Public hearing of Minister Edin Forto in the BiH Parliament today

(Patria) - The Commission for Combating Corruption of the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH will today, starting at 12:00 PM, publicly hear the Minister of Communications and Transport of BiH, Edin Forto.

Besides the South Interconnection project, representatives of the Ministry of Communications and Transport of BiH will also be heard today regarding the Law on the Agency for Civil Aviation Services of BiH (BHANSA).

Earlier, the Commission for Combating Corruption of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliament raised the issue of the need to hear Forto due to the persistent push for amendments to the BHANSA Law, known among parliamentarians as the "son-in-law law".

These amendments to the law, which is again in procedure after being rejected in the BiH Parliament, among other things, stipulate that members of BHANSA's management will no longer have a limited number of terms.

Davorin Primorac, the son-in-law of Dragan Čović, the leader of the ruling HDZ, heads this state agency, and according to the current law, this would be his last term in that position.

At the last session of the Committee on Transport and Communications of the House of Representatives, held on January 22, a decision was made for another public hearing of Minister Forto.

This time, due to the poor performance of the Ministry he heads and because he has not complied with the conclusion of the House of Representatives regarding the Road Traffic Safety Law for a year and a half. That hearing is scheduled to take place on February 11.
