VULIĆ: ĆULUM'S TERM AS SIPA DIRECTOR HAS NEVER ENDED

SARAJEVO, JULY 29 /SRNA/ - The Head of the SNSD Caucus in the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly, Sanja Vulić, stated today that SIPA Director Darko Ćulum has never been dismissed and that his mandate has not ended.

During the discussion at the 27th emergency session of the House of Representatives, Vulić emphasized that Ćulum has never done anything wrong, nor would he allow such a thing.

She explained that Ćulum is not a SIPA officer, but was appointed as Director by the Supervisory Board, and that the requests to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him are unfounded.

Vulić said that even in the event of such proceedings, Ćulum has the right to a hearing and legal assistance.

"Politicking won’t help you, nor will it bring you the publicity you're seeking," Vulić emphasized.

She also warned that the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik is not on the agenda and that his name should not be mentioned.

"I'll ask you not to misuse the name of the President of Republika Srpska," Vulić said in response to MP Jasmin Emrić, who criticized Ćulum and linked him to the President of Republika Srpska.

Milorad Kojić, a member of the SNSD Caucus, stated during the discussion on the management of SIPA that the submitted materials were prepared based on media articles.
