The Disciplinary Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia’s top judicial institution, the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC), said that there is no legal basis for the removal of state prosecutor Dijana Kajmakovic from her post after she was sanctioned by the United States.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Diana Kajmakovic, a state prosecutor in Bosnia and Herzegovina for being responsible for or complicit in corruption or the undermining of democratic processes or institutions in the Western Balkans, the Treasury Department said Monday.

The institution said that will act within the framework of the prescribed competencies and that Kajmakovic will be investigated.
“Articles 76 and 77 of the Law on the HJPC prescribe the reasons for the temporary removal of a judge or prosecutor from office. The office has no information that at this moment a criminal investigation has been initiated against Diana Kajmakovic, nor that there is another legal basis for temporary removal,” the statement said.
In its announcement on the designation of Kajmakovic, the US Treasury said that she “is a brazenly corrupt BiH state prosecutor with links to criminal organizations”.
“As part of a larger crackdown on organized crime and narcotics trafficking in BiH, investigators analyzed private conversations conducted via encrypted messaging applications. Criminals in these encrypted conversations mentioned Kajmakovic, who worked on some of the investigations concerning this activity. In support of narcotics traffickers and other criminals, Kajmakovic helped hide evidence, prevent prosecution, and otherwise assist criminal activity in exchange for personal gain. She also attempted to block an investigation into her apparent criminal affiliates,” the US Treasury statement said.
