Manđuka confirmed his dismissal in an interview, which is also expected to be formally approved by the Supervisory Board of the company "Binas d.d." in the coming days.
"I have been dismissed by the decision of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Supervisory Board session is on Friday because the Government has given consent for my dismissal. On Saturday, I will be relieved of my duties, that is, on April 4," said Manđuka.
When asked whether he was dismissed due to political decisions, i.e., party and pre-election programs, Manđuka stated that he does not wish to comment on such claims until the official explanation from the Government of the Federation is provided.
"I did not perceive it that way, so I would not comment on it. The Government of the Federation and the Prime Minister have still not given me an explanation as to why I was dismissed, so I cannot comment on that either," said Manđuka.
During the past week, a new management of the company was elected, with Amel Mujić appointed as the director, and Rašid Tihak appointed as the executive director for production.
The new management and director have been appointed as acting officials until the completion of the tender procedure, i.e., for a period of 12 months.
