Čampara and Komšić "extorted" owner: BiH Party billboards forcibly removed

Individuals from the City Administration demanded that the billboard owner run their campaign for free, and when he refused, an order was issued for the demolition of the billboards, and the construction inspection of the Municipality of Novi Grad proceeded with the removal this morning at 8:30 AM, said Amer Jerlagić, president of the Party for BiH, who stated that this was burning democracy with a blowtorch and demolishing democracy with excavators, writes the BiH news agency Patria.

- When the owner of the posters, Husein Titorić, refused this corrupt act, they turned against him and this order from the Novi Grad municipal inspection, which is under the jurisdiction of SDA, came about - said Jerlagić.

When asked who could have ordered the demolition of these posters, Jerlagić said that "Efendić did it from above," and considering that the city leaders are Ivo Komšić, Aljoša Čampara, and Ranko Čović, it is not difficult to conclude where the wind is blowing from.

- The order was dated yesterday, so today's action was illegal. We did not want to cause any incident with the police, so we wanted to avoid it. This inspector will be sued by the company "Plakat" because they carried out the demolition based on an illegal order. Every public lighting pole has SDA and USD posters, and that is considered legal, while billboards that have been standing for 15 years are problematic because they bear the insignia of SBiH and are therefore illegal - said Jerlagić.

The inspection, as confirmed by Jerlagić, proceeded to demolish other billboards in Otoka two and one near the Malaysia-Bosnia and Herzegovina Friendship Bridge, which also feature SBiH posters.
