It's Not NES and SBiH Who Are to Blame for SDP, But They Themselves: After Lagumdžija, Grabovica Arrives, Dissatisfaction Grows!

SDP BiH suffered a major failure yesterday and we will discuss it very seriously, said in the first reaction to that debacle in the House of Peoples of the FBiH Vojin Mijatović, vice president of the SDP. 

Although he claims that NiP was fair towards the SDP, and turned all poisonous arrows towards NES and SBiH, in reality and factually such a story does not hold at all.

According to Patria's findings, Damir Marjanović (For New Generations) 'worked' Nermin Nikšić at the urging of individuals from the SDP in order to weaken Nikšić's position. 

It is known that a real 'trench war' is taking place in the SDP and that the party is dividing, and all the drama was further spiced up by Denis Bećirović with his ambassador proposals, while tension is growing, primarily because the formation of government is not going according to the planned dynamics, and trust within the six/eight is increasingly damaged.

But, obviously, they are saving what can be saved, so now the blame for the fact that the SDP is left without delegates in the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliament is being shifted to NES and SBiH, which actually do not even form the government at the state level, and everything regarding the Federation is still in a fog.

And, this is how things stand.

NES said how they would vote as early as 10 days ago and everyone knew about it and no one publicly spoke about it or expressed disapproval, nor is it known that meetings were held within the eight to solve the problem. Concurrently, the media regularly reported on how the SDP was tricked and how Konaković outsmarted Nikšić.

But NiP did not want to give up on Kemal Ademović, who ultimately entered the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliament.

We reliably learn that NES, as well as the Party for BiH, have not been coordinating at all with the rest of the 'partners' within the eight in the last ten days, and it was the same while the government was being formed at the state level, which is why they ultimately left that coalition, admitting that they were very little informed about the agreements regarding HDZ and SNSD.

The amount of distrust is also shown by the fact that NiP wanted to trick the SDP for the position of Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and instead of Zukan Helez, an attempt was made to install Elmedin Konaković.

The reason is control over the appointment of the director of the Intelligence-Security Agency.

It could be said that within the eight at the level of FBiH and Canton Sarajevo everything went according to plan, but then the appointment of Zlatko Lagumdžija as BiH ambassador to the UN emerged.

Chaos erupted within the SDP, and Nikšić immediately distanced himself, saying that the party did not propose Lagumdžija, but that Bećirović did so autonomously.

However, Nikšić has another demand that could also clear things up. Nikšić wants Elvedin Grabovica to be the director of JP Elektroprivreda BiH. And, Grabovica is a 'direct link' to Lagumdžija, and Nikšić holds that line, although he tells SDP members that this is not true, which was confirmed last night by Vojin Mijatović.

He said that the president of the SDP, Nermin Nikšić, annoys him but that he has the human trait of trusting people to the end, now the question is whether the SDP members who are against the 'revival' of the former strongest men of the SDP trust Nikšić to the end.

In Canton Sarajevo, Adnan Šteta (SDP) does not agree to cadres close to Lagumdžija, so the drama could continue when it comes to forming the government within Canton Sarajevo, and that will have nothing to do with NES and SBiH, but exclusively with dissatisfaction within the SDP itself.
