SARAJEVO, May 8 (FENA) - Analyzing the work of cantonal assemblies in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Centers for Civic Initiatives (CCI) have determined that they had an extremely poor intensity of work in the first quarter of 2018, with only 40 percent.
The results of the analysis, as highlighted today at the CCI Media Conference, point to the low efficiency and modest effects of the quarterly work of most cantonal assemblies, as compared to the last quarter of 2017 when 40 sessions were held, only 24 were held in the first three months of 2018.
“The largest part of the measures in the first quarter of this year was approved by the Sarajevo Canton Assembly, which considered 43 different measures at three held sessions,” Ivica Čavar, project manager and CCI monitoring consultant, said.
In the first quarter of this year, the Podrinje and the West Herzegovina cantonal assemblies considered only five each and the Canton 10 Assembly seven different measures. The Assembly of the Herzegovina-Neretva, Bosnia-Podrinje (Goražde) and the Central Bosnia Canton considered less than 15 measures.
The frequency of holding sessions of cantonal assemblies, the time spent on and around them, and the results of this work, as Alen Čular and Ana Lucić of CCI said, seriously bring into question the justification, appropriateness and morality, of paying for this work.
Thanks to the principled decision of their representatives at the beginning of the current mandate, confirmed at the adoption of the Law on Salaries and Compensations in the authorities of the Zenica Doboj Canton, no member of the Assembly, with the exception of the Chairman, is not on the payroll of the Assembly, and so-called "white bread" compensation, as one of the most controversial privileges that politicians in BiH have, has been abolished.
“Instead of an adequate social appreciation, the positive example from the ZDC has encountered consistent ignoring and refusal by the politicians in other territories to follow it,” the CCI conference concluded.
The CCI strongly advocates the need to hold well-organized thematic sessions, and recommends, among other things, the need to intensify the work in the future, increase the number of sessions, effective working hours, the number of agenda items, and the number of laws, in order to compensate for backlogs from the previous period.
