Parliament official: Equipment in Parliament building swapped without approval

While public servants were on vacation, employees of an unknown company entered the premises of Bosnia’s Parliament and swapped equipment without the approval of the Parliament Secretariat, the head of the institution’s Common Service said on Wednesday.

Kenan Vehabovic said that employees of the company swapped two new plasma screens and put up other ones in one of the halls, leaving a paper which contains the name of the company. He would not, however, reveal which company that was before a Secretariat session scheduled for Monday.

Vehabovic said that the head of the Service for Common Affairs of the Institutions in Bosnia, Dragan Sojic, ordered the equipment to be changed.

“What is problematic in all of this is that there is a clear guideline on how the premises of the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina are to be used, which was adopted by both houses, and it says this is exclusively  within the competency of the Secretariat,” Vehabovic said.

“Nobody can enter any rooms in Bosnia’s Parliament, the security service must not allow anyone inside unless we agree to it, and nobody asked us,” he stressed.

The act probably took place on August 5 or August 7, he said.
