If the Troika has no alternative to Dodik, then the 'Serb world' is a reality

By: Rasim Belko

The government in this country will no longer be negotiated in restaurants, cafes, and hotels. Everything will be transparent and discussions will be held in the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This is a sentence that the leaders of the Social Democratic Party, People and Justice, and Our Party have repeated for years, promising to be different from the SDA and to return decision-making to the state institutions.

Basement and hotel

And then, under the American-British flag, they united and were installed in partnership with Dodik and Čović.

And they no longer believe that agreements on government and its functioning should be conducted transparently in the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And this is just one principle that the principled Troika managed to overthrow as soon as they took their positions.

They went to Dodik's basement for rakija production, to a basketball game of his club. They went to Čović's hotel and HDZ home. The Troika organized its meetings in a hotel in Konjic. They also went to Dodik's administrative center in East Sarajevo.

And all of this immediately meant that there was and will be nothing from the state-building and institutional actions of the parties that once belonged to the pro-Bosnian bloc. Let's not forget to mention the way the decision on the day of mourning in the entities was made regarding the tragedy in Gradačac, instead of a decision by the Council of Ministers of BiH as was done after the tragedy in Belgrade.

And yes, it was a benign example, but at the same time, it was a roadmap for the actions and decision-making of the current state government. And then we had the long-time SDP representative Saša Magazinović announcing the day before the session of the House of Representatives that Dodik's appointee would not be elected as the Minister of Finance, and yet he was elected in less than 24 hours.

Why? Because Dodik gathered the Troika and, in agreement with Čović, dictated a list of wishes and demands to convince the naive Troika members that they would work on the European path. He got his Minister of Finance, and all paths that can advance Bosnia and Herzegovina remain blocked by Dodik with Čović's cooperation.

And then Nermin Nikšić, the imposed Prime Minister of the Federation, who was also imposed as the head of the SDP, tells us that cooperation with Dodik has no alternative. This is the same Nikšić who bombarded the public with attacks on the SDA for cooperating with Dodik and meeting in restaurants.

Murphy's puppets

However, Nikšić is most to blame for agreeing to the role of Michael Murphy's puppet, and Elmedin Konaković and Edin Forto play the same role. Because while they serve Murphy, who is certainly in some form of partnership with Dodik, there is less and less of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Dodik has cleared 49 percent of the occupied territory of state institutions. He has nullified the Constitutional Court, dismissed the High Representative, and is on his way to doing the same with state judiciary. With the fact that Baja's blacklisted cadres control police and intelligence structures, it is clear that Murphy and his petty politicians have brought us to a situation where Milorad Dodik is the absolute ruler in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With the already known facts that masters of realpolitik, intellectuals who think and act, sit around Dodik, with SANU as their foundation and Putin, Orban, and Vučić as their support, it is clear that the 'Serb world' has never been closer to its realization, not even at the beginning of the aggression against BiH.

And for the final realization of this centuries-old plan, the tripartite political creation of ignoramuses who thought that management was a kind of game and that after game over, they could try again, seems to be crucial.

Therefore, they do not understand where and how they are making mistakes, so they position Dodik as the JNA once positioned itself on hills and mounds, and when the final offensive begins, they will say they are surprised because they could not have expected it.

The citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as those who remained outside Murphy's reach, must be maximally vigilant, because the next time the Troika members go to Dodik's rakija basement or Čović's hotel, it is not impossible that Kordić becomes a supervisor in the Ministry of Justice, and Biljana Plavšić a coordinator for human rights.

Because, for the imposed Troika members, Dodik has no alternative. And if Dodik has no alternative, then consequently, neither does the 'Serb world'. Doesn't it!?
