PDHR Speaks on Corporate Governance inBanja Luka

As we speak, Principal Deputy High Representative, Donald Hays is holding a press conference in Banja Luka with RS Prime Minister Dragan Mikerevic and RS Supreme Auditor Bosko Ceko to publicise the measures being taken in order to clean up corporate governance and ensure that public companies are run for the benefit of the public and not for the benefit of a small number of dishonest managers.

The press conference will address the widespread fraud and incompetence uncovered by the audits of Srpske Sume, and the steps that the government has already taken, and will take over the coming months, to address specific problems at the company and systemic problems throughout the public sector.
