Today is Statehood Day, not 'Republic Day': Only what was held by the Army of RBiH belongs to everyone!

By Avdo Adić/Istraga.ba

The Trojka has finally started working. Especially Gegić's and Lazić's. The neighbors weren't helped even by the American Smith. So now we celebrate Statehood Day intoxicated by the victory over Croatia. The one from Skenderija. And an intoxicated person, of course, doesn't have a clear picture.

Eighty-one years have passed since ZAVNOBiH. We were taught, after both wars, that Bosnia and Herzegovina is neither Serbian, nor Croatian, nor Muslim (Bosniak), but rather Serbian, Croatian, and Muslim (Bosniak). But is that so.

This, like all lies, sounds nice. Because whoever wants to see, will see that Republika Srpska, those 49 percent of BiH's territory, is neither Muslim (Bosniak) nor Croatian, but only Serbian. Whoever wants to see, cannot fail to see that the four federal cantons (West Herzegovina, Canton 10, Posavina, and Herzegovina-Neretva) are neither Serbian nor Muslim (Bosniak) but exclusively Croatian. And, finally, whoever wants to see, will see that Bosnia and Herzegovina is Serbian, Croatian, and Muslim (Bosniak) only where the Army of the Republic of BiH guarded the watch and where Bosniaks are the "demographic majority".

Let's be realistic, and admit to ourselves that what the Army of Republika Srpska controlled is Serbian, what the HV(O) controlled is Croatian, and what the Army of RBiH liberated and defended belongs to everyone together.

Bosniak nationalism is discussed the most today in Sarajevo. And that within the "Trojka circle of Sarajevo" and the American embassy led by Michael Murphy.

And what kind of Bosniak nationalists they are was shown in both the general and the municipal elections. In Centar, a Serb won the mayoral elections twice. The first time he defeated a general of the Army of RBiH. And that's not a problem. The majority of citizens decided so, and that is the Bosnia and Herzegovina we advocate for. Whoever wins the most votes is the winner. Besides, Srđan Mandić was a member of the Army of RBiH and did not leave "with his own" in 1992.

Unlike Zijad Žigić, who, for example, left "his own". Yet, Zijad Žigić, as a special operative for Ratko Mladić, could not even be the president of the local veterans' association in Bijeljina, even though his contributions to the "goals of Republika Srpska" are immeasurable. Because, regardless of all the decorations he received, he is still just Zijad.

To be clear, I am not comparing Žigić and Mandić. I am comparing the consciousness of voters in Republika Srpska and voters in Sarajevo.

Now take the DF club in the BiH Parliament. Milan Dunović is a Serb, Vlatko Glavaš is a Croat, and Zlatan Begić is an "Other". Yet, in the bot circles of the Sarajevo Trojka, as well as among the officials of the Trojka parties, and among the diplomatic corps who still believe the words of Michael Murphy and Christian Schmidt, DF is a "radical Bosniak party".

Dragan Čović's HDZ is, therefore, acceptable. The fact that the president of that party, I am writing about Dragan Čović, subjected Bosniak prisoners of war to forced labor is acceptable to the purists of the Sarajevo Trojka, for whom, for example, Fikret Prevljak is a "criminal and gangster", while the leader of the HDZ is not. The fact that Čović supported the slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei" during the war does not bother the diplomatic corps or their media chorus.

Čović, as such, is more acceptable to all of them than Bakir Izetbegović or, for example, Željko Komšić. Because, you know, Damir Nikšić says that the voters of DF and SDA are "Bosniaks", and that a civic state in BiH cannot exist because there are not "enough Others". Plus, neither the Trojka, nor the HDZ, nor a large part of the PIC wants to turn "democracy" into "demography". Democracy in BiH, as the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter Szijjártó will admit on their behalf, must be based on Christian values. And the problem of BiH, as American professor Ed Joseph will admit on behalf of Zagreb, is "Bosniak demographic opportunism".

Everywhere in the world we aspire to, democracy is the rule of the majority. You have 50 percent, you find one more vote, and that's it. Only in BiH, when you have 50 percent and find another seventeen percent, you can't do anything. Because, in accordance with Western values, Christian Schmidt will suspend your right to vote on the day of the decision and appointment of the Government. And that only in the part of BiH where "democracy cannot be demography".

Today is BiH Statehood Day. And Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Croatia last night. Aleksandar Lazić from Milići played a crucial role. No one in Skenderija bothered about his name and origin. And as long as he fights and sweats for Bosnia and Herzegovina, he will be a hero.

But no one can convince me that Dragan Čović sweats for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yet, thanks to the leaders of the Trojka and the power of Michael Murphy and Christian Schmidt, he rules over both Croats and Bosniaks.

Does anyone remember the story that Dragan Čović will "soon be on the American blacklist"? I remember. But I don't remember the HDZ leader being sanctioned. Now it seems that due to the failure of the "southern interconnector", Nermin Nikšić will be sanctioned before Dragan Čović. Why? Well, it's obvious.

Today is BiH Statehood Day. It is not Republic Day. It is not AVNOJ. It is ZAVNOBiH. But that doesn't stop the American Ambassador Michael Murphy from celebrating AVNOJ as well, whose achievements they want to transfer to BiH. So that Bosnia and Herzegovina becomes a state community under the guardianship of Serbia and Croatia.

Today is the Statehood Day of a country where the rule of one person, one vote, applies only where Bosniaks are not the majority. The Bosniak vice-president in Republika Srpska only has the right to speak. The right to vote – no. In the Federation of BiH, the Bosniak vice-president has neither the right to vote nor to speak. Unlike the Serbian vice-president of the Federation.

Today is the Statehood Day of a country whose Minister of Foreign Affairs does not dare to say that the neighbors committed aggression against the state he represents. Today is the Statehood Day of a country where Dragan Čović moves both white and black pieces. Today is the Statehood Day of a country where the people who survived double aggression, two joint criminal enterprises, and one genocide are declared nationalists.

Today is the Statehood Day of a country whose High Representative Christian Schmidt consults on his decisions in Belgrade and Zagreb. Today is the Statehood Day of a country where alleged liberals advocate for ethnic divisions. Today is the Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And, as it is, it is the only one for the discriminated majority. People died for it in two wars. And if loving one's country is nationalism, then I am a nationalist!
