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.
