“You are not competent to represent the views of Bosnia and Herzegovina”, said the Chairperson of the Presidency of BiH Željka Cvijanović to Presidency member Denis Bećirović.
Cvijanović said that the Presidency of BiH is competent for this, and only when the position contains the votes of all three members of the Presidency.
“Also, Bećirović is neither competent nor invited to interpret the positions of Republika Srpska, and the institutions and citizens of Republika Srpska, which makes up 49 percent of the territory of BiH, feel threatened by the constant efforts of political Sarajevo to privatize the joint institutions of BiH and to impose the positions and wishes of Bosniak politicians on representatives of other peoples,” said Cvijanović.
When asked by news agency to comment on Bećirović’s statement in which, among other things, he stated that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić was not competent to interpret the laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cvijanović replied that it was “infinitely pathetic that on a day when Serbia and Republika Srpska commemorate the suffering of hundreds of thousands of victims in the Jasenovac death factory, the majority of whom were Serbs, a Bosniak member of the BiH Presidency, as one of three, thinks he has the right to comment on the position of Republika Srpska, while the President of Republika Srpska or the President of Serbia do not have the right to do so.”
“This is another example of who is stifling BiH,” added Cvijanović.
