Russia does not influence the decision-making processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, considering that it should be the sovereign work of the country’s authorities, unlike Western embassies, which by interfering in the work of both institutions and individual politicians, constantly threatening and manipulating, poison the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina with its malignant miasmas, it was announced from the embassy of the Russian Federation in Bosnia and Herzegovina today.
The Russian Embassy states that they could not bypass the sentence in the message of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Council of Ministers, Elmedin Konaković, addressed to several of his colleagues in the countries of Eastern Europe in connection with the decision of the Council of Ministers to deny the citizens of those countries the opportunity to vote on the territory of BiH in the upcoming elections for the European parliament.
“According to the “belief” of Konaković, the decision of the SNSD representative in the Council of Ministers was influenced by the famous “malign Russian influence,” which, according to the minister’s observations, is growing every day,” the embassy stated, adding that there was a complete absence of logic in that statement.
The embassy asks how Russia’s influence can be “malignant” for the members and leadership of SNSD, which advocates for the development of mutually beneficial and constructive relations with the Russian Federation?
The press release points out that the sentence from Konaković’s message only testifies to the desire to falsely shift the blame for the resulting atmosphere onto someone else using primitive Western Russophobic clichés.
“It is a confirmation of one’s own impotence to establish a constructive dialogue with coalition partners in the interest of each of the constituent peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” said the embassy of the Russian Federation.
In the second round of voting, the Council of Ministers did not reach the necessary consensus for organizing the voting of citizens of Poland, Slovenia and Romania residing on the territory of BiH, in the elections for the European Parliament, and in the elections in Romania for local public administration bodies in 2024.
