Silajdžić in 2006 announced that Croats would seek a third entity

In September 2006, the Federal Television broadcast the political magazine 60 Minutes, in which the guests in the studio were candidates for members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, writes the news agency Patria. 

Among them was Haris Silajdžić, former president of the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, who won the race for the Bosniak member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the elections held that year. 

He then explained why it is dangerous for peoples, rather than citizens, to elect each other's representatives in government and announced that Croats would be "disgusted with Bosnia and Herzegovina" and that they would move towards the establishment of a third entity.
