Six Bosnian-Herzegovinian portals — Capital, Fokus, Tacno.net, Info-radar, Hercegovina.info, and Žurnal — have prepared four films about the development of Chinese influence in this area.
In the fourth and final part of the series on Chinese influence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, watch:
- How and to what extent does China invest in lobbying individuals from BiH?
- Why is it difficult to trace the history of Chinese companies?
- What does the contract for the reconstruction of the tram line in Sarajevo with the Chinese companies “China Shandong International Economic & Technical Cooperation Group” and “China Railway No.10 Engineering Group” include, given their connection to controversial projects in other countries?
- How did Chinese companies export logs from BiH?
- Who facilitated the illegal exploitation of stone in Herzegovina by Chinese companies?
- Construction of the Ulog Hydroelectric Power Plant, with the engaged Chinese company, the globally sanctioned “Sinohydro Corporation.”
- The construction of a power plant in Zenica. Well known scheme: Chinese company, loan from a bank in China, power plant as collateral.
- Conclusion – numerous investment loans are mostly conditional on the engagement of Chinese companies and workers, along with the inevitable collateral involving state-owned property. This is why they are classified as confidential and why the issue of the titular holder of state property has become one of the most pressing political questions in BiH.
