioning and work.
He added that the Government of Sarajevo Canton allocated 300,000 BAM from its budget for NUBBiH through the Ministry of Culture and Sports, as well as 100,000 BAM through the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Youth, which is significant for the employees to begin with.
Huskić stated that these intervention funds will enable them to pay off part of the debts owed to the workers, but unfortunately they are not sufficient for the long-term survival of the institution.
He announced that workers will continue to work on finding additional solutions to ensure stability and the continuation of all activities.
Huskić emphasized that their demands remain the same, namely the appointment of a management structure and a defined and stable legal and financial status of the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Fena writes.
