Nikola Spiric, an MP in Bosnia’s House of Representatives, has been on the US blacklist for years on the account of corruption charges, but to date, no one has asked for any evidence of these claims, MP Damir Arnaut said Thursday commenting on the fact that the House adopted the initiative on Wednesday to obtain the corruption documents from the US.
“Spiric’s been on the US blacklist for years due to corruption. The US Embassy once stated that his activities harmed the interests of the US and the citizens of BiH, without it ever occurring to anyone to ask for evidence so that the BiH public could gain insight into these activities. This negligence enabled Spiric to continue to hold the most responsible state functions in the country. Among others, he is a member of the Commission for the Selection and Monitoring of the Work of the Agency for Prevention and Coordination of the Fight against Corruption,” Arnaut said. “However, the initiative adopted yesterday instructs the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of BiH to start the procedure of requesting, through diplomatic and other channels, the information and documentation from the competent US authorities regarding their allegations,” Damir Arnaut said.
The House of Representatives adopted the parliamentary initiative of Predrag Kojovic, Aida Barucija, Mirjana Marinkovic-Lepic and Damir Arnaut, which reads: Within 10 days of the adoption of this initiative, the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are to begin the procedure requesting the information and documentation form competent US institutions, through diplomatic and other appropriate channels, proving that Nikola Spiric was involved in and benefited from public corruption, including the improper gain in the exercise of public office and obstruction of public processes during his term as a member of the House of Representatives of the PABiH.
