”If we go back a few years and recall what statements from official Zagreb came about Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), we will conclude that the neighboring country is full of Islamist terrorists who are just waiting for the moment to attack Croatia. Of course, provided that we believe what official Zagreb says about BiH, ” writes index.hr.
Milanovic started insulting BiH…
“We are dealing with the bad guys,” Milanovic told, adding that BiH is “a country without any order.”
Kolinda continued
In December 2016, Kolinda stated that all should face the fact that from the so-called Islamic states, “thousands of fighters” are returning to BiH. She also mentioned that there are “10.000 Islamist terrorists” in BiH.
The head of the Jewish community, Jakob Finci, also said that it was completely clear to everyone living in BiH that the Croatian president had mixed up the facts and that Grabar-Kitarovic was talking about something that was absolutely not true. When numerous violent reactions came from BiH that the number was overstated and exaggerated, Kolinda began to falter.
Kolinda’s faltering
“We will not argue through the media and about numbers, these are too serious topics for the security of Croatia and BiH. One person is enough to create a problem,” Grabar-Kitarovic explained when asked by reporters to comment on various data on the number of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters in BiH.
Religious radicalization also took place in Croatia
Also, in Croatia, around the same time, Catholicism was radicalized and its more rigid version promoted, which is best seen in the activities of associations such as Vigilare and In the Name of the Family (with which Kolinda worked well during her term), as well as open the hatred that thousands of Catholic Croats express towards Pope Francis, whom they consider a Masonic agent and Satan.
Kolinda’s anti-Muslim views have become such a problem that Reis Husein Kavazovic addressed her in 2017, asking her to clarify her statements that Bosniaks are a terrorist threat to neighboring countries and Europe.
Kolinda’s letter to Reis Kavazovic
In her letter to Kavazovic, Grabar-Kitarovic wrote that she did not say a word against Muslims, Bosniaks, or BiH, and expressed regret that one part of the public in BiH had been campaigning against her for months, and addressed in her written response to Kavazovic: ”Guided by the motive that this should never happen again to anyone, and at the same time with the obligation to protect the state and national interests of the Republic of Croatia and all its citizens regardless of religion and nation, it is my duty to warn of all political – not religious, but political processes that cause anxiety and concern, regardless of where they took place, especially if this is our part of Europe.”
The problem of the BiH election law
”Political conditions in BiH continue to be marked by internal political instability caused primarily by differing views of the constituent peoples on the future constitutional order of BiH, especially the issue of further centralization of the state, foreign policy priorities, and the unresolved issue of constitutionally guaranteed equality of constituent peoples. Continuing tendencies to gradually abolish the basic principles of the Dayton Peace Agreement, such as diminishing the constitutional rights of Croats in BiH, could negatively affect the position of Croats as the smallest people in BiH, political stability, and interethnic balance within BiH, as well as reduce the democratic legitimacy of BiH,” it was explained in the conclusion of the Croatian Intelligence Agency.
The goal was to justify Croatia’s meddling in BiH’s internal affairs
What was the purpose of official Zagreb’s narrative of BiH as a hotbed of Islamist terrorism? Probably in order to further justify Croatia’s meddling in BiH’s internal affairs, which is now finally being addressed in the Election Law issue, which of course has nothing to do with Islamist terrorism.
So, what happened to the 10.000 Islamist terrorists in BiH from five years ago, where did they go? The answer is that they have never been there, but BiH has been exposed to slander by the Croatian state leadership.
