Communicologist Belma Buljubašić from the Faculty of Political Sciences in Sarajevo said that Željko Komšić was elected mainly by Bosniaks, that pro-Bosnian parties are Bosniak’s parties, and that there is no genuinely left-wing party in BiH.
“So-called. pro-Bosnian forces operate exclusively in the Federation of BiH. In the part where Bosniaks are the majority. There are almost none of them in the region of FBiH, where the majority is made up of the Croatian people, just as there are none in Republika Srpska.
Serbs and Croats see so-called “pro-Bosnian politics” exclusively as Bosniak politics, which is essentially true. Because SDA is not ‘pro-Bosnian” but ProBosniak party. And what the other two nations see as Bosniak unitarism, where Bosniaks would outvote them in every issue on which they disagree. “, said Belma Buljubašić for N1 TV. As one example of disagreement in BiH, Buljubasic states that the so-called “pro-Bosnian” parties take March 1 as the critical date, i.e., Independence Day, which is celebrated only in the Federation, while it is clear that the “the Serbian side” will never recognize that date.
“As you can see, they consider it one of the key reasons why the war started, because as a nation they are outvoted.
Also, Croats are indifferent to this date.
Euphoria and celebration are present only among Bosniaks. I am sincerely interested in how they intend to convince the Serbian and Croatian people of their good intentions and how they see BiH as a whole if they impose on someone something that is clear that they will not accept.
On the other hand, Croats have a serious problem with the election of Željko Komšić, who was elected mainly by Bosniaks, which is a completely justified anger.
And those who celebrate the elections of Komsic know that, because it would be identical for other people to elect a representative for them “, said this communicology expert from the University of Sarajevo, emphasizing that, in the actual crisis, the public in Republika Srpska should not be left out.
Through the years, they distanced themselves from any idea of BiH as a common state:
“They are only interested in RS, they blame ‘political Sarajevo’ for all the problems, they are threatening to secede, and what is noticeable is that the government and the opposition in the Republika Srpska entity have identical rhetoric,” and added that this is exactly what the citizens in the entity The FBiH often emphasizes, but does not see, a similar thing happening in this part of the country: that both the government and the opposition agree on crucial issues that do not suit all peoples.
“I want to say that everyone here sticks to their positions and narratives. I do not see that there is a desire for any agreement.
I also see the problem in this: BIH never had a left-wing party, which is genuinely left-wing and would overcome all the events of the war and operate at the level of the whole of BiH.
The so-called left parties act only entity and fully adopt the dominant nationalist narrative of the center, which shows all their futility and opportunism as they fight for the voters.
A true left-wing party would certainly not get a large number of votes. However, it would show that there is still a certain percentage of people who are for some different ideas and who care about the future of this country and solutions that would suit everyone and not hurt anyone. instilled at least a glimmer of hope, because what we have been living for 26 years is a conflict, only without armed struggles “, explained Buljubašić. / HMS /
