Comment of the chairman of the Council of Ministers of BiH and Minister of Finance of BiH, Nikola Špirić, and Dragan Vrankić, we were not able to receive yesterday.

Lazar Prodanović, deputy of chairman of the Commission for finance and budget of the House of Representatives of the Parliament of BiH, thinks that the members of temporary commissions should not be paid because that is a job they are doing during their work hours. "Membership in management and supervisory authorities should be paid, because if that was not paid, we would have a corruption problem. In cases when the officials have been nominated or selected, members of commissions still receive remunerations, then it is a classical conflict of interest", Prodanović has said.

As he has said, the Commission for administrative affairs of the Parliament of BiH will abolish the remunerations for commissions of the parliament.
