According to Balkan Insight, Prime Minister Nermin Niksic said the new bodies would be similar to Croatia's Bureau for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (USKOK), a state attorney-linked body that focuses on corruption and organized crime.
 Niksic said the changes represent a new chapter for the Federation and its judicial institutions.
The laws still have to be adopted by the Parliament’s upper house before the units tasked with applying the law can be created.
Since the early February protests, which were called the most intense period of civil unrest in the country since the 1992-1995 war, there has been increased pressure from local citizens for governmental reform and anti-corruption measures.
Any changes to the law would apply to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of two political entities in the ex-Yugoslav country.
The country’s other political entity, Republika Srpska, has a separate president and legislative body. It has a Special Prosecutor’s Office Against Organized and Economic Crime.
