Lijanović fishes in troubled waters: Despite the ban, the minister hires party people!

Despite the moratorium agreed upon by coalition partners at the FBiH level banning further appointments and hirings until the government is formed, the Minister of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry Jerko Ivanković Lijanović (NSRzB) has, through the Agency for Civil Service, announced a competition for two positions, writes the Patria news agency.

Lijanović thus continues to place his own people, and the competition has been announced for the two most important positions in this ministry.

The competition has been announced for the position of Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Assistant Minister for Agricultural Payments.

- Professional exams are scheduled for February 9 and 10, and I fear that by then the handover of the mandate will not have been completed and it will be too late. They will secure their candidates Stipe Šakić and Josip Jukić, the two biggest criminals. This will be the final death blow for agriculture, and we know that agriculture is strategically important for our country - says our source.

Šakić is otherwise Lijanović's advisor, and while his boss was in prison, he was in charge of distributing agricultural incentives from the budget. Josip Jukić is the acting assistant of the Agricultural Payments Sector.

Fishing in troubled waters has long been known for Lijanović, who is associated with many scandals, and it seems that this time too he will succeed in achieving his goals and placing cadres who were loyal to them.
