Documentation Submitted by TI BiH to the RS Banking Agency in the Case of Bobar Bank

Transparency International BiH has received from the Banking Agency of RS the temporary management’s Report on the financial condition and future perspective of the Bobar Bank AD Bijeljina, as well as criminal charges against individuals employed in the Bobar Bank, which the Agency submitted to the District Prosecutor’s Office of Biljeljina (see attachment). TI BiH emphasizes that after constant insistence on information and sending a press release this documentation was disclosed. The Agency has not discloused the final Report on the process of appointment of temporary management with an explanation that the Report has not been completed yet, although the liquidation procedure of Bobar Bank AD Bijeljina is in progress.

In the previous period, TI BiH has received the Report on financial condition and future perspective of the Bank for 2012 and 2013 submitted by the RS Banking Agency (see enclosed file).

TI BiH has sent a request for access to information to the RS Banking Agency on all data, facts and findings which would support the claim that certain actions were taken in the case of Bobar Bank. Although, we have been informed that such information does exist, and that certain actions have been taken in this case, the Agency has refused to disclose the information on the pretext of official secret (see attachment). TI BiH has appealed against the impugned decision and will continue to inform public on all undertaken activities in order to inform public on the work of the RS Banking Agency and to gain insight into circumstances in the case of Bobar Bank.
