The "Trojka" cannot be part of the pro-Bosnian bloc as long as separatists can count on Konaković, Nikšić, and Forta

The authorities in Republika Srpska can still count on us. This is how the head of diplomacy and president of People and Justice, Elmedin Konaković, responded to the political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And the crisis was created precisely by the authorities in Republika Srpska, led by Milorad Dodik.

After this statement by Konaković, the only question that arises is whether Dodik and the National Assembly of Republika Srpska (NSRS) can count on the "Trojka" (a coalition of three parties) in their continued attacks on the constitutional and legal order of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because, if Konaković is so loyal to them as a partner in the dysfunctional state government, and if after everything Dodik has done in recent days he says that "the authorities of Republika Srpska can count on them," is the "Trojka" ready to engage in a coup d'état.

And at a press conference after the debacle in Konjic, he asks the media, "What have we given to Dodik?". Well, let's say, you have given him a partnership that aids his secessionist intentions.

You have given, Minister Konaković, the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina for management to SNSD (Alliance of Independent Social Democrats), and from it, directly and indirectly, funds are used against the state and its institutions. For example, Dodik's minister Staša Košarac, at a time when he is undermining this state with his president, is simultaneously ordering a new limousine at its expense.

The Chief Prosecutor Milanko Kajganić, who turns a blind eye and deaf ear during the coup d'état, is also ordering a limousine at the state's expense, which he does not even defend ex officio, as his position requires. And there are many such cases, but you, Minister Konaković, continue to stumble through politics that you are not up to and ask, "What have we given them?". And the Indirect Taxation Authority is in the hands of Dodik, who is in financial collapse.

But the worst thing from the arsenal of "surrendering the state" is the fact that you gave them the opportunity to come to the heart of this country and deny the genocide in Srebrenica. And they say, Minister Konaković, that you didn't even bat an eye, nor did your friend Nermin Nikšić, who hoarsely calmed Zukan Helez and prevented him from showing Dodik his rightful place. It is said, Minister Konaković, that you were ready to give Dodik the money he desperately needs.

Isn't that treason, Minister Konaković? Do you know how the Spanish government responded to the move of the Catalan separatists? Did you learn anything in your diplomacy courses about that? You didn't, or you would have seen that example for everyone fighting separatism. And instead of fighting, you are sending a message that you are unwavering in your partnership.

You have traded the state for power, and that is the basic math of your political actions. Therefore, like your partners from the "Trojka," you continue to deceive the BiH public that state government is functioning, even though the state is on the brink of apocalypse, war, and division. However, for those of us who predicted this when you entered Michael Murphy's project, it is not surprising.

Then, as today, we knew that you were ready to hand everything over to Dragan Čović and Milorad Dodik in exchange for positions in power. But power is not just benefits, it is also responsibility. And you are the first group of parties from Sarajevo to show readiness to allow the division of Bosnia and Herzegovina and take responsibility for it.

Are you discussing this on your trips for which you boast that you have returned Bosnia and Herzegovina "to the places of decision-making"? God forbid, because it seems that the decision is no longer whether we will join the EU, NATO, or other international organizations. Now the decision is whether we will survive, exist as a state. You have really brought us back to the places of decision-making.

The game you have started is too big a bite not only for you, Minister Konaković, but also for your partners in the "Trojka" - Edin Forta and Nermin Nikšić. All three of you live in some parallel universe and delusion, but you forget that the threats created by Dodik are real with long-lasting consequences. The fact that you let him deny the genocide and left Zukan Helez to deal with Dodik alone is a disgrace. The fact that you don't dare to say no to Dodik, even when he is undermining the institutions you lead, is TREASON.

And therefore, the days of political crisis caused by policies from Republika Srpska are the best indicator that the "Trojka" project should no longer be considered part of the pro-Bosnian political bloc. Because, pro-Bosnian means pro-state, not pro-interest or pro-Dodik.

There can be no place for you "Trojka" members there, because you are partners on whom Milorad Dodik can always count. And Milorad Dodik's partners, from Putin, through Orban and Vučić, to the "Trojka," have a common characteristic - they support his secessionist endeavors.

Also, the fact that both Dodik and Čović felt so strong with you in their campaign against the state speaks volumes about this "partnership relationship" in state government. Because, every day we see examples where the aforementioned duo makes moves that diminish the statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And you haven't even been in power for half a year. On the other hand, the laws for the European path, the equipping of the BiH Armed Forces on the NATO path are direct proof that Euro-Atlantic integrations can be lost forever after the current "non-programmatic" coalition government.

And all of this, and what cannot be listed in one text, is proof that Dodik and Čović feel happy and powerful with you to finish the job they couldn't before. And they couldn't because someone was preventing them. Now they have seized the opportunity, because the partners from Sarajevo do not see the price of staying in power.

A government that can easily be the last in a sovereign and territorially integrated Bosnia and Herzegovina.
