The President of the SDP BiH, Nermin Niksic, sent a letter to the member of the BiH Presidency, Milorad Dodik, regarding his views on the high representative, human rights and constitutional categories.
At the beginning of the letter, Niksic pointed out that Dodik, referring to the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, does not offer a single provision that would support his dominant argument.
“To begin with, allow me to point out that it is not good to misrepresent yourself. Namely, the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina does not recognize the function of a ‘Serbian member of the Presidency’ of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” said Niksic.
In his letter to Dodik, the president of the SDP states that they share the same point of view that it is most desirable for the state to have functional institutions that do their work in the interest of the citizens, and that it is their work at all levels that can show that BiH can survive without international arbitration, which manifests itself through institution of the high representative.
“Unfortunately, the blockade of the state and its institutions during the time of the current SDA-SNSD-HDZ government is the best proof that the institution of a high representative in BiH is badly needed. the issue of human rights and genocide in Srebrenica, the overthrow of the constitutional order… are only some of the evidence of the need for the existence and active action of the institution of the high representative,” emphasized Niksic.
With a series of arguments, he substantiated the legitimacy of the high representative in the letter.
“Dodik, I cannot agree and I consider your statement that the actions of the high representative of BiH make it an ‘unsovereign, inefficient quasi-state’. BiH is a sovereign state, despite the constant denial of its sovereignty from within and by the highest officials of the neighboring states of Serbia and Croatia. A large part of the ‘invoice’ for the dysfunctionality of our state should be paid to these states, along with domestic destroyers of the legal order,” is part of Nikšić’s letter addressed to Dodik, Klix.ba reports.
