Goran Salihovic

Suspended Bosnian chief prosecutor Goran Salihovic is to stand before a disciplinary commission on Monday as part of the disciplinary procedure against him launched as a result of an investigation initiated last year.

This started after he was accused of protecting Republika Srpska entity leader Milorad Dodik in several major corruption investigations.

The Disciplinary Commission of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (VSTV) has suspended Chief Prosecutor of Bosnia-Herzegovina Goran Salihovic.

The Banja Luka daily Nezavisne Novine reported this unofficially on Wednesday.

The chief prosecutor of Bosnia-Herzegovina has confirmed that his office is investigating RS President Milorad Dodik in connection with the Pavlovic Bank.

"The investigation is conducted within the 'Pavloviv Bank' (case). Three or four investigations against Dodik have been closed," Goran Salihovic has told the Sarajevo-based daily Oslobodjenje.

Confirmation that Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska and leader of the ruling Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, SNSD, is being investigated in connection with a failed bank will have an impact on the local elections due in October, experts say.
