Krajišnici, you are on the move!

By Rasim Belko

“Krajina is not far for us anymore, especially for me when I have these rotations and don't have to watch out for speed cameras,” said Elmedin Konaković, president of People and Justice, to those gathered at a rally in support of the candidate for mayor of Bihać.

This was in September 2024.

“The budget has no airport, no Bihać – Cazin – Velika Kladuša expressway, no Bihać – Krupa main road, no dedicated industry, no projects for Una National Park, no Una railway, no concrete solutions for border crossings in the USK area and the constant traffic jams we witness from weekend to weekend, and during the season from day to day. Therefore, there is not a single capital project that would move this canton and region from a standstill,” said the mayor of Bihać and president of POMAK, on January 22nd this year.

There is nothing for Krajina. Krajina has become distant for Elmedin Konaković, even when he uses his position as minister and doesn't watch for speed cameras. It has become even more distant for Konaković's partners from SDP and Naša stranka.

Because of this, Krajina received nothing from the FBiH Budget, which should be adopted today in the House of Peoples of the FBiH Parliament.

The Trojka is responsible for such treatment of the heroic Krajina. But, there is one political project that is even more responsible. It is called the People's European Party, and it is actually a private political dwarf for everyone who can bring personal benefits to this ethno-democratic handful of political swindlers.

Because, without that dwarf political alliance, such a Budget could not be adopted, or if we reverse the argument, if NES thought about Krajina, they would adopt at least one amendment related to this region of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

But, this is a clear message to the people of Krajina that they must regroup as they did in the most difficult times of the aggression. This time they don't have to swim across the cold Una or get wet in the trenches of the surrounding hills and mountains. They must politically reflect and define whether they want to remain the most beautiful empty space in our country or if they want to keep the youth who have not yet left for the European Union.

It is hard for me to believe that the distribution of budget funds, by which the Trojka, with the support of NES, prefers the invisible but persistent “Herceg-Bosna” 100 percent more than Krajina, has not opened their eyes.

Krajina is, however, far away, even for the political project NESorti, which bases its existence precisely on Bosanska Krajina.

Because NES also stood by Trojka's flag bearer for the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denis Bećirović, the current member of the Presidency, who once proposed a “state project for keeping young people” in Gračanica in 2022.

How credible his project is is shown by the fact that since the elections until today, he has never tried to implement it through the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH, nor has it been accepted by the three-party coalition, which is again his choice for the Presidency.

How much this coalition, to which NES is attached, cares about the youth of Krajina as an economically endangered and isolated region, is shown by what Sedić announced yesterday.

The People's European Party, currently, again with the help of Konaković's party, but also Nermin Nikšić's party, governs Bosanska Krajina, but even that was not enough motivation for them to seek capital funds for Krajina.

Because that anti-people Cazinska alliance does not care about Krajina, just as it does not care about any part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are interested in functions and personal positions, everything else can be and is a means of trade, including the future of the region that defended itself from a far superior aggressor.

Therefore, it is expected that the people of Krajina will defend themselves from the anti-Krajina alliance NES-Trojka-Bećirović, if they want to remain and survive on the land for which they gave their lives.

If they do not come to their senses, they will be a means of trade until they disappear, one by one, house by house, and move to Slovenia, Germany, Austria, leaving Krajina as a memory of better times.

The anti-European and anti-people alliance has stayed in Krajina for too long, Krajišnici, you are on the move!
