SARAJEVO, January 22 (FENA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina has received information from the Permanent Representation of BiH to the Council of Europe, according to which a commission was established to conduct investigative procedures against three members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe from BiH, including a lawmaker from the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH, Milica Marković.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed this in a statement forwarded to the public after Ms. Marković’s attack on the BiH Foreign Minister Igor Crnadak in the previous days, and especially because, as stated, Ms. Marković’s incorrect claims that she is not the subject of any investigation in the Council of Europe.

In the information provided to the Ministry, it is stated that a commission was established on the request of some members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) to investigate allegations of corruption of three PACE members, including Ms. Marković.

This commission has been given the mandate to, among other things, collect the necessary documentation and required information regarding the possible corruptive activities of these three PACE members, as well as any other PMs suspected in the meantime.

“The special investigative body was established by the decision of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in June 2017, consisting of three independent experts. This body convened for the first time in July 2017, and held the first witness hearings in September,” reads the statement.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs regrets that one of the members of the PACE from BiH is the subject of suspicion of corruption in the framework of its parliamentary activities, reads the statement of the PR Office of the BiH Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
