On April 15, 2024, the European Union's Twinning project “Strengthening capacities of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and Coordination of Fight Against Corruption” officially launches in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Special Investigation Service (STT) will participate as a junior partner.
The main partner of the Project is the Italian National Anticorruption Authority (ANAC). Additionally, the project will involve the Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania, anti-corruption experts from Austria and Germany.
The beneficiary of this project is the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and Coordination of Fight Against Corruption (APIK) of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this project is to consolidate the APIK’s key technical and functional capacities so that it can lead Bosnia and Herzegovina toward more strategic anti-corruption (prevention) policies.
The project, which will last for 24 months, is funded with 1 million euros from the European Commission.
The STT will be responsible for the successful implementation of individual Project components and activities. The administrative and financial management of the project will be ensured by the ANAC.
This is already the eighth EU Twinning project implemented by the STT.
