Media war between Radončić and Izetbegović continues: Accusations of bad governance and crime

The media war between the two candidates for the BiH Presidency and leaders of the SDA and SBB parties, Bakir Izetbegović and Fahrudin Radončić, is not subsiding, reports the BiH news agency Patria (NAP). Namely, this morning's "Dnevni avaz", a newspaper founded by Radončić, fiercely criticized Izetbegović for his statement on OBN Television that not everything in BiH is black.

At the same time, Al-Jazeera Balkans, close to Izetbegović, published a new text last night regarding the accusations against Radončić made in Kosovo. The media outlet, which favors Radončić, cites statements from analysts and citizens about the catastrophic state of BiH, and states that Izetbegović should be ashamed for making such a statement. They described that statement as "the best example of how rulers want to cover up the catastrophic consequences of their 20 years of incompetent rule."

On the other hand, Al-Jazeera states that it has had access to the indictment against Naser Keljmendi and that Radončić is mentioned in it as part of a criminal group.

- In the indictment to which Al Jazeera had access, Fahrudin Radončić is mentioned in two of the total nine counts, which relate to organized crime and murder. Prosecutors in Kosovo have classified him as part of a criminal group that held a series of meetings in Sarajevo in 2006, where the murder of, as stated, rival and main gangster Ramiz Delalić – Ćelo – was planned, Al-Jazeera reported, adding that the stance of the BiH Prosecutor's Office that no investigation is being conducted against Radončić changes nothing for Kosovo, reports NAP.

In addition to Izetbegović and Radončić, serious candidates for the Bosniak member of the BiH Presidency are Dr. Mustafa Cerić, an independent candidate, Bakir Hadžiomerović (SDP), and Emir Suljagić (Democratic Front).
