Projekat za oporavak od poplava: Javni poziv za odabir korisnica i korisnika pomoći (UNDP, Mon Oct 09 00:00:00 UTC 2017)

 

Projekat za oporavak od poplava: Javni poziv za odabir korisnica i korisnika pomoći ba.undp.org #UNDP #Poplave #Bosna i Hercegovina #EU Prema informacijama sa FB stranice EU Programa za oporavak od poplava koji je pokrenut 2014, a završio 29.02.2016., sa (vrlo diskutabilnim) rezultatima koji uključuju - povratak u domove, porast zaposlenosti, povratak djece u škole i obdaništa, i ponovno uspostavljanje zdravstvene i socijalne zaštite, čime je ostvaren pozitivan uticaj na živote više od 610.000 ljudi u BiH! Ipak - čini se da se BiH još uvijek oporavlja od poplava iz maja 2014., jer je UNDP koji provodi ovaj program, početkom oktobra objavio javni poziv za odabir korisnica i korisnika iz socijalno ugroženih kategorija stanovništva, za izgradnju i sanaciju stambenih jedinica uništenih ili oštećenih u poplavama 2014. godine. Poziv koji je otvoren do 9. novembra, možete preuzeti na linku u prilogu.

Statement by EU Ambassador Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, following the HJPC conclusions of 26 October 2017 on the dismissal of judges and prosecutors (27/10/2017)

Statement by EU Ambassador Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, following the HJPC conclusions of 26 October 2017 on the dismissal of judges and prosecutors

• 27.10.2017.

The European Union takes note of the conclusions adopted by the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) on 26 October 2017 in connection to the information submitted by the Centre for Investigating War and War Crime and Search for Missing Persons from Republika Srpska.

Certain of the conclusions adopted by the HJPC raise concerns and could directly affect the independence of judges and prosecutors as well as the respect of the fundamental rights.

Fair trial is prerequisite for public trust in the judicial system. The presumption of innocence is at the core of the fundamental rights protected by the European Union.

No public official, including judges and prosecutors, should be dismissed without a proper independent investigation and disciplinary procedures first being applied. The appropriate sanction should only be decided after such procedures have been conducted and the allegations against the officials found to be grounded in the law. Circumventing such procedures will limit the independence and impartiality of the judiciary and is not in line with EU standards.

As recently proposed by the EU experts, there is a need to improve the criteria for appointment and dismissal of officials, in line with EU standards.

And any such improvements need to take full account of the need to maintain the independence of judiciary as well as the respect of fundamental rights.

The blog author: The statement is the reaction to
 the conclusions adopted by the BaH High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council HJPC in relation to the Information filed by Republika Srpska Center for Investigation of War, War Crimes and Search for Missing Persons. The information included the names of 9 judges and 6 prosecutors reported on the grounds of discrimination of Serbs in the war crime proceedings, as well as the documentation about their war past making them biased or discreditable for performing independent judicial or prosecutorial function.

After discussing this Information a multi-ethnic HJPC as a body in charge of appointment of judges and prosecutors in BaH decided to undertake several urgent steps including the submission of the Information and documentation to the Office of Disciplinary Prosecutor and BaH Prosecutor's Office, requesting urgent proceedings. One of the most important conclusions is related to the initiation of the procedure of amendments of the Law on HJPC to introduce an exceptional, extraordinary measure for dismissal of a judge or prosecutor without a prior disciplinary procedure. The HJPC is to prepare the contents of this provision in line with the legal standards and requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights that will be submitted as a proposal to the relevant national institutions.

SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina), November 11 (SeeNews) - Investment fund US Global Invest LLC is taking over all ownership rights in Bosnia's Bosna Sema Educational Institutions, Bosna Sema has announced.

The representatives of the US Global Invest LLC and Bosna Sema had successfully completed negotiations regarding the transfer of all ownership rights to the US fund, Bosna Sema said in a press release late on Thursday.

Financial details were not disclosed.

The US fund has also initiated the process for obtaining accreditation in the US and plans to establish double degree arrangements with some prominent academic institutions in the US.

"We are impressed with what we saw in the campus, and we are now very confident that we as foreign investors we made a good decision. We know that investing in this project is important and beneficial for Bosnia and Herzegovina and its citizens, but also for the company I represent as the advisor", professor Samuel Henry, advisor for educational affairs in US Global Invest LLC, is quoted as saying in the release.

Bosna Sema Educational Institutions are privately owned institutions covering the area of upbringing and education, based in Sarajevo. It was established in 1998, with the aim to assist and support the educational system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosna Sema owns 14 educational institutions including the International Burch University.

New ownership engagement will not affect the flow of education processes at schools and at Burch University, Bosna Sema added in the press release.

Earlier this year, local media reported that Bosna Sema will gift its entire assets, worth some 120 million marka ($66.8 million/61.4 million euro), to the Islamic Community in Bosnia, however it was later reported that the transaction will not take place.

US Global Investment LLC is an investment company established in 1999.
