I submitted a resignation to the Minister of Internal Affairs Admir Katica NiP and the Canton Sarajevo CS Government to protect the integrity of the position of police commissioner. Although we had the chance to hear that there was a deliberate implementation of someone's agenda to weaken the security system, my conscience is completely clear, because I know that I led honorable people in the Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of CSInternal Affairs of CS, whose sole agenda is to protect the lives and property of all citizens of CS, the fight against organized crime and corruption, and particularly in the fight against organized crime and corruption.

Selimovic will continue to serve the duties of a police commissioner until the creation of legal prerequisites for the appointment of a police officer, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of CSInternal Affairs of CS announced.

He resigned because of the long and great pressure, and the current cantonal government reproached him for alleged omissions related to technical-procedural issues. Because of this, he received negative evaluations from the Independent Board, which held a session yesterday.

The Independent Board considered the above issues but not those related to the work of the Sarajevo police on the Sky case. A large number of criminal acts have been involved in the case. All these acts are being investigated by the police under the leadership of Selimovic.

A large number of people were arrested last year as part of the investigation of the case, several narcotics smuggling chains were broken, and much more.
