SARAJEVO, July 8 (FENA) - Member of the Joint Committee for Supervision of the Intelligence and Security Agency (OSA) Nenad Stevandić (Serb caucus) left today's session of the Committee, which demanded that the Director of the Intelligence and Security Agency (OSA) Osman Mehamedagić submits his diplomas for verification.
“At the session, we learned that the new diplomas submitted by the Director of OSA were classified as top secret documents meaning that the parliamentarians were forbidden public access. I think that this is unacceptable and that the director has risen above the Prosecutor's Office of BiH and the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH - to declare his own diploma a top secret document, so that others would not have insight. No one has ever done that before and that is a great embarrassment. Those who support it politically should be ashamed,” said Stevandić.
The Committee, in addition to the OSA director's diploma, asked the chairman of the BiH Council of Ministers, Zoran Tegeltija, to provide them with the names of candidates for director, deputy and chief inspector of the Agency, as well as whether the incumbent director meets all the requirements, given that his diploma had been annulled.
The Committee has asked the Prosecutor's Office of BiH to investigate the allegations according to which Mehmedagić violated the Law on the OSA BiH.
The Joint Committee gives an opinion, but this opinion is not binding for the Council of Ministers when it conducts appointments, including the one in the case of the Director of the OSA BiH.
