Criminals Punished, Effects to Be Certified: Bosnia as a Battlefield of Russian and Western Normality!

By: Muharem Cero

A wide range of coordinated actions by official Belgrade, embodied by Aleksandar Vučić, and the Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity of Republika Srpska, embodied by the notorious Milorad Dodik, always and persistently have only one unchanged goal.

It is to accept the individual responsibilities of The Hague with as few collective consequences as possible, to distance them from institutions in both Serbia and the RS entity if possible, and to thwart the possibility in the agenda of eliminating the consequences of convicted aggressive crimes and genocide, and to accept the character of war against BiH and keep it at the "Dayton neutral definition of an unfortunate conflict in the region" (nothing more than a civil war).

Ultimately, to punish the crimes and criminals, and preferably to certify the effects, to give them, as Lavrov says, the character of a new normality, and to force acclimatization to it.

Almost unchanged, with small occasional adjustments to the current context, is the policy of action of the PYROMANIACS AND FIREMEN. Simply put, Dodik kerosene-ignites the political structure of emerging Bosnian statehood always with only one narrative - RS is a state, and Bosnia and Herzegovina is an unsustainable experiment of the international community, so it should disappear in that fire.

A fireman aware of his Dayton position/side and faced with the possibility of moving away from the set goals, but with the intention of lasting frequency of produced crises, convinced that every fire is also his opportunity for a small step in his intention.

This is how it should be this time too, at the scheduled meeting between the High Representative for BiH Christian Schmidt and the duty fireman in Belgrade.

In preparation for the agreed meeting, while appearing on a Serbian television, Vučić somewhat carelessly, which is not characteristic of him, revealed his expectations from that meeting.

“The situation is complicated, politically heated, and when you talk about the Dayton Agreement and that Dodik is violating it, I ask you, did Dodik violate it regarding property or someone else, just show me, did Dodik violate it? Show me that article of the Dayton Agreement regarding property that Dodik violated, I will ask Schmidt and others soon, and I know what I asked him last time. Just show me, I am illiterate, stupid, show me in writing where it says that,” Vučić said at a press conference.

It would be right for the asked person to answer the question. And if I were asked, instead of Schmidt and others invited to speak, I would tell him that the issue of state property confirms the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and state subjectivity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as all states formed by the dissolution of Yugoslavia, which has been institutionally confirmed by all signatories of the International Agreement on Succession of SFRY, explicitly in its Article 1 "five equally sovereign states" are parties to the agreement. Serbia is among the signatories of the agreement.

No matter how much, unfortunately, the Dayton parties Serbia and Croatia, in not accepting the equal state sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina in their daily political actions, and even in the implementation of the International Agreement on Succession itself, these acts cannot withstand the content of the assumed obligations.

Bosnian-Herzegovinian entities are certainly not and cannot be successors of SFRY, which would be to the liking of the pyromaniac and fireman, but only and exclusively the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And as the co-creator of the Dayton Peace Agreement James O’Brien explained during his last visit.

Interpreting the issue of state property, the Constitutional Court Decision U-1/11, under the principle of continuity of statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina, precisely recognized the content of the succession agreement, and challenged any attempt at unilateral, legally violent expropriation of the state in favor of the entities and obliged only and exclusively state institutions (Parliament of BiH) to continue to legally regulate the issue of state property within the newly formed constitutional structure of the Dayton Peace Agreement.

Any dispute of these constitutional facts is nothing more than a criminal offense of non-implementation of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of BiH.

It is possible that the High Representative Schimdt will provide a diplomatic gloss to Vučić's inquiry, but the content of his answer should not deviate from the proclaimed principle of the rule of law and the legal state guaranteed to Bosnia. Anything else would be to satisfy the goals we have written about, which would encourage persistence in further new ones, and allow the Russian new normality to enter the Balkans with open doors, and the promised European new normality for Bosnia to become just an unattainable dream.
