The Committee on Finance and Budget of the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina today accepted the initiatives of MPs Damir Arnaut, Predrag Kojović, Aida Baručija and Mirjana Marinković-Lepić, asking the B&H Council of Ministers to allocate at least 300,000 KM to help victims of earthquakes in the Republic of Croatia.

The initiative of the mentioned deputies, which asks the Council of Ministers to allocate at least two million KM for the construction of a new facility of the Health Center in Bihać, was also approved. At the session, Arnaut, on behalf of all the submitters of the initiative, explained that the current facility of that health institution, after the devastating earthquake in neighboring Croatia, cannot adequately respond to the needs of providing primary health care to residents of Bihać and the wider area.

The next conclusion of the Committee, after the presented audit report on "Digitalization of TV signals in B&H", is that the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly, with its conclusion, asks the Ministry of Transport and Communications of B&H to report within three months on planned and undertaken activities of the audit report and informs the Audit Office of the Institutions of B&H about it.

The audit report on this topic stated that the process of digitalization of TV signals has not yet been completed, although Bosnia and Herzegovina has committed itself to this process. The first activities started in 2006, but the B&H institutions did not take all the necessary steps to complete this process.
