The Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo did not submit prof. dr. Rifat Škrijelj, Rector of the University of Sarajevo (UNSA), certificate of passed postgraduate exams of Sebija Izetbegović in Zagreb, "Dnevni avaz" finds out.

Two requests

15 days ago, Škrijelj asked the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo for documentation related to the academic career of Dr. Sebija Izetbegović, general director of KCUS, but it was incomplete, which is why last week he demanded that it should be supplemented and a new one sent.

On two occasions, the Rector requested information about the Izetbegović's postgraduate study and documentation on the election to the title of assistant, with precise evidence and certificates of passed exams. However, even in the supplemented information, the Faculty of Medicine did not submit to the UNSA Rectorate, as we have learned, a certificate of passing the postgraduate exams of Sebija Izetbegović in Zagreb.

The Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo sent the Rectorate a copy of the Sebija Izetbegović's student booklet, which is not relevant proof of her academic education.

- There is also no decision of the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo which is recognizing the exams - claims our interlocutor, who is familiar with the complete procedure.

As we were told unofficially, Škrijelj decided to seek answers from the Faculty of Medicine in Zagreb in order to confirm the credibility of the student booklet. We remind you that it is still illogical how and when Sebija Izetbegović passed the first exam at the "postgraduate studies" in Zagreb in 1993.

In her application in August 1994 to the Council for Scientific Research and Postgraduate Studies in Sarajevo, she stated that she had enrolled in postgraduate studies on March 2nd, 1993 at the University of Zagreb - Faculty of Medicine.

But the published "Zagreb" student booklet reveals that Sebija Izetbegović, as she stated, enrolled in postgraduate studies on March 2nd, 1993, and already on March 19th, more precisely in 17 days, she passed the first exam.

She was not registered student

The real question is when and how Sebija Izetbegović attended classes in the semester, because then the classes lasted for two years. In addition, each semester had a number of lectures and exercises that had to be done in order to take the exam.

It was established that Sebija was not a registered student at the postgraduate studies, which was recently confirmed to us by prof. Sanja Kupešić, who at that time worked at the Faculty of Medicine in Zagreb and was a lecturer.

The inspection requests additional documentation

Inspectors of the Cantonal Administration for Inspection Affairs (KUIP), who last week began supervision at the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo with the aim of checking Izetbegović's academic education, continue to work.

As it was confirmed to us yesterday by the KUIP, the inspection continues with the collection of additional documentation necessary for the conduct of the inspection procedure. The Faculty of Medicine is obliged to submit all data to the acting inspectors within a period not longer than five days.
