BOTS DON'T CHOOSE METHODS Mandić is called a Chetnik, and he spent the war in the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Srđan Mandić is the 'Četvorka' candidate for the mayor of Centar Municipality. He is a member of Our Party, and in the previous convocation of the Government, he held the position of Minister of Communal Economy and Infrastructure of Sarajevo Canton.

In recent days, Mandić has been under unprecedented attack on social networks, where he is called derogatory names and subjected to attacks on a national basis. The insults go so far as to call him a Chetnik, and Mandić is far from that. Moreover, Mandić was a member of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from May 30, 1993, to December 14, 1995.

He is modest and will say of himself that he is a typical proud Sarajevan. A lover of his city, its rich history, diversity, but above all the people who live there. And then he faces the bitter truth. Because of the political mire he found himself in, they want to devalue him as a person and as a humanist.

Mandić is Bosnia in miniature. A man because of whom we can proudly say that there were Serbs and Croats in the Army who defended and liberated this country. When the enemies of this country start mentioning Islamic fundamentalists in the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we wave our 'Srđans' at them, so the bots on the networks must know that, regardless of their political affiliation, 'Srđans' are needed by Bosnia and Herzegovina, because as the professor at the Franciscan Theology in Sarajevo, fra Mile Babić, once said in a comment for the Patria agency, that society first needs to achieve democratic achievements, and only then seek 'its national, linguistic, or other identity.'

'If it's not like that, then we have a problem, we have conflicts,' says fra Babić.

'So, human rights are primary,' he adds.

We should be people first, and then Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs. Those who only want to stay in power forget this. That is why I am publishing proof below that Mandić was in the Army.

Because, whether he wins or not, we will not give up our 'Srđans' who also bled for this country!

He spent the entire war in Sarajevo, as a member of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with his family, neighbors, and friends. Now it is time for this to be valued equally for him as for everyone else.
