Press Release on the occasion of responsibility for the announcement of the imposition of changes to the BiH Election Law and the FBiH Constitution by the High Representative in BiH
The responsibility for the serious and justified disturbance of the public due to the announcement of the imposition of changes to the Election Law of BiH and the Constitution of the Federation of BiH by the High Representative Christian Schmidt is directly borne by the so-called the pro-Bosnian parties from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which in all previous negotiations on the amendment of the Election Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Constitution of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, instead of responsible state policy, openly presented pernicious political rhetoric, shaming citizens in front of representatives of the international community, which resulted in the fact that decisions about the essential interests of Bosnia and Herzegovina are made by High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, instead of the domestic authorities.
It is evident that the public is being misled in order to divert attention from responsibility of the so-called pro-Bosnian parties (SDA, SDP, DF, SBB, NŠ, NIP and others) and an attempt to transfer their political burden to the citizens, because they are the quasi-representatives of the people and citizens that with their inaction, foiling and blackmailing during the negotiations and abandoning the negotiations on changes to the Electoral law in BiH and the Constitution of the Federation of BiH, led to the fact that now the High Representative in BiH is solving this extremely complex issue, regardless of what the decision will be.
Evidence of immoral intent of so-called pro-Bosnian parties is also in trying to mislead the public that the OHR, i.e. the High Representative in BiH, does not have the authority to change the Constitution of the Federation of BiH, because by allowing the previous high representatives to change the Constitution of the FBiH, the modus operandi, i.e. the “former way of acting” of the high representatives in BiH, was de facto legitimized from which Schmidt uses the right to amend not only the BiH Election Law but also the FBiH Constitution.
When on April 19, 2002, Wolfgang Petritsch, and on April 2, 2003 and December 12, 2005, Paddy Ashdown made changes to the FBiH Constitution, where they did extensive changes that dealt with numerous issues that are now solved, none of the elected officials had the courage and political wisdom to oppose that decision, and by agreeing to such a precedent they provided the possibility of changes to the FBiH Constitution in the future as well. The only politician who opposed imposing changes to the FBiH Constitution at the time was Mirnes Ajanović, warning that this would open up the possibility of other changes that could be extremely problematic, which just today proved to be a consequence of subordinate and self-interested actions of position and the so-called opposition.
Today, no extralegal wisdom will be useful to anyone, because the so-called civil parties sold out to national parties and brought all of us and the country to a breaking point where foreigners decide our fate, all because of the previous anti-Bosnian policy and hiding behind foreigners.
