Bakir is playing Safet again - all by himself, and at the wrong address!

After the meeting between Bakir Izetbegović and Andrej Plenković in Dubrovnik, the talk about the 'urgently needed' warming of relations between Croats and Bosniaks continues (!?).

And it was precisely at this meeting that Izetbegović proved that he does not have a clearly developed strategy on the issue of finally resolving the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The cooled relations are solely due to Dragan Čović's insatiable desire to rule as long as he lives, all under the guise of legitimacy and constitutionality. Plenković, for his own ambitions in Brussels, is trying to 'persuade' Čović to abandon his partnership with Milorad Dodik, but Izetbegović should certainly be able to better assess a 'lifeline' from a traitor! Where the state is in all this, nobody knows!

Obviously, due to the lack of a plan and strategy that could help heal the system in BiH, Izetbegović is knocking on the doors of those who, through special warfare methods, led to the collapse and breakdown of the system within BiH! And he is going where even Safet shouldn't have gone - alone!

With his actions, Izetbegović should not derogate state institutions and reduce them to instruments for paying expensive demands in VIP lounges at airports. If he was invoking pro-Bosnian unity, he should have gone to Plenković at least with a member of the Presidency of BiH, Šefik Džaferović, or the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bisera Turković. Not to mention how patriotic it would have sounded if he had asked the Chairman of the Presidency of BiH, Željko Komšić, to be with him at Plenković's.

Because, even Čović's stormtroopers (read: directly Čović) do not welcome the new game in which they are trying to warm us up, as evidenced by the statement of journalist Branimir Galić, who said that he can only talk about potential cooperation when Izetbegović gives up on imposing Komšić.

"The talk about renewing the 'alliance' makes no sense as long as Bakir Izetbegović does not renounce his 'coalition' partner Željko Komšić ad hominem and say that he is precisely the embodiment of all the bad things that have happened in the last 15 years in the Federation of BiH. Namely, it was not Croats who disenfranchised Bosniaks, but quite the opposite. Period," said Galić.

And instead of Izetbegović, if he truly wishes well for BiH, going to Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, and explaining there that Komšić is not the problem, but Čović's fascist demands for introducing apartheid through the Election Law and that he abuses the Houses of Peoples for issues that are not of vital, but financial significance (the issue of betting shops), Izetbegović is opening Pandora's box behind closed doors with Plenković.

And what kind of policy Bakir Izetbegović is pursuing was best explained by academician Esad Duraković.

"His policy in recent years has become a national disaster. The evidence speaks for itself. Bosniaks, as the majority nation here, are practically discriminated against. It is all in line with his post-election statement - it is more important that they won the Centar municipality than ten other cities. So, I think it is a very bad policy he is pursuing. He showed this by his readiness to go to Vučić's feet.

I think he could agree to the division of BiH, and that is what I fear. Because he is constantly negotiating with Čović, alone. He has no legitimacy for that. I think he showed this in the case of Mostar," said Duraković.

After good moves in terms of the recent failed negotiations on the Election Law, where Izetbegović remained firm, he quickly restarted to his initial positions and persistently confirms what the world wants to be shown, that we are three warring tribes and that three chieftains represent us.

It would not surprise me if, now that Vučić the peacemaker has spoken about returning to institutions, Izetbegović also travels to a meeting with the President of Serbia.

And while not so long ago Izetbegović said that SDA should make new strides from a national to a multi-ethnic party, and that BiH until '95 was a unitary state and conceived on a civic principle, and that he thinks that framework is something that preserves the spirit of BiH, protects and enables the survival and development of a multi-ethnic community, he is doing the exact opposite.

And he himself said - without that system, we are slowly losing our spirit, and that - that is a threat to BiH itself!

Therefore, the address for discussions should not be Croatia and Serbia, but friendly countries that are willing to help. And for them to help, someone must explain the situation to them!
