UNITED FASCISTS Vinko Sabljo - Dodik's Promoter Hates Serbs, Communists, and Most of All Bosnian Muslims!

By: Rasim Belko

The most common point of convergence between Greater Serbian and Greater Croatian fascists in and around Bosnia and Herzegovina are Bosnian Muslims, the vast majority of whom belong to the Bosniak people. 

Hatred towards Islam and Bosnian Muslims has united centuries-old enemies whose policies are dictated from Belgrade and Zagreb and aggressively imposed as public discourse within Bosnia and Herzegovina. And while we have somehow become accustomed to the storms and special wars of Serbia and Croatia against BiH, it is difficult to understand how their diaspora, the emigrants, today become the spearhead in promoting fascist and racist aspirations against Bosniaks while enjoying the benefits of the free and democratic world on all continents. 

Everything suggests that decades of living under the roof of modern countries have not taught this diaspora tolerance, shared values, and coexistence, just as their compatriots in BiH, Serbia, and Croatia have somehow failed to learn such lessons. Too much has already been written about their political representatives. 

Therefore, it is only incomprehensible to the uninformed that the Croatian diaspora around the world promotes Milorad Dodik, a politician who "flies" on the promotion and support of criminals who expelled more Croats from BiH than all the systems BiH has lived through in history. 

It is clear that apart from the united anti-Muslim movement, nothing else connects these centuries-old feuding enemies. And on these waves of hatred, it happens that Vinko Sabljo, the head of the Croatian World Congress, who publicly expresses his hatred towards Serbs and communists, promotes Dodik and Greater Serbian politics in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

And this is exactly what happened in Germany, when the Croatian World Congress, headed by Sabljo, tried to "foist" Dodik onto German media, so that the SNSD leader could tell stories about the impossibility of BiH, the dangers of Bosnian Muslims, and promote secessionist politics. And all these subversive activities perfectly fit in and were coordinated with Viktor Orban's story about the impossibility of integrating BiH Muslims into the EU and Dragan Čović's platitudes about the Islamic Community as political support for Željko Komšić. 

The seemingly minor Sabljo is not only a promoter of anti-Muslim and anti-Bosnian interests, but is an open advocate of the story about BiH Muslims as some kind of terrorist tribe. Last March, his HWC wrote a letter to the US Congress presenting a host of absurdities and portraying Bosnia and Herzegovina as an oasis of radical Islam and the Taliban. 

"As one of the threats to Croats, especially Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina as the smallest of the three national groups that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina, which constitutes a total of 15% of the population of that country, we recognize Islamist terrorism that has been present in that country since the 1990s," stated the HWC letter to Congress. It was yet another in a series of Serbian-Croatian attempts to portray Bosniaks, Muslims, and their political leadership as terrorists and Bosnia and Herzegovina as impossible due to such phenomena. Sabljo, presumably like Dodik, hopes that a lie repeated a thousand times will one day become truth. 

Just as he hopes that denying crimes and international verdicts will change what international law has established beyond reasonable doubt. Any similarity with Milorad Dodik on this issue is neither accidental nor benign. 

And the head of the HWC, commenting on the verdict for the Croatian six for the UZP in Dodik's style, said: "Where verdicts are rendered based on injustice, without clear facts and solely in favor of certain political goals, we do not recognize such a tribunal, on the contrary, we condemn it. While hordes of mujahideen were ravaging Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the international community pretended to see nothing, today in that same BiH we have a caliphate from which ISIL fighters operate around the world, while Croats are disenfranchised and are persecuted and convicted." 

So, Sabljo and Dodik share the same views on the Hague Tribunal and its verdicts, ignoring that these are also verdicts for crimes against their own compatriots. 

On this matrix, Sabljo, like Dodik, tried to crown his fascism with a political position, but 91 votes for the Croatian Parliament were too few. It should be noted that Sabljo was born near Posušje and ran on the HDZ list, in the electoral unit for BiH, but BiH Croats obviously do not consider him worthy of their vote. 

In Čović's style, Sabljo once proposed the cantonization of BiH to the Presidency, sued directors of films about Ustasha crimes, and condemned all those in Croatia who dare to say anything against the Ustasha salute "Za dom spremni". 

And no matter how minor he is, Sabljo and his HWC, as well as others, should not be taken lightly, because the right-wing center is spreading across Europe. Orban was once a benign leader of a small Hungary, and today he is a role model and leader for almost all Sabljos across Europe. And Dodik was once minor, and today he is a puppet on strings dancing for the interests of European right-wingers, Vladimir Putin, and Aleksandar Vučić. 

And European right-wingers are increasingly united in hatred and intolerance towards BiH Muslims, for whom an evil fate is being prepared again. They find fertile ground in the disunity of the system of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the possibility of manipulating the population in the still occupied territories of BiH - the RS entity and the area of the former Herceg-Bosna. 

Someone would have to react, and if it is possible that in some municipalities a member of the BiH Presidency is declared "non-grata", it should also be possible to ban promoters of fascism, chauvinism, and racism from coming and any activity in BiH. 

When they grow up, it will be too late.
