In BiH, there is a directed chaos controlled by certain centers of power

Damir Čardžić, a representative in the Assembly of Sarajevo Canton and a delegate in the House of Peoples of the Parliament of the Federation of BiH in the previous term, spoke to the Patria news agency about the current political situation in BiH and offered his guidance on how to improve it. 

- The situation in the country is very complex, and there is a directed chaos controlled by certain centers of power. There is no corrective factor that should somehow bring everything back to normal or hold someone accountable before the law.

Citizens must impose rules based on the principle of what is right, what is wrong, what is possible and what is impossible, what is good and what is bad, and vote for those who prove they can make positive progress. The key is in the hands of citizens and their right to decide in elections, which is the only democratic path, says Čardžić. 

In his opinion, improving the lives of all citizens requires amending the Constitution of the Federation of BiH and abolishing the cantons in the Federation of BiH, which would lead to significant financial savings. 

- On February 12, 2014, I submitted for adoption in the Assembly of Sarajevo Canton the "Declaration on Amending the Constitution of the Federation of BiH," which, although required by the rules of procedure, was never considered or placed on the agenda, states Čardžić. 
He says that no political party has so far had the ability to control all processes. 

- Because it did not have full capacity nor sincere coalition partners in either the legislative or executive branch, and this is necessary to prevent periodic obstructions from partners in power, emphasizes Čardžić and adds: 

- The media spin information to prevent the people from dealing with the real state of society, i.e., not thinking about the fact that there are no jobs, nothing to eat, the economy is not working, the country is plundered, etc., etc. 

Recently, I have been bothered by the emphasis on "Islamic terrorism." There is no Islamic, Catholic, or any other terrorism, nor terrorism called for by religion or nation. A terrorist is a terrorist without any prefix.

Čardžić also commented on the work of the judiciary in our country. 

- I watched an interview with Vasvija Vidović, who specifically commented on the work of the Prosecutor's Office of BiH, pointing out poor preparation of cases and indictments that later collapse in courts, and then the state is forced to pay high amounts to individuals who were arrested or prosecuted and then acquitted. 

She notes that they spectacularly arrest people, then less spectacularly release them! There was an example when, the day before the pre-election campaign in the last elections, the leadership of the People's Party Work for Betterment was arrested. Then, the night before the pre-election silence, all media announced that their "organized criminal group" had its detention extended for another 60 days, and then, following the principle of "oh, sorry," they were released a few days after the elections. 

To make the absurdity even greater, the Constitutional Court of BiH decided that there were no grounds for ordering detention at all, and that part of the decision of the Court of BiH ordering detention violated the Constitution of BiH and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. 

The decision of the Constitutional Court of BiH is only moral satisfaction for the leadership and members of "Boljitak," who all along claimed it was a political arrest aimed at removing them from the political scene until the general elections were over, and which, as shown after the elections, caused enormous damage because, by all indicators, "Boljitak" should have had a better result than in the 2010 elections. Who will be held accountable for this? More than terrible, concludes Čardžić. 

IN BiH, EVERYONE IS THREATENED, BUT IT IS HARDEST FOR OTHERS  

- The Chairman of the Presidency of BiH, Mladen Ivanić, stated that it is difficult to be a Serb in the Federation of BiH and a Bosniak in the RS. In BiH, all constituent peoples are equally threatened, but it is hardest for the category of Others because our most important rights have been taken away.

Imagine the absurdity: born in BiH, you live your whole life here, grow up, get educated, work, earn various public and social recognitions, and then you have no right to run for member of the Presidency of BiH or the entities, for the state House of Peoples, you cannot be judges of constitutional courts... This state must be based on the principles of equality of all its citizens before the constitution and laws, says Čardžić.
