Šaljić: Dino, did Vojin order you to compare patriot Efendić and criminal Stevandić?

By Jasmin Šaljić, representative of the Party for BiH in the KS Assembly

Comparing Stevandić and Efendić, saying they are the same, or bringing them into any context is, to say the least, incorrect and politically corrupt. Vojin did this first two months ago, and for the Day of Statehood of BiH, no less, in the presence of many Bosniak politicians who listened and did not react. We know exactly who they were! Yesterday, Konaković did it again via social media.

Konaković's equation yesterday carries particular weight, as he was a member of the Army of RBiH and is the current BiH minister, who knows who Stevandić is! Vojin's words carry no weight because there are many of us who have exposed and completely unmasked his role and deception in the 2022 election process, as well as his intelligence role and tasks in the Government of the Federation and his general activities in political life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We know Vojin's opinion and intentions!

This with Konaković is a different story, this is serious because he repeated Vojin's words. Is he a mentor to him as well as to Nikšić? It is especially serious that Konaković knows about the red van, about the abduction of innocent people, about singing Chetnik songs, and despite all this, he knows that Stevandić is the creator of unconstitutional laws against the sovereignty of BiH.

Angered by Efendić's public comments that he warned them they could form the Council of Ministers with the opposition from RS without SNSD, he made this disgrace and shame, just like his friend Vojin. I can understand different views, different opinions and perspectives, a different or completely different political view or concept, but equating Stevandić and Efendić, no matter how angry you are, is inhuman, inhumane, stupid, and anti-patriotic!

Stevandić is the current president of the NSRs. Besides this position, he is known to the public for the expulsion, mistreatment, and abduction of Bosniaks in the infamous red van. There are video recordings, but no court outcome. Stevandić sings Ravna Gora songs and does not hide his sympathy for the Chetnik movement. In recent years, he has led processes and created about ten unconstitutional laws directly aimed against the sovereignty of BiH. Konaković knows all this!?

On the other hand, Efendić's father and uncle were members of the Army of RBiH who spent the period 1992-1995 on the defense line at Sokolje. Exactly on the line where Stevandić's Chetniks attempted tank breakthroughs several times, where not a single house in this settlement was spared or remained intact.

For its heroic defense, the settlement was named Settlement of Heroes. The symbolism is that the anniversary was marked and a ceremony was held today.

Furthermore, almost 90% of events related to the defense-liberation war in the Sarajevo Canton take place in the municipality of Novi Grad, which is sponsored by Efendić. Someone who erects the Wings of Freedom memorial on Žuč hill and finances dozens of events for veteran and civilian associations, cherishes and preserves the achievements of our struggle for survival, cannot be put in the same category as Stevandić.
