On April 19, I sent the following question to the Commission. The Commission has again taken more time than it should to reply. In the meantime Bosnian politician announces end of prison facility<\/a>because there is no legal basis for it. My question about the problematic wording of the Commissioner Oliv\u00c3\u00a9r V\u00c3\u00a1rhelyi is simply ignored by him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My request<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In November 2022, Commissioner Oliv\u00c3\u00a9r V\u00c3\u00a1rhelyi visited Bosnia and Herzegovina and announced that an additional EUR 500,000 will be used for the Lipa camp and detention center in order to \u00e2fake asylum seekers\u00e2<\/a> can be imprisoned[1]<\/a>until they are returned to their countries of origin. The EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Johann Sattler, on the other hand, said last week<\/a>that people may be detained there for a maximum of 72 hours. The EU funds for Lipa come from the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cantonal authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina state that the construction permit for the detention center in Lipa camp was never issued. The Prime Minister of Una-Sana Canton publicly expresses his concern about the lack of information about the object. Please answer the following questions individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
