(ANSA-AP) - SARAJEVO, MAY 29 - Bosnians are protesting
outside the country's top judicial body after a secretly
recorded video emerged of its head appearing to take bribes
through a middleman, himself a police officer.
Hundreds gathered Wednesday to demand the resignation of
Milan Tegeltija, the head of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial
Council, which appoints, dismisses and oversees the work of all
the country's judges and prosecutors.
The protest was sparked by a video published last week in
which Tegeltija meets with a businessman to discuss his case,
which was being handled by a local court. The meeting in a bar
was also attended by an officer of Bosnia's State Investigation
and Protection Agency. Tegeltija was filmed asking the
businessman to name the prosecutor on his case and promising to
"look into it." He denies wrongdoing. (ANSA-AP).
