Aluminija Supervisory Board President Miloš visited the US, lobbied for changes to BiH Election Law

(Patria) - The President of the Supervisory Board of Mostar's Aluminija, Dalibor Miloš, held a lecture in Washington where he stressed that Croats in BiH feel discriminated against and represent victims of, as he said, "the attitude of Bosniaks who promote unitarism and Serbs with a separatist agenda, warning that the Election Law reform has not been implemented in BiH".

"This has enabled further disenfranchisement of Croats," Miloš said, as reported by Večernji list.

The newspaper also points out that Miloš spoke with congressmen Robert Aderholt, Glenn Thompson, Scott Perry, and John Moolenaar in Congress, and that they expressed strong interest in the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"We agreed that there can be no compromise on the implementation of court decisions, as well as the BiH Constitution. There are no compromises in these matters. After all, this was one of the conclusions of the panel I participated in," Miloš said. Večernji list reminds that Miloš was one of the panelists at the conference "Elections of Significance in the Western Balkans and the Middle East", which also included a panel dedicated to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The conference was organized by the "think tank" organization "Transatlantic Leadership Network".

"Unitarism has developed among Bosniaks, and separatism among Serbs. Both claim that this is a response to the behavior of the others. Among Croats, as the smallest nation, a middle way, a middle solution, has developed, and that is federalism," said Miloš, speaking about the problems in BiH. Miloš also criticized the election of Željko Komšić to the BiH Presidency.

Miloš is the president of the Supervisory Board of Mostar's Aluminija, which is on the verge of closure these days. The Independent System Operator in BiH has given Aluminija a deadline to secure financial resources for electricity. Otherwise, Aluminija will be disconnected from the transmission network due to a debt of 184 million KM to Elektroprivreda HZ HB. If this happens, about 900 Aluminija workers will lose their jobs. For now, only the Federal Government is allocating intervention funds to maintain the company's operations. At the end of last month, Aluminija workers suspended work in the company's production facilities to draw attention to the unenviable position they have been in for months.
