IGK informed Canadian political entities that a coup against the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina is underway

(Patria) - In a letter signed by Emir Ramić, director of IGK, and addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, and members of the Canadian Parliament, friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina Robert Oliphant and Brian Masse, concern was expressed by individuals, organizations, and communities of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian diaspora in Canada, as well as many Canadians who are friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina, worried about the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"A coup against the state, its Constitution and institutions is underway in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Officials of the RS entity Milorad Dodik, Radovan Višković and Nenad Stevandić have committed the serious criminal offense of a coup against the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aleksandar Vučić and Milorad Dodik are proxies of the Russian Federation in the Balkans and are working to break up Bosnia and Herzegovina, dangerously threatening peace and security in the Balkans, leading this region into a new conflict that could be more dangerous than the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Denis Bećirović and Željko Komšić submitted a request for an emergency session of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the attack by the authorities of the RS entity on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

At the request of Željka Cvijanović, Chairwoman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who directly supports the secessionist demands of Milorad Dodik, Russia requested an urgent UN session on BiH.

We expect Canada to take this seriously, bearing in mind Canada's clear position from March 1 this year regarding events in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which states:

Canada supports the statement of the Chair of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council, emphasizes the need to refrain from interfering in the judiciary and respect the independence of the judiciary, and reaffirms its unequivocal commitment to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We request the Government of Canada, in its capacity as chair of the seven most developed countries in the world and a member of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council, to take clear, swift and concrete measures to protect the territorial integrity, sovereignty, independence and international legal personality of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Any delay in taking swift and effective measures could have serious consequences for Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as for the region, Europe and the world.

This is not an everyday political-security situation. It is the culmination of decades of dangerous secessionist policy and project. It is a serious, great-nationalist undertaking and should be treated as such. It is time for the pro-Bosnian state factor to unite on the issue of defending the state and show the Bosnian-Herzegovinian people in and outside Bosnia and Herzegovina that they have a plan for defending and strengthening the state," the letter states.
