The Prosecutor's Office of the Sarajevo Canton is monitoring the media when it comes to the academic education of Sebija Izetbegović, director of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS), it was said in response to "Dnevni avaz" from this judicial institution.

Studying in Zagreb

However, the question we sent to Chief Prosecutor Sabina Sarajlija was: "Did the Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor's Office form a case against Sebija Izetbegović ex officio, after media articles about her academic education. Especially the part concerning studying in Zagreb?"

- We will react if the available information indicates the existence of a criminal offense for which we are responsible and which are not covered by the statute of limitations or amnesty. Until then, we believe that this is in the competence of the inspection, which is obliged to inform the competent prosecutor's office about the information about any criminal offense that was obtained during the inspection - it was said for "Avaz" from the SC Prosecutor's Office.

We remind you that the director of KCUS found herself at the center of a new affair because it is suspicious that she completed 10 postgraduate exams in Zagreb, which were then, according to unconfirmed information, recognized in Sarajevo. It is disputable that she enrolled in the postgraduate studies on March 2, 1993, and passed the first exam on March 19.

Rector of the University of Sarajevo (UNSA) prof. dr. Rifat Škrijelj told "Dnevni avaz" yesterday that he had received documentation from the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo related to the academic career of Dr. Sebije Izetbegović, but that it is incomplete.


Supplement data

Škrijelj asked the faculty for information about Izetbegović's postgraduate studies and for them to be submitted to him within eight days. However, as Škrijelj confirmed to us yesterday, he did not get everything he asked for, which is why he will ask for the data to be supplemented and new ones sent.

- I asked for information about the postgraduate study of prof. dr. Sebija Izetbegović and the documentation on the election to the title of assistant. Those were two things. I received an answer and certain documentation which is not complete and I ask them to provide me with a supplement to the answer and documentation. We are already preparing everything today because this is too serious topic to go public on the basis of documentation that is not complete – said Škrijelj for "Avaz"
