The Supervisor of Brcko, Robert W. Farrand, has reinstated today Mr. Eldin Mehic to his former position as a voting member of the Multiethnic Housing Commission (MEHC).
On 10 April 2000, Mr. Mehic was suspended from his position both as a voting member and as Secretary of the MEHC. Mr. Mehic was suspended pending an investigation into allegations that he had acted improperly in conjunction with a number of evictions that took place on 5 April 2000.
The investigation has now been completed. The inquiry has shown that there were procedural shortcomings in the actions undertaken by Mr Mehic, but has found no evidence that he had any improper motivation in organizing and carrying out the evictions.
Mr. Mehic has been offered his position back as a voting member of the Multiethnic Housing Commission. Nevertheless, the investigation concluded that it is not wise to have a voting member of the MEHC acting also as administrator of the Commission. Therefore, Mrs. Isabela Kin will continue to perform temporarily the duties of Secretary of the MEHC until the position is permanently filled.
