Transparency International – Russia supports TIBiH

We strongly condemn the orchestrated attack against your organization launched by the top official of your country and we really hope that suspension of your operations will not last long. We also hope that Bosnian law enforcement will ensure personal safety of each and everyone of you and that immediate independent investigation will prove that all the allegations against you were false and baseless leading to the ineluctable investigation against those who are trying to cover their own illicit actions with attacks against you.

Please be sure that the Center Transparency International – Russia and each of us personally is ready to provide you with any possible assistance in this alarming situation. We are already preparing letter to the Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Russia expressing our concerns in regard to the latest events and we are posting relevant information on our web-site and sending it over to Russian civic organizations and media. Please let us know if you need any concrete assistance or information. Here, in Russia we know it all too well what does it mean to conduct anti-corruption work in systemically corrupt country.

Warmest regards,

Elena A. Panfilova
General Director
Center TI-Russia
