After the publication of an article on the portal Frontal.ba titled "The Municipality of Berkovići Violated the Public Procurement Law: And Where is the One Million BAM from the Council of Ministers of BiH?", the Municipal Administration immediately responded and refuted all the claims made in that article.
In our response, we provided a detailed explanation of how the one million BAM, approved by the Council of Ministers of BiH, was spent in accordance with the law and transparently, for the benefit of the citizens of the Municipality of Berkovići.
A recent audit of the operations of the Municipality of Berkovići, conducted by the Main Service for the Audit of the Public Sector of the Republic of Srpska, confirmed the correctness of the actions of the Municipal Administration. It was determined that there were no violations of the Public Procurement Law, nor were there any "missing funds." All financial flows and projects, including the renovation of the Njegoš Elementary School, were carried out in accordance with the law and in the interest of the citizens of our municipality.
Once again, we appeal to the public and the media to refrain from publishing unverified and malicious information in the future, which damages the reputation of the municipality and misleads the citizens. The Municipality of Berkovići remains committed to transparent operations and will continue to manage public funds responsibly, for the benefit of all its citizens.
We remind you that the Municipality of Berkovići received a positive opinion regarding the compliance of activities, financial transactions, and information presented in the financial reports with legal and other regulations, and a qualified opinion for the audit of financial reports.
