CORRESPONDENCE Nikšić used FUP as SDP's private security firm to overthrow the TK Government, Munjić awaited further instructions

“We were then arranging the overthrow of the Tuzla Canton Government,” will admit the representative in the Tuzla Canton Assembly Zumra Avdibegović-Begić (SBiH), after we asked her why in October 2023, Federal Prime Minister Nermin Nikšić and FUP Director Vahidin Munjić exchanged her personal data.

Zumra Avdibegović was a dissatisfied member of SDA that year, with whom the opposition gathered around SDP was arranging the overthrow of the TK Government, which consisted of ministers from SDA and DF.

“I did not communicate with Nikšić. I spoke with the opposition in Tuzla at the time and said that I was afraid to change the decision,” representative Avdibegović confirmed to Istraga.

Nermin Nikšić found a solution for Zumra's fears. And that was in the Federal Police Administration, which he used as a private security agency for the ruling SDP. After Avdibegović-Begić complained that she was afraid to overthrow the TK Government, Nermin Nikšić sent messages to FUP Director Vahidin Munjić.

Nermin Nikšić, 19.10.2023, 18:03:04: „Car – white Nisan M60J99”

Nermin Nikšić, 19.10.2023, 18:03:04: „I.... M....... xx Tuzla” (the exact address was written, but Patria will not publish her address).

Nermin Nikšić, 19.10.2023, 18:03:04: „Zumra Avdibegović Begić, 061 42…05“

Vahidin Munjić, 19.10.2023, 18:10:12: „Understood Prime Minister, awaiting further instructions“.

Shortly after, one of Munjić's associates contacted representative Avdibegović-Begić. She admitted it in the first conversation, but now says she will only tell the investigative bodies who contacted her. That is why we contacted the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office in Tuzla. We asked them if Zumra Avdibegović-Begić had ever, especially in October 2023, reported to that institution that her safety was threatened (that she had threats), and whether the FUP had sent any information about its involvement for or against Zumra Avdibegović-Begić.

“There is no report or notification from any police agency regarding the endangerment of Zumra Avdibegović-Begić's safety registered in the case management database in the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office of TK,” we were told by the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office in Tuzla.

On what grounds did he act is a question that investigative bodies should ask Vahidin Munjić and Nermin Nikšić. Because, if Zumra Avdibegović-Begić did not report threats, how did the FUP react? And if the FUP had information about Zumra Avdibegović-Begić's endangerment, why did it not inform the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office in Tuzla? The only certainty is that the FUP took action after messages sent by the acting director of the FUP by the Prime Minister of the Federation of BiH and the president of SDP BiH Nermin Nikšić, whose party is in opposition in TK.

The fact that Nermin Nikšić received the messages he sent to Vahidin Munjić from a third party is proven by the time the messages were sent. Namely, Nikšić sent four messages to the director of the FUP in the same second, 18:03:04, which is proof that these were forwarded messages that Nikšić received from his party cadres from Tuzla Canton. And it was precisely these cadres, Zumra Begić will confirm, who were arranging the overthrow of the Tuzla Canton Government at the time.
