Komsic Approves 12,636 KM Reserve Funds for Elevator Repair
Presidency member Zeljko Komsic signed a decision releasing 12,636 marks from the contingency reserve to repair the elevator in a Sarajevo building where, media report, he lives.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency member Zeljko Komsic has signed a decision releasing 12,636 convertible marks from the budget reserve to repair the elevator in a Sarajevo apartment building where, according to Klix and Radio-Television of Republika Srpska, he lives himself. The decision was published in the BiH Official Gazette and became public on October 11, ten days after it was signed. RTRS in Republika Srpska carried the story the same day. The money comes from the joint budget of BiH institutions, the state that borders Serbia.
What does the decision say?
Komsic signed the decision on October 1, 2026. The money is taken from the current contingency reserve of the 2026 budget of BiH institutions and is earmarked for repairing the elevator in the building at Azize Sacirbegovic 16 in Sarajevo.
The funds are granted as financial assistance to Andjelka Nikolic of Sarajevo. The Secretariat of the BiH Presidency is responsible for carrying out the decision and pays the money directly into her account. The decision appears in the Official Gazette of BiH under number 75/26.
What does Komsic’s office say?
Klix described the decision, and RTRS relayed the claims of Federation media with a photo from the SRNA agency. The explanation that follows comes from Komsic’s office, not from Komsic himself, and was given on the day the decision became public.
Komsic’s office gave its explanation the same day. It says the request was submitted by a tenant whose husband is a person with a disability, and that the elevator in question is a large one. According to Klix, the man needs a working elevator to get around every day and to reach medical appointments.
The request also states, according to the office, that two more tenants with limited mobility live in the same building, and that the residents could not pay for such a large repair themselves. The office says the funds are not a luxury but a way to give people with reduced mobility basic living conditions and freedom of movement.
How will the spending be checked?
The decision also places an obligation on the recipient: Andjelka Nikolic must submit a report on how the money was spent. According to Klix, the report is due once the repair is finished. The BiH Presidency has three members, and Komsic is one of them. Ten days passed between the October 1 signing and the October 11 publication, and the deadline for the report is tied to the completion of the repair.
