Predrag Tomić, the director on the Republic of Srpska Inspectorate attended to the meeting on 12th December 2016 which was held in Sarajevo regarding the start of activities on establishing the Interoperability Information System in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is being realized within the “Improving Investment Climate and Institutional Strengthening Project – ICIS.”
The World Bank and entity inspectorates – Republic Administration for Inspection Activities of Republic of Srpska and Federal Administration for Inspection Affairs (FUZIP), with the help of Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) have been implementing the ICIS project since 2012.
During the meeting, numerous activities already realised within the project were summed up, such as the acquisition of equipment for inspection surveillance, the professional education of personnel via trainings and study visits, the development of inspection methodologies, the building of concept for inspection controls based on analysis and risk assessment and others.
Moreover, activities on establishing the Interoperability Information System planned for the following period, from concrete steps regarding the implementation, software development, equipment installation and the training of personnel in using the new software, to legal frameworks for establishing the interoperability were presented.
The implementation of the Interoperability Information System will enable an e-link and a better system for the exchange of information between the institutions in the Republic of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will greatly contribute to the improvement of inspection surveillance.
The Republic of Srpska Inspectorate has a daily need for the access to other institutions’ databases in order to manage risks in planning the inspection surveillance, while having numerous information on its disposal which might be helpful to other institutions. In that sense, the e-link between the institutions will enable the exchange of data in a fast, prompt, reliable and safe way with a guaranteed discretion and the integrity of data, in accordance with the rules of information security.
