WAS THE IMPOSED ONE DOING Nikšić and Višković agreed on the Buk Bijela project, the territorial integrity and sovereignty of BiH were attacked!

Here's an exclusive. Recently, at the level of entity prime ministers, we tried to revive this story that Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina would jointly build a facility on the Drina, with Bosnia and Herzegovina's two entity power utilities having a 25 percent share and Serbia 50 percent.

These are not the words of Radovan Višković, Prime Minister of Republika Srpska, although they would be more fitting for him. These are the words of the imposed Prime Minister of the Federation of BiH, Nermin Nikšić (President of SDP), in the Klix studio show. Those who have time can watch it at 30:45...

It is symptomatic that Nikšić, in what he called an "exclusive" piece of information, failed to mention what kind of agreement it actually is, or how the previous concession problems concerning this facility, which were decided by the Constitutional Court of BiH and warned about by the High Representative Christian Schmidt, have been resolved. Will another Copperfield illusion be created, similar to the Vareš model, which disregards regulations for the sake of interests? This will likely become known in the coming days.

We remind you, and Nikšić has clearly ignored the fact, that the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina also commented on this project and the concession issue. On July 16, 2021, it issued a Partial Decision determining that there is a dispute regarding concession decisions concerning the concession good and the jurisdiction for making them, which were made by Republika Srpska. The Commission for Concessions of Bosnia and Herzegovina was then instructed to resolve the disputed issues between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska in its capacity as the Joint Commission for Concessions, within the meaning of the Law on Concessions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

However, cadres of SNSD, the ruling party in Republika Srpska, specifically Staša Košarac, obstructed the appointment and thus the functioning of the Commission for Concessions, and the Commission did not do what the Constitutional Court of BiH had ordered.

Therefore, in response to Patria on September 6, 2022, the Constitutional Court of BiH stated: "issues regarding dispute resolution should be directed to the Commission for Concessions and the Prosecutor's Office of BiH regarding what they are undertaking within their jurisdictions to enforce the decisions of the Constitutional Court."

Thus, the Buk Bijela project is not a matter of an agreement between Nermin Nikšić and his interest spheres with Radovan Višković as the executor of Milorad Dodik's and Aleksandar Vučić's interests.

The way Nikšić articulated the agreement on resolving the Buk Bijela Hydroelectric Power Plant issue clearly indicates that this agreement was brokered by Milorad Dodik with the political project Trojka, which also includes Nikšić.

The fact that he remained silent about what this means in the context of the Constitutional Court's Decision fully entitles us to believe that Trojka, or its imposed Prime Minister of the Federation of BiH, Nermin Nikšić, has agreed to an arrangement based on the model of a state union. In practice, this would mean that administrative units, i.e., entities, conduct sovereign policies, leaving the state level only to approve agreements.

Nikšić has long shown his attitude towards state property, calling it a story about fields. Now it is completely clear why. Therefore, the imposed prime minister must know that the Drina River is state property, and the disposal of this property is prohibited by an OHR decision.

Because Nikšić should know that this is high treason to the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina if he proceeds with the realization of the political agreement with Višković (read Dodik). Firstly, it is an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an attack on state property, and the creation of a precedent that will certainly allow Dodik, and Čović as well, to invoke these agreements in the future.

Secondly, Nikšić cannot explain why the 25 percent that would allegedly go to the Elektroprivreda of Republika Srpska according to the alleged agreement would not at some point become 75 percent owned by Elektroprivreda of Serbia. Because if it is not clear to him, and many things have not been clear to him for a long time, Milorad Dodik will gladly and generously cede his 25 percent to Serbia for a small sum, which in practice means that two-thirds of the Buk Bijela Hydroelectric Power Plant will go to EPS, and one-third to Elektroprivreda of the Federation of BiH. And the calculation is quite clear, so this scam, as if that project would save our businessmen, because electricity from renewable sources might appeal to Vojin Mijatović and the group around Nikšić, but in serious circles, it has no chance of survival.

And finally, if it wasn't clear to someone why Nikšić and Trojka are qualified as traitors, let it be clear to them that those who consciously make agreements on joint projects with secessionists from Republika Srpska and their planners from Belgrade cannot be patriots.

These projects, even in illusions, do not have the option of being considered favorable and acceptable for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Therefore, the burden of the necessity of a swift reaction falls again on the Parliament and pro-Bosnian forces, so that Nikšić's energy flirtation with Dodik and Vučić does not jeopardize the territorial integrity, energy, and all other sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and ultimately the interests of our state. The boat of the imposed has long sailed into treacherous waters; they must be stopped before they reach their destination!
