MASSIVE TIMBER POACHING IN PRIVATE FORESTS: Croat returnees in Kotor Varoš suffered loss of hundreds of thousands of marks, poachers in cahoots with the local police
The response of the Police administration of Banja Luka to Valter states that, while acting upon a report made by the forest owners, the police officers did not discover timber poachers at the location. It only reinforces suspicion raised by Podbrđe residents - that local policemen are in cahoots with the poachers and they are alerting them of any police action. Although two years have passed since the report was filed with the Prosecutor’s Office in Banjaluka, the case is still “in progress”
