High Representative Christian Schmidt’s decision is a scandalous suspension of the Constitution of the Federation and all democratic principles, to which no one, not even the High Representative, has the right – announced the Party of Democratic Action (SDA).
According to their assessment, the intention to censor the unconstitutional Government of the Federation from certain embassies and the OHR, while completely bypassing the Vice-President of the FBiH from among the Bosniak people and the majority will of the Bosniak Club in the House of Peoples of the FBiH Parliament, is a humiliating precedent, the consequences of which no one can predict.
“Apart from the vice-president from among the Bosniak people and the Bosniak Caucus, the convincing majority will of the pro-Bosnian parties, which have at least 47 representatives in the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament, is being ignored. With the newly imposed decision, the HDZ is once again facing the HDZ, which in this way wants to be enabled to form a government with a minority group of political collaborators from the Troika, which has 28 representatives and a few bought hands,” the SDA stated in a press release.
By justifying the decision at today’s press conference, in which he claims that he does not act against any people, that the will of the voters expressed in the elections must not be ignored and that he makes the decision because there was no agreement, the High Representative, according to the SDA, insults the intelligence of the citizens. Because he did the exact opposite. He grossly degraded the will of the Bosniaks, completely ignored the electoral will of the citizens and rewarded those who refused any agreement.
“We demand from Christian Schmidt to explain to the Bosnian and the world public whether his decision was again agreed with the Prime Minister of the Croatian government, and whether it was based on ‘Christian values and foundations’ – as the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke about it,” that is, whether the majority it annuls the will of the Bosniaks because they are mostly Muslims – states the SDA in a press release.
