This is a rigged trial, those who filed this against me, justice will come to them, said Chief State Prosecutor Gordana Tadić at the end of the main hearing in the disciplinary proceedings against her before the First Instance Disciplinary Commission of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of B&H.

Among other things, Tadić stated that disciplinary proceedings are being conducted against her precisely because the Prosecutor's Office of B&H is working on cases of high corruption and organized crime.

At the beginning of the hearing, Prosecutor Tadić's lawyer Vlado Adamović asked HJPC Vice President Sanela Gorušanović-Butigan if he had any reason to ask for her dismissal since she attended a meeting with ISA Director Osman Mehmedagić.

Gorušanović-Butigan confirmed that the meeting was held in the HJPC building, and that she left it after Mehmedagić started to talk about certain disciplinary proceedings.

- I warned him that I am a member of the disciplinary commission and that I cannot talk about it at all. I asked to change the topic of conversation or to leave the meeting. In the end, the president of the HJPC, Halil Lagumdžija, said that it was best for me to leave the meeting because of possible negative connotations - said Gorušanović-Butigan.

After this explanation, Adamović withdrew the request for the Gorušanović-Butigan to be exemptioned.

During today's hearing before the HJPC, three witnesses from the Prosecutor's Office of B&H were questioned. The first to testify was Elma Šabeta from the Chief Prosecutor's Office, followed by Emil Pinkas, Deputy Chief of the Chief Prosecutor's Office, and Sibela Toskić, Head of the ICT Department of the Prosecutor's Office of B&H.

Most of the questions from both the defense and the UDT concerned the handover of the duties of the Chief State Prosecutor.

It was determined that the former chief prosecutor Goran Salihović did not hand over his duties, and that after the decision on the appointment of Gordana Tadić as acting president, he did not even appear in the Prosecutor's Office of B&H.

A special hearing was held regarding the assignment of cases in the Prosecutor's Office of B&H, and it was established that Chief State Prosecutor Tadić never suggested that a certain prosecutor be assigned a case. It has also been found that recently the assignment of cases is done automatically via the computer program TCMS.

The hearing is due to continue on June 28, when the material evidence will be presented, but also on July 12, when the director of the HJPC Secretariat, Admir Suljagić, and prosecutor Tadić will testify. Closing remarks will be made that day.
