He added that one of the larger projects, which is about to be finished, is the opening and putting into operation of a state prison, which was finally built after 13 years and there are assumptions that it will be put into operation this spring.

The foundation of each rule of law is an independent, impartial and effective judiciary, and reform of the entire judicial system in BiH, including the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC), should be a constant and ongoing process. Reform of the judiciary has been and remains my priority, so in the coming period I will do my best to reopen this issue and find solution as soon as possible,” he said.
Regarding the Law on the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC), Grubeša recalled that they formed a working group composed of experts from all levels that would analyze the existing solution, take into account the assessment of the expert commission and other relevant indicators and make sustainable draft law that will make the necessary changes to the HJPC organization.
