Everything the same, only it's not a gas but an electricity crisis, Džindić and Novalić care 'that they are not to blame'!

The Government of the Federation of BiH, which does not resemble "nothing", has become a monster, Professor Izudin Kešetović will rightly conclude in his extensive analysis regarding the 'electric shock' that Prime Minister Fadil Novalić (SDA) and line minister Nermin Džindić (SBB) are trying to present, using well-known methods, as a problem that does not concern them.

For some time now, this duo has been destroying everything in their path, as they proved during the 'gas crisis'. At that time, they ignored all letters and warnings from the former director of BH-Gas, Jasmin Salkić, portraying him as the main culprit for all events, and they continued this way until the final goal, until Salkić resigned, on the very day his dismissal was ready. But Salkić left, and all the problems remained. And there will be even more, because BH-Gas can no longer be a successful company, and their operations have been transferred to Energoinvest.

Now the game revolves around the director of Elektroprivreda, Admir Andelija, whose letters and warnings are also ignored by the Novalić-Džindić duo. As early as the beginning of November, Elektroprivreda BiH requested from the Federation Government a limitation on electricity prices. But Minister Džindić and Federal Prime Minister Novalić have not yet placed the proposed decision submitted by this public company on the agenda.

Namely, with this Decision, the Government of the Federation of BiH prescribes temporary measures for direct control of electricity prices for 2022, for qualified electricity customers who are not supplied within the universal service, but the FBiH Government, as in the case of the 'gas crisis', turns a blind eye. The most important thing was to calm the miners, and the consequences will be dealt with later!

Such behavior led to Džindić's famous statement when the Sarajevo District Heating plants were left without gas - it doesn't matter who is to blame, what matters is that the problem was solved! And this duo operates on such ad-hoc politics, without strategy or long-term plans, putting out fires where they are currently burning, while billing others for the smoldering ones. Everyone is to blame except them.

And in the end, such bills are always paid by the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina! So, the Hungarian gas transporter company FGSZ, with which the FBiH Government still has a valid contract for gas transport to Bosnia and Herzegovina, sued Energoinvest, BH-Gas, and the Government of the Federation, seeking compensation of 21.1 million US dollars.

Information about the lawsuit was also discussed at a session of the FBiH Government, where the relevant Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining of FBiH informed the Federal Government that the proceedings were initiated before the International Arbitration Court in Zurich (Switzerland). This information was adopted, more precisely taken note of, confirmed to Patria from the FBiH Government, but was hidden from the public.

This is essentially the culmination of everything the former Management of BH Gas warned about: that via 'TurkStream' the gas price would be higher, that this price would come into effect from January 1st, and finally that the Hungarians would sue after three invoices were not paid.

So, everything they wrote in the analysis in March 2021 has happened, and the main person responsible for all of this is Minister Džindić.

The judiciary in this case is 'at a standstill', although everything has been duly reported, but if there is a state and law, Džindić will have to answer because he is solely responsible for what will follow with the verdict of the court in Switzerland.

A similar scenario is ready for electricity, the modus operandi is identical, but everything has been going on for too long for the citizens of BiH to afford another failure by the Džindić-Novalić duo.
