Ribnik: “Clearcutting of Forests” – Naked Criminality in “Šume”

Violating the law and other regulations on forest protection, the forestry management "Ribnik" committed a true ecocide of forest resources in the area of this municipality through clearcutting on an area larger than ten hectares. For this job, the company "Šiling" was engaged in a suspicious procedure via public procurement, whose owner is Dušan Barjaktarević, a municipal councillor of the ruling SNSD.

Non-existence of a Federation Law on Forests, challenges in managing structures of the forestry companies, and favoritism are just some of the extenuating circumstances for frenzied logging on the territory of the Federation of BiH. While the Laws on Forests exist in nine cantons, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton is the only one without the law due to the fear of whose cadre will be recruited to the forestry company.
