Izetbegović: If my wife is not a good manager, she will not be able to remain director of the UKCS

Guest on the Pressing show on N1 with editor and host Amir Zukić, Bakir Izetbegović, president of the SDA and chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, answered questions about his wife, Sebija Izetbegović, director of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo, and how much the recent controversies surrounding Sebija Izetbegović and the merger of hospitals affect him?

- Why would the General Hospital be shut down. These are virtual topics. My wife was a good manager at the General Hospital, she is a good manager at the KCUS. Why would anything be merged. It weighs on my conscience if my wife's management is bad for patients. I think she has done a good job for patients. If not... she will not be able to stay where she is. What reaches me from ordinary people is that everything has improved. Waiting lists are not long, you get your turn quickly - said Izetbegović.

People often complain that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a "Bantustan" because the member of the Presidency is the son of a former president, and whose wife is the director of the strongest healthcare institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

- I was elected to the Presidency in strong competition, twice. I do not think I am doing my job poorly, voters do not think so. The vote ratio has increased. And I will not hinder my wife from doing good work for patients. It is time for her to do a good job at the Clinical Center, and I will not hinder her from doing a good job - said Izetbegović on Pressing, NAP reports.
