Sources: 5. Developments: 2. The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been embroiled in legal and financial controversies involving both judicial misconduct and embezzlement. Initially, Fikret Hodžić, owner of ‘F. H. Srebrena malina’, filed a criminal complaint against Judge Braco Stupar and other officials, alleging a failure to execute a final court decision to return over 440,000 KM and 1,000 EUR frozen since 2020 in relation to the ‘respirator’ procurement case. Simultaneously, court employee Sead Bublin pleaded not guilty to charges of embezzling 196,729.59 KM and forging documents to hide the theft. Following these developments, the Court has initiated the formal process to refund the funds to Hodžić and his company. Attorney Mirna Avdibegović noted that while the Court has requested data to proceed with the refund, the return of these funds, which were allegedly withheld without legal basis for at least 16 months, does not end the legal dispute. Further legal actions are expected to address damages resulting from the previous delays. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina begins refund of 440,000 KM to Fikret Hodžić The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has begun formal procedures to return over 440,000 KM to Fikret Hodžić and his firm, F.
