PART TWO Srebrenica has fallen again - let those who are afraid step down!

The keyboard keys had not even cooled down after the political suicide of Our Party in Mostar and the surrender of the city to Dragan Čović, and we have already entered a new phase of political suicide of the so-called pro-Bosnian politics.

From the political waters of Mostar, we are sailing into the Srebrenica crisis. A crisis of intellect, common sense. A crisis of morality, and above all, a crisis of statesmanship.

But before I continue the story about the new suicidal struggle of the pro-Bosnians, I will recall two sentences I wrote regarding the laments that we will lose Srebrenica because of everyone else, and never because of ourselves, as we are. This was about 15 days before the local elections.

“Bosniak-Bosnian politics did not lose Srebrenica because of Serbian politics, the reregistration of Serbs, and similar electoral manipulations. Bosniak politics sold Srebrenica for the interests of SDA in Sarajevo and Tuzla, for the most part,” I wrote on October 29 in the article “Srebrenica has fallen again”.

Virtual experts and patriots showered me with patriotic comments, praising me that I wrote it better than "any chetnik".

And now, five days before the repeated Srebrenica elections, it is becoming completely clear that Srebrenica has indeed fallen. Without a shot fired or a fight, it will remain under the rule of genocide deniers, followers of war criminals, and the like.

Because, what does boycotting elections mean in a democratic society, and what result can those who boycott their own right to vote and be elected expect. De facto, it is a rape of democracy due to their own incompetence. It is the clearly visible panic of powerless political puppets, who are separated from employment and the abyss by only one rope, the rope of power.

Aware that they are not up to the task of politically defending Srebrenica, they would shift the blame to the Central Election Commission, the Court, Sarajevo, Dodik, journalists…

And the squad from the Coalition for Srebrenica has been far from Srebrenica for decades, enjoying various positions and benefits. Back then, Srebrenica was not cared for. Back then, for the sake of truth, there were significantly more Bosniak residents in Srebrenica. There was hope for the survival of the people of Srebrenica in the city where the bones of thousands of their loved ones lie.

Years passed, Bosniaks from Srebrenica were displaced all over the world, across Bosnia and the planet. And no one cared then.

Today, when it is harder to win positions in Sarajevo, some would create a circus and destroy the state for a piece of power in Srebrenica. Some would join Dodik today in attacking the judiciary and state institutions just to be called the government..

Because, without that chair, there is no more employment and high-level living.

Alija Tabaković, candidate of the Coalition “My Address: Srebrenica”, says that they cannot cope with the discriminatory RS, Serbia, and the bad decisions of the CEC. “This is our way of fighting to show that we cannot tolerate injustice anymore.”

Does anyone need further explanation of the capacity of the man leading the Coalition that is supposed to defend Srebrenica from Grujičić and the like? Because Tabaković should know that injustice and discrimination are not fought by boycotting and retreating.

Because, as former Reis Cerić said precisely in Srebrenica: “When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes a duty”.

Because those who are on the right side and are aware of it never back down. Never. And never.

Therefore, gentlemen from the Coalition, either fight or leave. You have been leading for too long, and you have succeeded too little. Srebrenica will not be better because of your boycott. A boycott, gentlemen from the Coalition, means only a white flag in politics.

And those who fight with their hearts for the right reasons never raise a white flag! Especially not in politics.

It is time, gentlemen, to finally understand that due to a lack of opportunities and insane ambitions, you have brought Srebrenica to a new fall. In fact, a new fall of Srebrenica is certain.

It is time for you to leave, you have been there too long. It is time for new forces, Srebrenica needs them.
