INSTITUTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Management Board of the Public Institution Social Welfare Center Tuzla. The Ombudsman issued its recommendation in this case 80, which was accepted by the Tuzla Town Council so that this case was resolved successfully. Example: 81 The Ombudsman processed a complaint related to the appointment to the Supervisory Board of the Institution for Placement of Persons with Mental Disabilities – Drin and the Management Board of the Institute for Placement of Persons with Mental Disabilities– Bakovići. The complainant claims that the responsible party is the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Policy. After the completed investigation the Ombudsman issued its recommendation to the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Policy 82. The mentioned Ministry replied claiming that the responsible public official is not obligated to assess and question the veracity of the claims provided by the candidates. Since this meant the lack of implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendation, the Ombudsman informed the superior instance about it. Example: 83 The Ombudsman registered a complaint related to the appointment of a member of the School Board of the Secondary School „Kupres“ where the Government of the Canton 10 was considered as a responsible party. The complaint indicates to the violation of the provisions of the Law on Ministerial and Government Appointments of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as the Government of the Canton 10 in Livno failed to reach a decision on appeal from the final appointment in this case. After the conducted proceedings Ombudspersons issued their recommendation 84. After some time, the complainant submitted in writing that he had never received any decision on his appeal, neither from the Ministry nor from the Government, not even after the issuance of the Ombudsman's recommendation. Ombudspersons informed the Assembly of the Canton 10 on this lack of implementation of their recommendation by the Government of the Canton 10. Example: 85 A complaint lodged with the Ombudsman related to the procedure of the election and appointment of a director of Heating Plant ''Toplana'' ad Prijedor. The responsible official informed the complainant 86 that he was not appointed to the position of a director of the Heating Plant ''Toplane'' ad Prijedor after the conducted public competition 87. Having received this information and in accordance to the available legal remedy the complainant appealed from this decision to the Supervisory Board of the Heating Plant ''Toplana'' ad Prijedor. After the relevant proceedings the Supervisory Board made its decision 88 to refuse the complainant's appeal. The reasoning provided shows that the decision-makers described the election procedure in detail including all the terms and circumstances. Based on all available information Ombudspersons held that in the procedure of the election and appointment no violation of the principels set out in Article 3 of the Law on Ministerial, Government and other Appointments of the Republika Srpska could be established. 80 P-139/19 dated 26 April 2019 Ž-SA-05-1018/18; Ž-SA-05-1020/18; Ž-SA-05-1144/18 82 P-136/19 dated 01 April 2019 and P-137/19 dated 06 June 2019 83 Ž-LI-05-25/19 84 P-112/19 dated 30 April 2019 85 Ž-BL-05-338/19 86 A document no.: 020-876/19 dated 02 April.2019 87 Public competition no. : 02-199/19, dated 24 January 2019 88 Decision no.: 020-1051-3-19, dated 25 April 2019 81 30
