SARAJEVO, March 23 (FENA) - The anti-corruption team of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina received today a valuable donation of ICT equipment from international partners, the US Government and the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will advance the fight against corruption.
Damir Šapina, a member of the FBiH Government's Anti-corruption Team, said that in the last period, considerable progress has been made in the Federation in the fight against corruption and organized crime.
He pointed out that the establishment of special departments for the fight against corruption and organized crime in the Supreme Court and the FBiH Prosecutor's Office is underway.
“The budget of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for 2023 provided funds for the construction of the FBiH Palace of Justice, where all judicial institutions, the Supreme Court, the FBiH Prosecutor's Office and the Court Police will be housed at one place,” pointed out Šapina.
He also emphasized that they are building a new prison in Blažuj with the support of pre-accession funds from the European Union in the amount of 4.6 million euros.
“The premises used by the Sarajevo Penitentiary in the center of the city will be reconstructed and handed over to the municipal and cantonal court in Sarajevo, thereby creating the conditions for strengthening the personnel of the courts,” he pointed out.
Šapina emphasized that in cooperation with the American Bar Association they are working on harmonizing all laws on criminal procedure in Bosnia and Herzegovina and that in cooperation with the OSCE Mission they are working on improving the Criminal Code of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and harmonizing it with the Istanbul and Lanzarote Conventions.
