Criminal charges brought against Federal and Cantonal Prime Ministers

B&H Social-Democrat Union (UBSD)

Sarajevo, 16 August, 1997 (AIM) - UBSD warned during several last months, through UBSD MP in B&H Parliament, about different kind of financial malversations and actions directly in opposition to the B&H Constitution. Leading mono-national parties took no care about those warnings. Last time, in August, 1997, Justice Council UBSD warned again public and certain officials in B&H Federation and Canton about misuse of functions of some leading persons.

After being ignored again, and based on concrete documents, UBSD brought criminal charges against: Mr. Edhem Bicakcic, Prime Minister B&H Federation, Mr. Midhat Haracic, President Canton Sarajevo and Mr. Kemal Kozaric, Finance Minister Canton Sarajevo, because of violation of B&H Constitution (Art. III and Art. IVB) and Canton Sarajevo Constitution (Art. 25 and Art. 29) and violation of function in a view of realization of profit for themselves.(End)
