Desperately Seeking an Accomplice

One of the questions I've been seeking an answer to since October is: Why did the BH. bloc, with calls of "we won't work with SDA," revive the almost-dead BI and enable the mortally wounded FR to fully recover, thereby denying themselves even the possibility of becoming a decisive factor for a long time, even as a strong or constructive opposition? 

And not only that – although this is the most serious oversight(?) – but the weak cohesive ties, which I have already pointed out with the metaphor of prickly egos – have been further weakened to the point where ŽK, despite an innumerable amount of mistakes and bad habits... everything passes even with the most traditional Bosniaks-Muslims, at one point becomes the key figure who, "in a difficult and complicated historical moment, wants to take responsibility to enter into a difficult political situation" with BI should take responsibility for the difficult decisions that this will have to make in the foreseeable future?! And not only that... Allegedly due to the unity of the BH. bloc and internal loyalty – or a last-minute postponed coffee? – to again enable FR and associates an unexpected(?) gain on the political lottery to become happy accomplices-saviors of the country, state, nation... everything. And not only that... the policy of "better to heroically retreat than to cowardly win" and vice versa, which largely resembles Alan Ford-like wisdom such as "It's better to be rich and healthy because, if you're poor, it's no use that you're sick"... is an extremely popular way of inter-party communication in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the one hand, loud and sweet calls for the salvation and defense of the state(!) – mentioning patriotic duty certainly coincides with the constant and incessant mentioning of war, the most terrible episode in the lives of hundreds of thousands and millions of people, indicating that there are those who are ready to go to war again to preserve power and what power has enabled them – seasoned with the certainty of tenders of all sizes and for everyone's pocket... However, so that it's not all about money – it's not all about money, it's also about how to earn and keep it.

Until recently, I would get goosebumps every time BI or ŠDŽ or HG or AO (the latter is the minister of the fundamental and crown ministry in the VM, the Ministry of Civil Affairs on which the state almost literally rests, and who was recently kicked out of the agricultural cooperative, the council of the Islamic community or the OO SDA, I'm not sure, and one of the five smartest and most influential Bosniaks)... said "we Bosniaks"... and recently I get goosebumps when I hear the latest cliché "broad coalition"... First of all, the "we" if it ever existed, ceased to (exist) at the moment they became "them", and we remained "us"; fortunately, they haven't done that for a long time. Recently, especially with the shifts on the regional scene and meetings on the global stage, I get chills down my spine when I hear the term broad coalition... 

Why suddenly (since October) the convening of a broad coalition? Is it really a gentlemanly offer for joint action on the path to improvement, filling the thinned ranks, or seeking accomplices or rather co-conspirators for something that is brewing behind the hills? It would be much simpler if things in politics worked as they do in economics... there, agreements and consensus are ultimately forbidden. In other words, the existence of competition forces everyone who produces and sells something to constantly offer customers products that are either better, cheaper, more desirable... the kind people want to buy and are willing to pay for, but at the real market price determined by supply and demand. Monopoly is never good, and in power, sooner or later, it "backfires". But that's for another time.

Power at the state level is left to SNSD and HDZ, and at the FBiH level, power has never left HDZ's hands... Power in RS is established automatically, in FBiH only if DČ gives as much as they ask, and in BiH somehow or not at all. Croatia has been causing problems since last year, both where they exist and where they don't, HNS likewise... and Turkey is financing two expressways in the Balkans, both across the Drina. NATO is as far away as the EU, the maximum we can hope for is MAP, and as for the EU, not even that. We even tried to sell them a pig in a poke, avoiding answering at least twenty questions. It is highly likely that after the Macedonian-Greek agreement on changing the name, the Serbian-Kosovo agreement on territorial exchange has also been concluded, only no one knows how to announce it, so a scapegoat is being sought. Albania and Kosovo are abolishing borders, everything is shaking in Montenegro, and Montenegro as a whole does not seem particularly stable... What is being prepared for us? 

Are Christian Schwarz-Schilling and Bogić Bogićević revealing this to us? In the nineties, everything began with the SANU Memorandum. National parties won the elections. It is difficult to understand that after a bloody war, Srebrenica, and Dayton, the same national parties are in power again. If the actors are the same, the results cannot be different even today. Despite everything, I don't think there will be a war. The second SANU memorandum represents clear instructions on how to dismantle BiH. The first instruction was the organization of defense for the accused in The Hague. Then it was demanded that the formation of state institutions be prevented in every possible way, under the pretext that they are unnecessary and expensive. They asked not to mention the name BiH, but to speak of RS and other parts. Nothing common was to be supported, not even sports. Then a certain amount of time was supposed to pass for RS to join Serbia, and that would be the realization of the final goal.“ 

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get a statement out of one of the former prominent men in this country, who, reflecting on his own and his colleagues' performance over the past almost thirty years, importantly stated that they had "secured an address in the United Nations" for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that future generations should take care of the rest.

What if it's not just about RS, but about the whole of BiH?
