Gentlemen of the Troika, journalists are not to blame: You abandoned the NATO path, handed over BiH's security and economy to SNSD and HDZ, and gave FBiH to Čović

PROTECT JOURNALISTS FROM KONAKOVIĆ

“The opposition has nothing to attack us for regarding what we do, so now they say ‘they will betray’,” said Nermin Nikšić, president of the SDP and one of the leaders of the “Troika” project.

It is hard to believe that the opposition, which is already in legislative structures, does not have a serious arsenal against the “Troika”, but even without that, what they have done so far is enough for the accusation of “traitors”.

And they have done everything that suits the hellish duo Milorad Dodik - Dragan Čović. Thus, at the state level, they left finances to the cadres of HDZ and SNSD. Of the eight positions key to the economic functioning of the state, only one is held by a Bosniak. Everything else, as a consequence of positioning, is controlled by HDZ and SNSD. The same is true in the security sector, where out of 14 key positions, 12 are held by HDZ and SNSD cadres.

Some of these positions are operationally extremely interesting. Thus, the deputy director of OSA is the Russian man Risto Zarić, who controls all operations. In SIPA, the Troika handed over the position of commander of the Special Support Unit.

When it comes to what they betrayed and what the imposed Prime Minister Nikšić does not understand, among the key items are also four SNSD delegates from the NSRs in the House of Peoples. And this after the SDP and the rest of the Troika attacked the SDA for four years for the same mistake. If the SDA made a mistake, then how to describe what the Troika deliberately and cunningly did the same with the experience from the previous term. And those four delegates give Dodik absolute indispensability in the formation and functioning of state authority.

Given that the job of appointing and positioning cadres at the state level is unfinished, it is clear that we can expect a continuation of the Troika's trend, but about that when the time comes.

If we go down to the entity levels, we will again get the same picture.

In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Troika agreed to be a puppet of the international community to appease Čović. And that is a betrayal that will never be forgotten, not only within the opposition ranks, but also among a large number of their voters, and all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

By agreeing to such a government, the Troika, Mr. Imposed, agreed to the elimination of Bosniak representatives in the leadership of FBiH, and that too is a betrayal.

And then you completely handed over control of the FBiH Parliament to HDZ and Dragan Čović. The consequence of this is the difficult passage of laws. So in that parliament, you allowed Mario Karamatić, Čović's appendage, to insult the citizens of Sarajevo Canton by calling that area occupied. And then you defended that same Karamatić from attempts to be excluded from the session due to hate speech.

In the Government of the Federation, Mr. Imposed Prime Minister, you do not decide as you said by agreement, but by executing the demands of Čović and his party. Thus, you handed over the FBiH Motorways to HDZ and in return asked them to produce documentation with which you will attack the opposition. For you, Troika members, personal satisfaction of revenge against SDA, and for HDZ, profitable road construction. Because, that is your game, you have played it from the start.

Yes, you from the Troika, by public admission, assessed Marina Vukoja as the best-ranked candidate for judge of the Constitutional Court of BiH, despite the fact that you had many far better candidates in the running. And that Vukoja, if you complete Čović's task, will be one of the key figures in the process of completing the division of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

And finally, Mr. Imposed Prime Minister, you not only betrayed state interests, but you also sold your own principles and promises, which you offered in the struggle for power.

The SDA and its partners in the past decades of rule did not accumulate as much anti-state and anti-democratic behavior as you have accumulated in less than four months.

Today we saw examples of how principles are betrayed. During the broadcast of the press conference, you had a moderator who eliminated every comment, every criticism, even the most benign one.

You play with censorship, Mr. Imposed Prime Minister, and you talk to us about the European Union. Perhaps due to too much association with Dodik, you have become more of an autocrat than a social democrat. An autocrat is certainly your partner Elmedin Konaković, who is slowly becoming Dodik No.2 in press conferences. Because, his conferences are increasingly passing without attacks on journalists. Sometimes it's Klix journalists, sometimes Avdo Avdić, and today even a Hayat journalist. You have come a long way in Europeanism, Mr. Imposed Prime Minister.

But you pushed through NATO integration. I carefully listened to most of your press conference, until Dodik spoke through Konaković. And not once, none of you three mentioned NATO INTEGRATION.

There is no mention of the classic Euro-Atlantic integration either. You reduced everything to European, and by order of Baja Dodik, NATO evaporated for you.

And what did you say, you didn't betray??? You will see betrayal only when we have to hang sheets on windows and wear armbands, until then sleep and enjoy the imposed dream!
