Where the party ends and the country begins: Are there any pilots in the airplane?!

Commentary by Sead Omeragic

Regular folks probably don't understand what so called proBosnian parties want other than power. It is clear, however, what Covic and Dodik want. HDZ was the bearer of European 'values' from 1941 – 1945. There are also Dodik's revivers of the same 'values', deniers of Srebrenica genocide, of their own country and everything that resembles BiH.  

I once wrote that the Croats have one party and one politics, the Serbs have two parties and once politics. However, there are 30-ish parliamentary parties and equally many politics on this larger Bosniak territory. That's where the roots of catastrophe are hidden.

A good deal of courage and smarts are required to save and build this country. Do our parties have enough of the courage and brains? Do they have anything in common other than the country where they work? Their Sarajevo offices are situated within 100 meters range. Within that circle, sparks fly, conflicts rage, debates never stop as well as their pathetic fights.  

Their duels are regular ideological stories, cheap personal rifts, and pathetic verbal clashes without concrete and innovative proposed solutions for getting out of this chaos.

The famous Margaret Thatcher once said: 'The only politics is personnel politics.' Bad political selection of human resources of many years has caused tragedies in all BH nations. Today, on all three sides it looks as if the airplane full of pilots is flown by the worst among them.

Do we need to read their pages to have this confirmed? It is a chaos, illiteracy, painful ignorance and superficiality to the point of primitivism. However, they behave as if they don't need anyone else – they are enough. Where does their party end, and where does their country begin?

Their leaders are, by and large, uninventive and incompetent, and that's what they have in common. Their HQ's in Sarajevo haven't been able to take a joint stance towards denying Srebrenica genocide for years. Also, we haven't seen their joint stance towards the NATO accession. Or the Strasbourg verdicts, from 'Sejdic-Finci' case to 'Azra Zornic' and 'Ilijas Pilav'. There are the verdicts from Strasbourg and some would still like to negotiate with Covic on nationalist changes to the Electoral law of BiH.

And the hardest part of all, which has the stench of a catastrophe: The refugees arriving in that third of the country as a tsunami, our towns already overcrowded with those poor people. Greece is rushing to empty their refugee centers, there are no longer any refugees in North Macedonian centers. They came from Serbia and Montenegro. They abuse and beat them, and push hard from the RS to the Federation, where the Bosniak majority lives. From Tuzla to Sarajevo and Bihac. Which is undoubtedly a result of recent agreement among Greece, North Macedonia and Serbia.

Evidently there are two ongoing (previously seen) greater-state strategies at work, which include throwing these miserables into BiH and locking the Croatian border. There hasn't been any adequate reaction by our executive powers and the problem is likely to escalate with the first snow to the point of a humanitarian catastrophe. It will be a tremendous embarrassment for BiH, coupled with protests and unrest caused by the migrants.

At the same time, our political bone loafers in the government and their egocentric parties, still seem to be ready for endless debates, not needing anyone else. Nobody told them as yet that they are no longer important but their political organization which should solve problems in this country, such as the problem of migrants which requires huge and thorough efforts.

Do any of them see where this is taking us? If there is any light at the end of their party tunnels and their brains? The refugee crisis becomes an example of incompetence for any kind of action or agreement of the political lazies within the Bosniak majority.

There's no doubt that any more serious crisis, as is the migrant crisis, all the criminals and crimes of the political parties will surface. All the insatiability and greed of our national elite and quasi patriots will emerge. A painful awakening awaits, after long empty and frivolous political life on this one-third of BiH.
