In the first part of the series on Chinese influence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, watch:
• How the Government of Republika Srpska secretly signed a contract worth 57 million BAM for the procurement of digital protection software for all institutions with the Chinese company ELINC.
• The operations of “BH Telecom” with the company “Huawei,” and why the introduction of a 5G network through this Chinese company poses a security risk.
• The construction of a hospital in Doboj, with the involvement of “China Sinopharm International Corporation.” The cost of construction is rising due to additional works that were not part of the original contract, currently exceeding 100 million BAM, and the completion of the work has been delayed from three to over five years.
• How the secrecy of contracts with Chinese partners opens the door to corrupt activities.
Six Bosnian and Herzegovinian portals: Capital, Fokus, Tačno.net, info-radar, Hercegovina-info, and Žurnal have prepared four films about the development of Chinese influence in this region.
