Preventing corruption in judiciary and legislative must be addressed as priority

FENA Fedzad Forto

STRASBOURG/SARAJEVO, May 22 (FENA) – Preventing corruption in the legislative and the judiciary is key to boost the trust in these institutions and must be addressed as a matter of priority, said Marin Mrčela, President of Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), the Council of Europe's anti-corruption monitoring body.

Mr. Mrčela gave this statement after GRECO, in its newest Compliance Report on BiH regarding earlier recommendations on corruption prevention in respect of members of parliament, judges and prosecutors, warned that BiH had implemented satisfactorily none of the 15 recommendations contained in the Fourth Round Evaluation Report. Eleven recommendations have been partly implemented and four have not been implemented.

“Over 2 years have passed since the adoption of the Evaluation Report by GRECO on the prevention of corruption in respect of MPs, judges and prosecutors in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately, none of the fifteen recommendations GRECO addressed to Bosnia and Herzegovina have been fully implemented so far. While I am aware that work is underway, I urge the authorities to speed up their reform efforts to bring the country in line with GRECO’s recommendations as soon as possible. Preventing corruption in the legislative and the judiciary is key to boost the trust in these institutions and must be addressed as a matter of priority,” Marin Mrčela, President of GRECO, said in the statement to the media.
