The recent statement by Nermin Nikšić, leader of the SDP BiH, following the meeting of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC), was not a routine political address. It was a carefully crafted message — directed both at the international community and at the domestic public, particularly the Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The most dangerous part of that message for Croats is not what was openly said, but what was implied between the lines.
First layer: shifting the pressure to the Croats.
Nikšić’s phrase “It’s not fair to pass the hot potato to the opposition from RS” sounds conciliatory on the surface.
But in essence, it marks a new pressure matrix.
If the “hot potato” — meaning the imposition of changes to the Electoral Law — is not the task of the RS opposition, then it is clear where the pressure will be applied: the Federation, and specifically the Croat political position within it.
In other words: thank you to the RS opposition for leaving the question of disciplining the Croats primarily in Bosniak hands.
This signals a new political alliance: parties opposed to Dodik, aligned with Bosniak parties opposed to Croat interests — all of them still operating under the shadow of SDA’s entrenched deep state.
In practical terms: SDA continues to shape the so-called European path for BiH — now more covertly, through the Troika coalition, through “constructive dialogue,” and through a carefully staged “compromise” that is, in reality, a pathway to imposing an Islamist-tinged political agenda under an EU label.
Second layer: shifting responsibility — to set the stage for blame.
Nikšić’s statement “Responsibility is on us, primarily on the Troika, especially the SDP” may sound democratic and responsible.
But in reality, it pre-legitimizes the coming pressure.
By framing the Troika as the “responsible partner,” the international community is being prepared to cast anyone outside this narrative — meaning the Croats — as obstructionists.
This is not dialogue. It is political conditioning.
Third layer: a coercive “compromise.”
Nikšić’s assertion “We are ready for compromise, but compromise does not mean giving up on principles” is diplomatic code.
His “principles” are clear:
-
A unitary civic model for BiH,
-
One person, one vote,
-
The elimination of constitutional protections for Croat collective political rights.
In this framework, “compromise” simply means that Croats are expected to yield, while the Troika preserves its ideological goals.
This is not negotiation — it is the slow tightening of the noose.
Fourth layer: the EU accession blackmail.
The statement “We can unblock the EU path without a new Electoral Law” is particularly dangerous.
It signals that EU integration will now be used as a lever — or rather, a weapon — of political extortion.
If Croats do not accept this “compromise,” they will be publicly blamed for obstructing the European path.
This narrative has been meticulously constructed for years by elements within the international community and the Bosniak political establishment.
Now, Nikšić is giving it semi-official voice.
THE NOOSE TIGHTENS
The RS opposition, let us be clear, had a historic opportunity.
It could have positioned itself as an indispensable ally to the Croats at this critical juncture.
It could have jointly conditioned electoral reform with the Croat side.
It could have removed this “toy” from Dodik’s hands and publicly declared: “Croat rights are also our rights.”
But someone gave them a signal.
They were told: “You will be in power even without that alliance.”
And this points to one thing:
There is a plan.
A plan in which the OHR, in coordination with segments of the international community and the Bosniak political establishment, will attempt to install a new political platform — one tailored to the so-called “civic” BiH, dictated by Bosniak political elites.
Croats are now expected — for the third time — to watch their own political humiliation, their own exclusion, engineered under the aegis of SDA.
And SDA’s current position?
Perfect.
With Elmedin Konaković — the soft “civic” face of Bosniak nationalism — playing the role of “constructive opposition,” tasked with completing SDA’s long-sought political goals:
To transform the Federation into a mirror image of Republika Srpska — but under EU branding, with NGO language and the blessing of Brussels.
And among the Croats, of course, new collaborators will be found — as always.
The noose is never tightened without helping hands.
And such hands are never in short supply.
A HISTORIC TURN
And let us be honest — perhaps what is coming is, paradoxically, a good scenario for the Croats.
In this new phase, HDZ BiH will no longer have the luxury of pretending to be the polite gentlemen of Vienna.
They will no longer be able to parade through the corridors of Brussels as the well-behaved partners of the “European future,” while a noose is being tightened around their political existence.
They will be forced — finally — to play the game of sovereignty.
Perhaps not with an army.
Perhaps not with a police force.
But with the only force that still counts in this country — popular support.
And with sufficient resolve to cause discomfort for Brussels’ colonial envoys, who have once again, in tragicomic historical irony, aligned themselves with Islamist factions in BiH — this time under an EU logo, applauded by their think tanks.
Because when there are no more choices — that is, in fact, the best situation.
When all is exposed, when masks fall, when everyone’s position is clear — the fight becomes cleaner.
Without illusions.
Without salon compromises.
Without false friends.
PREPARE YOURSELVES
From the old delusion that we would topple Communists together with the British and the Allies, we have finally returned to the reality of 1878.
Today, as then, we will once again, together with Serb insurgents, resist a new version of the Austro-Hungarian annexation.
Because what is now being imposed in BiH under the guise of the “international community,” the “European path,” and “reforms” — is nothing more than a new annexation, this time for the interests of Turkey, not Vienna or the old Istanbul.
And we do have our modern-day Ljubibratić.
His name is Milorad Dodik.
We need not love him.
We need not sing his praises.
But it is enough to recognize a strategic ally in a time of necessity.
And the question now hangs in the air:
Will Dragan Čović have the strength to assume the role of Don Ivan Musić — or will this time produce a new Don Ivan, one who will not hesitate when the moment for resistance comes?
Because Don Ivans of this era already exist.
Who they are — time will reveal.
But one thing is certain:
Brothers, prepare for resistance.
Not for salon negotiations.
Not for new “compromises.”
The day of our freedom is approaching.
A freedom that will be won in the streets, with strength, with determination.
Because there is no more room for negotiations with the occupation forces of the OHR.
And it will be lively.
And their mothers, when they are called to comfort them, will curse the day they enrolled them in political science and social studies.
Because when the people rise — neither the OHR, nor Brussels, nor Komšić’s mentors will be able to stop them.
FINAL WORD
We also urge the leadership of HDZ BiH to stop repeating the narrative that “we are the guardians of the European path” and “the key to preserving BiH.”
If, after all this, you still do not see what we are — bargaining chips for Islamist frustrations, pawns in the careers of Mate Granić and Andrej Plenković — then at least have the decency to be silent.
Because your children are already laughing at you.
And they will not forgive you for leaving them without a homeland — in the name of empty phrases that even they no longer believe.
And to the so-called opposition of BiH Croats — be silent as well.
You are unserious, pre-sold, and already laughable.
And these are serious times that demand serious responses.
Shutting yourselves down would be your greatest contribution.
We await the redefinition of Croat politics in BiH.
A declaration of political war on the OHR.
An abandonment of the satanic cult of the “European path.”
And a turning towards ourselves.
Towards our people.
Alongside partners who respect us.
Now it is clear: the Troika was a Trojan Horse.
And it is time to raise anchors — and raise the people.
Alba gu bràth!
