Brcko Supervisor and Transparency International sign Memorandum of Understanding on fighting corruption

Yesterday, a Memorandum of Understanding for implementation of an anti-corruption project called “Strengthening integrity of the District institutions” was signed at the Brcko Final Award Office. The signatories of the Memorandum are Brcko Supervisor Dr Raffi Gregorian and Executive Director of Transparency International BiH Srdjan Blagovcanin.

The Project’s goal is to assist citizens in achieving improved governance and transparency in Brcko District.

Transparency International will help identify causes and scope of corruption and its consequences for the society, assist in evaluating the integrity of District institutions and guide citizens in methods of fighting corruption and creating a climate where corruption will not be tolerated.

 “We are pleased that Transparency International has established a presence in Brcko and believe that this project will enable the citizens to take things into their own hands after Supervision ends.  I encourage Brcko District institutions and residents to strongly support this project,” said Supervisor Gregorian.
