The trial of the Prime Minister of the Federation of B&H, Bakir's Prime Minister Fadil Novalić and others in the "Respirators" affair continued today in the Court of B&H.

In addition to Novalić, FB&H Finance Minister Jelka Milićević, suspended director of the Federal Civil Protection Administration Fahrudin Solak and Fikret Hodžić, owner of the "Silver Raspberry" company, are also charged. They are accused of procuring 100 respirators from China worth 10.5 million KM. They are also on trial for the purchase of medical equipment worth 2.9 million KM.

Aida Čorbeg, an anesthesiologist from Travnik, testified as a witness at today's hearing. She explained the circumstances of communication with Novalić's secretary Bahra Džaka, who, according to the previously presented correspondence, was interested in the quality of certain types of respirators.

-In the mail I received a picture of a respirator "Gorej 3.000" which I said was good and that they should search in that direction. She said that there was no regular tender procedure, that it was a state of emergency, that's how I understood it. I said about transport respirators that they are not okay and that they should not consider them. - stated Čorbeg.

She testified that when giving her opinion, she was guided by the specification of the device since she was an anesthesiologist.

- In one message, I received a picture of a transport respirator, which I said was out of the question, and Bahra replied that she would tell this to the Prime Minister, and let him decide. I was getting pictures and specifications of several respirators, I was just looking at those that could be used in intensive care units - said Čorbeg.

Čorbeg also said that in the message from Džaka she received a specification of the respirator "ICU Ventilator" which was named by the code, and according to the specification she determined that it meets the criteria for the treatment of patients with coronavirus.

She also said that she sent Džaka contacts of companies that procure respirators to facilitate the process via Viber, and in one of the messages Džaka wrote to her: "I don't know why the Prime Minister took to do this, he transferred everything to the cabinet."
