Bosnia's Foreign Ministry has confirmed that Milica Markovic, an MP in the House of Representatives and a member of parliament's delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe  (PACE) is being investigated by the Council of Europe over suspicions of corruption in connection with her reports from Azerbaijan, Balkan Insight reported.

The ministry said an investigative body was formed in June 2017 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to collect information on "possible corrupt actions by three members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, one of whom is Markovic".

Markovic is a member of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, the ruling party in the Serb-dominated entity, Republika Srpska.

Last year, media reported that Markovic had been engaged in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan – but had been very biased in her reports in favour of Azerbaijan.

Media reports have accused her of taking bribes from Azerbaijan, influencing her reporting on the dispute between the two former Soviet republics on the breakaway Nagorno karabakh region.
