Transcript of the FBiH Government Session Confirms: 15 Ministers from SDP, NiP, NS and Both HDZs Voted for the Appointment of Isak Jr.

(Patria) - Of all the ministers (16 plus the prime minister) in the FBiH Government, only Ramo Isak and Jasna Duraković did not vote for the decision appointing Rusmir Isak as director of KPZ Zenica. Ramo Isak did not vote because he would have a conflict of interest, and Jasna Duraković because she was not at the session. 15 ministers voted for the decision. All those who were present. So, Ramo Isak did not appoint his son. He was appointed by ministers from the SDP, Our Party, People and Justice, and HDZ BiH. And that is why Ramo Isak bears no blame for the appointment of his son, writes Istraga.ba

Unanimous support for Isak

The blame lies primarily with Nermin Nikšić, the federal prime minister. Deputy Prime Minister Vojin Mijatović (SDP) is to blame. And Deputy Prime Minister Toni Kraljević (HDZ). Also voting for the appointment of Isak Jr. was Nerin Dizdar, SDP minister for displaced persons and refugees. And Nedžad Lokmić, minister for veterans and disabled persons affairs (SDP). And Vedran Lakić, minister of energy, mining and industry of FBiH. Also voting for the appointment of Ramo Isak's son was the proposer Vedran Škobić (HDZ), minister of justice of FBiH. And Sanja Vlaisavljević (HDZ) – minister of culture and sports. And Željko Nedić (HDZ) – minister of spatial planning of FBiH. And Andrijana Katić Filipović (HDZ) – minister of transport and communications of FBiH. And Minister of Health Nediljko Rimac (HDZ 1990). Also voting for the appointment of Isak Jr. were the “moral” pillars from Our Party, Amir Hasičević, minister of trade of FBiH, Nasiha Pozder (Our Party) – minister of environment and tourism of FBiH. Also voting were the even “more moral” ministers from NiP – Adnan Delić, minister of labour and social policy, and Kemal Hrnjić, minister of agriculture, water management and forestry of FBiH.

Sebija Ćudić from Our Party

“That is a very bad message and I think that every time such decisions are made, it is a shot in the foot for the policies we are fighting for,” said the grey eminence of Our Party, Sabina Ćudić, regarding the appointment of Rusmir Isak as director of KPZ Zenica.

Logically, Sabina Ćudić, whom they already call Sebija Ćudić in Our Party, has nothing to do with the bad moves of her party and coalition. She is, after all, only responsible for the successes she achieved, sparing no effort, travelling by “Uber” and “metro” through European metropolises.

The appointment of Rusmir Isak as director of KPZ is not the first case of nepotism for the ruling coalition and current Prime Minister Nikšić. For example, in his first term as prime minister, Nermin Nikšić “recused” himself from voting when his government appointed his brother Mirsad as executive director of the FBiH Motorways Public Company.

Genetic predetermination

One should also recall the appointment of Jasmin Ademović, the son of NiP Vice President Kemal Ademović, as chairperson of the Sarajevo City Council.

“Kemal Ademović is one of the most moral and honourable people I have met. When Jasmin arrived as a proposal from the municipal organisation for the list, Kemal came to me personally and said that he would not be on the list. He was supposed to be the list bearer, he said he would not if Jasmin was on it, it wasn't right for both of them to be on it. Because of Jasmin's candidacy, he refused all other positions in the Government, institutions, and bodies. He does not earn a single mark in the public sector. Do you know of a similar example in BiH? That a high-ranking official of some party said, 'If my child, brother, sister, spouse or father goes to some position or list, I withdraw?' You accuse that man of nepotism? Currently, our higher goal is for someone brave to go through that process, someone who can withstand this attack by the corrupt octopus. And that is why it is good that we chose the genetically predetermined Ademović. For yet another important battle,” said Elmedin Konaković after the appointment.

After this, Kemal Ademović was elected as a member of the Collegium of the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH. Ademović Jr. remained chairperson of the Sarajevo City Council.

Fo(r)to Art

Let's move on. The company of Gordan Memija, godfather of state minister Elmedin Konaković, was awarded a contract worth 210 thousand marks. The contract for Foto Art was awarded by the ministry headed by Konaković's coalition colleague and fellow minister – Edin Forto.
