Republika Srpska pre-election public procurement

Overview

In late August 2026, public institutions in Republika Srpska engaged in significant financial activities and large-scale tenders ahead of an upcoming election campaign.

A central focus involves a 23 million KM tender issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP RS) for the procurement of 90 stationary radars. Potential bidders have raised allegations of tender rigging, citing irregularities in the documentation. Specifically, bidders noted the absence of essential technical specifications—such as frequency range and measurement technology—while the documentation provided highly detailed requirements for workstation monitors. There are also suspicions that the tender may be a formality for equipment that has already been purchased.

Other notable pre-election spending includes a 1 million KM donation from Autoputevi Republike Srpska to various associations, and a 187 million KM tender by Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske for the Hrgud wind farm project.
