As you know, the Entity prime ministers announced last year that they would secure the enactment of key reforms after the Special Auditor found that BiH public companies were losing tens of millions of KM every year in potential revenue because of mismanagement and fraud. Dealing with this issue effectively is an essential test of the entity author [...]

OHR’s Statement at the International Agency’s Joint Press Conference

OHR would just like to respond to recent comments in the media that cooperation with ICTY will be empty talk until SFOR establishes joint operations with BiH authorities.
