Everyone to Stolac

It seemed to me that a precedent in Bosnia and Herzegovina was set in Mostar, but the political elite from Zagreb claims that Stolac is the place of the precedent.

Unfortunately, in our country, only normal things are a precedent, and this is not. It is a normal occurrence for high-ranking officials of neighboring countries to actively participate in shaping the political scene in our country.

It is normal for the issue of a referendum to be discussed in Belgrade. It is normal for the official Zagreb to have the final say on the fate of a Municipality in BiH.

The important question is how far the so-called HZHB will extend, what space it will occupy. Everything is more important than important. When we ourselves do not know, neighbors should guide us through procedures and rights, so that we do not violate them.

Now, some Mr. Kaplan has appeared who wants to act smart, but does not know the election procedures himself, so we should explain some things to him. When it comes to the actions of HDZ BiH, there can be no talk of electoral fraud, because the vital national interest of Croats excludes electoral fraud.

It is another matter that Mr. Kaplan is creating a problem around a clear situation; every ballot paper with an "X" next to his name is invalid. Only ballots with this mark next to the name of Mr. Stjepan Bošković are valid. A very clear situation, and the gentlemen from Croatia are right when they say that this is discrimination against Croats.

The statements made by those from the Initiative for Stolac, calling the Municipal Organization Stolac of HDZ BiH a criminal organization, are an expression of pure insolence, because crime, too, is an integral part of vital interest.

The worst of all that could be heard are certainly the accusations against Bosniak politicians, that they are not speaking out about the situation that has arisen in Stolac. What could they say?

Kaplan's shame, to which he has exposed all Bosniaks not only in BiH but also around the world, is evident. To what extent has it come that the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia has to come to Stolac and explain what is happening. There is no electoral theft, it is about the vital interest of Croats.

Bosniak politicians have more important things to do than to be ashamed and comment on Kaplan's actions. It is much more important to resolve the issue of who is with Gülen and who is with Erdoğan among Bosniaks. This is the real political issue, not the nonsense about the elections in Stolac.

Some names are already known, but there are many who are hiding; much effort must be invested to bring these Gülenists to light. It would not surprise me if Kaplan himself is a Gülenist, and all those from that famous Initiative, especially those Serbs.

When I consider all this, there can never be peace here, because 25 percent of Bosnia and Herzegovina is not enough for Bosniaks; they want Stolac now too.

What do they think, just because they are over 50 percent, that gives them the right to take power as they wish? Democratic rights must be respected.

Mr. Kaplan, democracy implies that all executive government functions in FBiH belong to HDZ BiH and its honest cadres, led by President Dragan Čović.

The fact that a Bosniak here and there holds a position in FBiH is only proof of the European standards and democracy that Mr. Čović upholds.
