The Bosnian State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) raised criminal charges against the prime minister of Bosnia’s Serb Republic, Milorad Dodik, and several other ministers for abuse of power, local media reported Thursday. SIPA investigated several building projects in Serb Republic (RS) and determined that the government of RS and certain other institutions did “several criminal acts of organized crime, money laundering and abuse of power” damaging the budgets of both RS and Bosnia by 145 million Bosnian marks (93.2 million dollars).
Beta news agency reports that charges were raised against 11 other people who “collaborated in criminal organization led by Milorad Dodik.”
Bosnia is made up of two autonomous entities, the Muslim-Croat federation and the Serb Republic.
