Trojka repeats the same mistake: The story of new 'European politicians' is just an illusion, even the opposition from RS will not oppose January 9th!

Even before, as the ruling parties like to boast, the fastest formation of the BiH Council of Ministers in 2023 in January, certain structures in Bosnia and Herzegovina, analysts, journalists warned that Milorad Dodik and his SNSD are not European people. Trojka at that time loudly said only one thing – Dodik has become a European politician, and that he will solve every problem through compromise.

Two years later, Narod i pravda, SDP, and Naša stranka, somewhat uncoordinatedly, are initiating the dismissal of SNSD cadres, with the narrative that they can no longer work with them because they are hindering BiH's European path. They now want to be in power with the opposition from Republika Srpska, with whom they could have been in 2023 as well, but for reasons known to them, because they obviously considered SDA to be the biggest problem in that dreaded 'triumvirate of power'.

Although the change of government is in the hands of HDZ and Dragan Čović, who has never distanced himself from Dodik, even though Trojka and analysts close to them also claimed this, Trojka today talks about the opposition from RS as they did about Dodik back then – they are European politicians!

And they are already proving to them today that this argument doesn't hold water! The key contradiction – if the opposition in RS supports the unconstitutional January 9th and the SNSD's initiative, how truly "European politicians" are they?

Because, the president of the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS), Milan Miličević, states that the SDS-PDP-Lista za pravdu i red Club in the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH will support the SNSD's initiative to dismiss the Minister of Foreign Affairs of BiH, Elmedin Konaković.

Of course, because they too will not oppose January 9th, the unconstitutional day of celebration of Republika Srpska.

"We will support that initiative, which was put forward by SNSD, because it is related to January 9th, which is the Day of Republika Srpska, which we in RS celebrate with dignity, without offending or endangering anyone else," Miličević told reporters in Banja Luka after a meeting of representatives of opposition parties in RS.
Can a European politician advocate for not respecting the decision of the Constitutional Court? Can a politician or party of European origin celebrate a day that discriminates against someone, and January 9th discriminates against two entire nations, Bosniaks and Croats.

Is it worth it for Trojka to watch a movie whose ending is known in advance?

It will be particularly interesting to observe the vote of the RS opposition on the initiatives for Konaković's dismissal submitted by SDA and DF. Their reasoning is completely opposite to the one offered by SNSD. And it is directed precisely towards BiH's European path.

The opposition from RS will not support such an initiative! Therefore, the matter is completely clear. Political games around coalitions should be concluded as soon as possible if we want to catch the last wagon of the train going to Brussels.

Everything else is politicking and preparation for 2026, when the General Elections in BiH are held. And if it is too early for BiH, the election campaign has already begun.
