For seven years now, employees of state institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina been able to report corruption and be granted the status of whistleblowers or protected denouncers of corruption. But so far, only a few of them have received such a status. One of them decided to publicly denounce corruption through an investigation published by BIRN Bosnia and Herzegovina. For more than a year, BIRN Bosnia and Herzegovina has monitored disciplinary action that was subsequently initiated against the whistleblower, although the law should have protected him. He was recently fired and disciplinary action is still being conducted against him. In this episode, you can see what whistleblowers have gone through after reporting corruption, why they are still not protected and how that can be changed.
