Federal Minister of Internal Affairs Ramo Isak believes that organizing protests on inter-entity borders, as called for by some organizations from Republika Srpska (RS), is not a good idea.
“These protests are not due to citizens’ dissatisfaction, but due to political conflict, and by calling for protests on inter-entity borders, they are trying to create unrest among citizens. There is no need for that. If someone wants to protest, they have institutions in front of which they can do it. Let them legally announce these protests, let them get consent and they can do it,” said Minister Isak in Mostar after the session of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH).
He added that according to the information he has, no one has consented to the announced protests and, according to him, they are illegal.
When asked by a journalist to comment on the resignation of Arnel Isak, his son, from the position of vice-chairman of the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament, and the transfer of that position to Kenan Uzunovic, Ramo Isak said that it was a political agreement within the Caucus of Representatives.
“The Caucus consisting of Arnel Isak, Kenan Uznovic, and Elzina Piric got that position. Arnel Isak was proposed by the Caucus, he had the support of the parliamentary majority, that was not in doubt, but simply, they agreed on something else, they work together in the Caucus, and they make decisions. Due to the assumption of certain obligations related to the formation of the party Zajedno za narod (Together for the People party), which is currently present in the entire territory of BiH, Arnel proposed Mr. Kenan Uzunovic to be vice-chairman and that, God willing, this will happen at the first session when all legal requirements are met,” Isak stated.
He also referred to the articles of certain portals about the jobs that his security company received in public tenders, saying that his wife is the owner of that company and that the company has been engaged in security for 20 years.
According to him, these are “commissioned articles” that began to appear in public after he, as Minister of Internal Affairs, “declared war on criminal groups”.
“I am ready to answer for everything that I do. I would ask the portal that writes these things (what they state is a criminal offense) to go to the prosecutor’s office to report me so that I can sue them for false reporting so that we are done with it,” Minister Isak concluded.
