The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIN), an OCCRP partner, has received national media coverage after winning a court case in Bosnia and Herzegovina against Parliament in a freedom of information case.
In an interview for the TV program “Na Dnevnom Redu”, broadcast in Bosnia yesterday, CIN journalist Mirjana Popovic told reporters about the long court procedure they’d gone through to obtain records essential to a story.
On January 17, 2014, CIN make a request to the Secretariat of theBosnian Parliament for access to records on salaries and allowances for 57 lawmakers between November 2010 and January 2014. In February 2014, the Secretariat, however, sent CIN journalists only a list of laws and by-laws that regulate the salaries and allowances, leaving it to the journalists to calculate the earnings.
