He added that within five days, additional business inspections would be conducted, and appropriate measures would be taken for the forest management units “Klekovaca-Potoci” in Istočni Drvar and “Ostrelj-Drinic” in Drinic, as well as for the public enterprise administration of “Forests of Republika Srpska.”

“All those identified as being involved in the illegal timber trade uncovered during inspections will be suspended, and their legal accountability will be established,” he stated.
