DF in Mostar: Stop the dominance of HDZ and SNSD, Kovačević's candidacy is a move to preserve BiH

(Patria) - The Democratic Front (DF) tonight continued its series of spring forums in Mostar titled "Integrity of the Civic State Policy", and officials and the DF candidate for member of the Presidency of BiH in the next elections addressed the attendees.

DF representative in the Federal Parliament and president of the DF Cantonal Board HNK, Sanel Kajan, in his address, referred to the illegal construction of the so-called Croatian National Theatre in Mostar, emphasizing that it lacks valid documentation or construction permits, and that culture cannot be a tool for ethnic domination.



Kajan expressed full support for Slaven Kovačević for member of the Presidency of BiH, stating that Kovačević's candidacy is a move to preserve the state and a confirmation that sovereignty belongs to citizens, not ethnic feudal lords.



Arman Zalihić, representative in the Assembly of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, in addition to the importance of Slaven Kovačević's candidacy for member of the Presidency of BiH, emphasized the importance of having a civic option in Mostar, as only it can stop negative trends.

He cited bad examples of appointments of HDZ cadres to the Constitutional Court and the Management Board of FTV by the Trojka, and highlighted the disastrous appointment of the management of Autoceste by the FBiH Government.



He pointed out that connecting Mostar with Sarajevo can only be dreamed of, while at the same time, local roads in West Herzegovina are being upgraded into expressways with 100 million KM from the budget.

Member of the DF Presidency, Miro Lazović, stated that it matters little who will be the member of the Presidency of BiH from the Bosniak people, and that the crucial choice for BiH is between Slaven Kovačević and the HDZ candidate, and that it must not be allowed for the HDZ, together with the candidate from RS, to take over the Presidency of BiH.



Slaven Kovačević, the DF candidate for member of the Presidency of BiH, stated that BiH faces discussions about its future, especially with representatives of the international community, adding that in these discussions, it is better for BiH to be represented by people from the DF than by HDZ cadres who seek the division of BiH.

He criticized Denis Bećirović's decision to support Borjana Krišto from HDZ for the chairperson of the Council of Ministers of BiH by outvoting Željko Komšić.

He assessed that the Trojka parties and the other 11 parties, by supporting Bećirović, want to maintain the existing situation and the dominance of HDZ and SNSD. However, he added that the avalanche of citizens' dissatisfaction with the Trojka's policies will sweep these political options off the scene.



Kovačević condemned the illegal construction of the HNK and the HDZ's policy, which he stated continues the policy of a joint criminal enterprise, emphasizing that, as a member of the Army of BiH, unlike the current candidates who were not, he has different views on these policies.

At the end of the forum, the president of the DF, Željko Komšić, also addressed the citizens, emphasizing the need for active political action towards Brussels, given that the illegal construction of the HNK is partly funded by the European Union itself, which, as he pointed out, is completely illegal.

Komšić, among other things, emphasized that the Democratic Front will not easily allow the formation of political alliances at the expense of BiH and that the DF is a party not associated with corruption scandals marked by crime and nepotism.



He added that as a result, the strengthening of the DF is evident, especially in Herzegovina. Komšić stated that the policy of a civic state is a policy of equal rights on which the DF will persevere and expressed support for Slaven Kovačević as the DF candidate for member of the Presidency of BiH.
