BiH Statistical Agency officials have said that the BiH-wide census, which is still ongoing, will have to be re-conducted in five census tracts in Srebrenica, due to irregularities with data collection and handling.
A number of enumerators working in Srebrenica have been accused of misconduct, including filling out census forms themselves, attempting to leave BiH with census forms, and taking completed forms to their own homes instead of central storage facilities.
Complaints have also been made against enumerators in other parts of BiH, including Sarajevo and Banja Luka. This year’s census is the first since the wars of the 1990s.
