Christian Schmidt will cause a civil war in BiH if Washington, Berlin, and Brussels do not replace him soon!

The marketing service for the policy advocated by the HDZ, known as HMS, recently published a potential response in the event the European Court of Human Rights upholds the ruling in the case “Kovačević vs. BiH”.

The already seen and standardized propaganda action surprised few, even with the extreme measure of reviving the so-called HRHB. Because the policy advocated for over a decade by Dragan Čović and his patron from Zagreb is nothing more than an attempt to reactivate a para-state on the foundations of the Joint Criminal Enterprise.

And it did not start with political resistance to the election of Željko Komšić, as the Sarajevo Trojka spins for Čović's interest, nor did it start with failed reforms of the Election Law. Even less is the trigger for such a policy the aforementioned Kovačević case.

Croatian policy has never abandoned the relativization of Boban's creation. It has only changed its strategic directions and methods of action from Jelavić's insane attempt, and the change in Zagreb also benefited it – from radical Ustašism to right-wing Europeanism. After all, Čović and all the important HDZ cadres gladly posed for photos, laughed, and celebrated in the company of convicted war criminals.

However, the sequence of events on the internal political front gives reason to believe that the propaganda HMS served perfectly as a guise behind which the real architects of the alleged response are hiding in case the ECtHR upholds the decision in the Kovačević case.

And not only that, but also what is envisioned or planned to be done after the confirmation of the ruling in the Kovačević case suggests that the architect is far from Mostar. To be more precise, by reading this propaganda pamphlet, I recognized Christian Schmidt's moves in it.

Therefore, I am inclined to believe that what HMS is systematically feeding to the public, in order to pressure the Court in Strasbourg, is actually the work of Nazi sympathizer Christian Schmidt.

What the HDZ's organ presents to us as a Croatian response to the ruling in “Kovačević vs. BiH” is most similar to the actions of the Ustaše-Tuđman clique that once controlled Croatian politics in BiH. And Schmidt, as a proven Nazi, a recipient of the “Ante Starčević” order, and a friend of Franjo Tuđman, is the most qualified to construct the response that HMS has offered us.

And not only the most qualified, but also the only one who is willing and has the mechanisms to protect Boban's followers in the restoration of the UZP project HRHB. As a reminder, upon arriving on his mission to BiH, Schmidt first visited Croatia and from then until today has never changed his pro-Croatian discourse.

He is the first High Representative to suspend the Constitution in order to take away the political will of Bosniaks in favor of Croatian policy. So why would it be difficult to believe that he is the architect of the Croatian response to the European Court's ruling that can open the highway to the European Union for Bosnia and Herzegovina?

This is what equally bothers Croatian politics here and there, as well as Schmidt, whose relative did not die for Bosnia in the European Union, but for Banovina Croatia. That is why Schmidt acts exclusively in one direction, only through a dual strategy.

The first part of this strategy is to maximally strengthen the Croatian position within Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the most numerous nation has the absolute greatest influence. The second Schmidt direction is more destructive, through which he allows Milorad Dodik to seize state land, to complete ethnic cleansing in the RS entity, and to block all state-building moves and processes at the state level.

If the international community does not want to lose Bosniaks as a partner, thereby de facto losing the possibility of action no matter how much they suspend, it is high time to reconsider the options for replacing Christian Schmidt.

If Washington, Berlin, and Brussels do not want Christian Schmidt to cause a civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina of unforeseeable proportions, then it is high time to remove Schmidt from the position of High Representative.

Because the architecture of the solution presented to us by the propaganda service HMS is nothing more than an introduction to civil war. And the architect of that solution is Christian Schmidt, who in his hatred for Bosnia and Herzegovina has clearly lost not only his diplomatic credibility but also his reason.
