30 NGOs SENT AN OPEN LETTER TO MEMBERS OF BOSNIAN PARLIAMENT

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (April 3,2008) – Some 30 NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) sent an open letter to delegates of both houses of the Bosnian Parliament in which they state their concern because of enormous greed of elected officials which these days escalated in shocking demands for extremely high salaries and pensions.

In the letter they comment on the lack of measure, self control, social sensitivity and distance from the people they belong to and whose representatives they should be. Taking this into account it is only even more shocking that all of this is happening after the public was informed about catastrophic results of their work or to say lack of work, incompetence and inefficiency.

"Instead of changing the attitude towards their work, introduction of restrictive measures to those who do not want to work, resignations and lay offs, the government is laughing in our faces by reaching for even more money from us, showing a complete loss of reality. Government which ignores the needs of its citizens, robs these very citizens of their money and almost openly invites for rebellion, social disturbances and violence of this unbearable state," stated the open letter to the members of the Bosnian Parliament.
