My solid Pasha...

Nobody in this country has it easy... Not politicians, not apolitical people, not the rich, not the poor, not those who have to earn their bread, not those who have to(?!) pay that earning... Nobody, not even columnists. The news – the nonsense – they would like to react to and write their opinion on literally outpace each other, and there is little time to react to everything. It is incomparably easier for television political analysts: they are called, they say what they have to say on camera, and they finish the job. Columnists first have to choose the biggest piece of nonsense of the day – and that is no longer an easy and simple task – then sit down, write, send... and by the time it is proofread, corrected, published... new pieces of nonsense have already knocked on the wall of shame for that day.

For example, just as one is preparing to competently comment on the incredible amount of nonsense, contradictions, and foolishness that the keynote speaker at a reputable intellectual gathering uttered in less than a minute – for which truly extraordinary intellect is needed, comparable only to the semi-intelligent person who invited and promoted him as the keynote speaker for anything – DČ and BLJ commit such a foul in the penalty area that it is simply unprofessional not to take the penalty kick.

Namely, the president of the Main Board of the Citizens' Association HNS BLJ stated that HNS will accept DF as a partner on the condition that the ŽK party defines itself as part of the Bosniak bloc. With a clear conscience, continuing with the foolishness, this esteemed member of the Parliament of the neighboring country, following the human and political idiocy of his compatriot(?) ŽZ regarding the possible constitutional setup of Bosnia and Herzegovina based on Lebanon(?!) – a traditional European, progressive, and prosperous democracy, therefore, not allowing even a thought of any civic organization and participation in power, traditionally mercilessly trampling all principles and the letter and spirit of the Dayton Agreement, asserts that "through this process that has been ongoing for almost six months, after the elections, the representation of Croats, and it seems to me also Serbs, in the negotiations for the establishment of government at the entity and state level has been absolutely defined" and that "as far as Croatian representation is concerned, HDZ BiH, as the leader of the HNS parties, is that partner in the negotiations." However, even this statement, which represents just another verbal diarrhea, must be (given) recognition for its innovation: by promoting BI as the frontman(?!) of the Bosniak bloc represented by SDA, BLJ has introduced music into BiH politics alongside the existing sports and medical terminology.
But, let them have theirs, and we have ours.

I am not surprised that BLJ, in the name and after DČ, insists on BI as the sole negotiator on the Bosniak side. Namely, a few years ago, some people planned to create a book with stories by three authors, logically one Serb, one Croat, and one Bosniak... The Serbs and Croats chose true masters of the craft, good and well-known writers, renowned authors with unquestionable national and every other background... and among the Bosniaks, despite the always rich selection, they chose a pen that could not boast much, neither from a professional nor a craft perspective, nor did it have much to show in terms of reputation, except that he was a Bosniak, if that means anything. Flattered by the respectable company offered, the poor Bosniak, in love with his own perception of himself, boasted about this offer to another Bosniak, a literary critic, feigning modesty and lamenting to him that he did not know how he deserved such an honor. Not caring about the possible consequences (and there could have been many, as the Bosniak writer at the time had the opportunity to make many lives miserable – and did), the Bosniak critic told him brotherly: By God... because you are a bad writer.

Therefore, I am not surprised that DČ insists on BI as the sole negotiator on the Bosniak side. There are many reasons: he is used to him, he knows his weak points and what to remind him of if he happens to get stubborn, he knows how and from which angle to approach him to make concessions that no one else would, and he knows that among the official Bosniaks there is no one who will ever say: Boss / President / Everything... this is not quite right... you shouldn't have done this... It is also clear why he does not want ŽK in the negotiations: he is neither autochthonous, nor legitimate, nor Bosniak! ...and two Croats and one Serb and one Bosniak in negotiations, let alone power sharing, is not proportional to their numbers, although it is proportional to their percentage of participation in power.

Bosniaks should be a very potent people. At least according to their own perception of themselves, although they very often function at the diminutive level. However, regardless of that, there is almost no Bosniak who doesn't think they could be the coach of the world football team, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and the director of the universe... and everything below and sometimes above that. There is almost no Bosniak footballer who doesn't think that, if things had gone a little differently in his life, he could have been better than Ronaldo, Messi, or at least Džeko... There is no Bosniak hodja who doesn't think he could be the Pope with ease (the Reis is a bit of a stretch), there is no Bosniak professor who doesn't think he is better than half the academics of the French Academy of Sciences (so, lacking support, he creates his own and becomes an academic for himself and his wife... and his family)... There is no Bosniak lawyer who doesn't think he is ripe for some international tribunal (like the HJPC)... There is no Bosniak gynecologist who doesn't think he can perform heart surgery and, in addition, decide on European integration processes... And none of that surprises me... Bosniaks are a very... potent people, and it doesn't surprise me that there is almost no Bosniak who doesn't think he is God-given for everything, if not for all.

But I am surprised that among so many masters and experts, there isn't a single one who will put a hand on the shoulder of an arrogant Bosniak and tell him brotherly: My solid Pasha... this is not for you.
