The head of BiH’s High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC), Milan Tegeltija, said that BiH’s largest Bosniak party, the SDA, is trying to restore its influence on the work of the judiciary.
He and his institution have been under fire over the state of the judiciary, with both local politicians and international community officials, including Bosnia’s international administrator, asking for a reform of the HJPC.
Tegeltija said that “the judiciary managed to tear itself away from that political control and make itself independent, but then the witch hunt which came from certain political circles in the Federation (FBiH) entity, primarily from the Party for Democratic Action (SDA), began.”
