[00:00:00] statements again, all those increasingly frequent announcements about the third electoral
[00:00:03] unit precisely in this period before the elections
[00:00:06] themselves?
[00:00:09] Uh, exactly that last sentence of yours, that before the elections
[00:00:12] some unrealistic stories intensify in which those who
[00:00:15] have no mind, have no way to justify their four-year
[00:00:19] work, mostly flee to that zone of escalation or
[00:00:22] confrontation, announcing some things that cannot
[00:00:26] and will not happen in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is no third entity, there are no new electoral units,
[00:00:30] we can talk about everything, precisely because of that, we
[00:00:33] held a big conference, institutionally showed
[00:00:36] with numbers the real situation on the ground and proved that
[00:00:40] indeed the only people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, if we are talking about positions
[00:00:43] who suffer, this is the Bosniak people, so dozens,
[00:00:47] maybe hundreds of positions which at the expense of Bosniaks
[00:00:50] are consumed by other mainly Croats, I see that it actually
[00:00:53] echoed and it should have echoed, this in circles and
[00:00:56] in Zagreb in circles of HDZ I have not heard
[00:01:00] adequate answers from them, they want to continue fighting, we are not fighting, there has
[00:01:04] never been a lenient policy towards Zagreb, such a narrative was created
[00:01:07] by those who actually, now with HDZ in
[00:01:11] SBK have a government in which they gave the majority to HDZ, in which they
[00:01:14] transferred powers to Kordić in Mostar, and now they are complaining that
[00:01:18] Kordić is abusing those powers, so there was a correct relationship with Zagreb,
[00:01:21] we should speak the truth, we speak it pragmatically, when Zagreb
[00:01:24] is correct as it was in the case of our European path. When
[00:01:28] Plenković brings Ursula von der Leyen and Rutte by the hand, and whose
[00:01:32] parliament then voted on support for Bosnia and Herzegovina, when
[00:01:35] we together solve the problem when, for example, the question of some
[00:01:39] drivers under the law on foreigners, these are good things, we then react very
[00:01:42] well or correctly, when they again interfere in a rude
[00:01:46] way as they did now, we react
[00:01:49] adequately, so there was never a lenient policy, there was a correct
[00:01:52] policy that gave results in the first year
[00:01:55] of our mandate, but also in some other cases.
[00:01:59] somehow after your reaction the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:02:03] of Croatia reacted again, stating that it was actually about
[00:02:07] Bosniak hysteria, how do you comment on where the line
[00:02:10] is actually between good neighborly relations and interference in
[00:02:13] the internal affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, why do we always talk about
[00:02:17] those statements of the Croatian Foreign Minister, especially now when
[00:02:20] the issue of the election law of Bosnia and
[00:02:24] Herzegovina is the
[00:02:26] topic?
[00:02:28] Well, he is one of the political actors, many reacted to this topic, before
[00:02:32] that we had some unpleasant messages, bad messages
[00:02:35] from Zagreb, drawing some maps, meetings of some
[00:02:39] radicals who were calling for some more radical
[00:02:42] solutions, so this is still a resolution in the parliament that infringes
[00:02:46] on the territorial, in fact, on the sovereignty of Bosnia and
[00:02:48] Herzegovina. Croatia naturally has the right to care for
[00:02:52] Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just as Serbia has the right to care for
[00:02:56] Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just as I, as a Bosniak, care about
[00:02:59] Bosniak nations in the region, but nevertheless, sovereignty is a red
[00:03:02] line, it is not crossed, let them not interfere in our internal affairs, there are
[00:03:06] enough of us, I hope there is reason and wisdom for such matters to be
[00:03:10] resolved in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and only there can they happen
[00:03:13] and be resolved, we value our neighbors and neighbors and
[00:03:17] partners and the international community, but an agreement can ultimately be reached
[00:03:21] only within Bosnia and Herzegovina, so I once
[00:03:24] reacted, I don't have much time and I don't want to do what people are
[00:03:28] used to doing, to now throw
[00:03:30] the ball to others for us to speak inflammatory languages while
[00:03:33] people are leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina, I must react
[00:03:37] when there is truly a need for it, but the focus and
[00:03:40] priority of our political action, the economy, is the fight against
[00:03:44] corruption, how to keep people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, here
[00:03:47] are Croats who massively left our country, fled from those
[00:03:50] policies of legitimate representation of all
[00:03:53] other hot topics and today they work in other
[00:03:56] countries, unfortunately they are not in their homes. How do you generally
[00:04:00] view, you mentioned that resolution and the session of the Croatian
[00:04:04] Parliament, how do you view it, the discussion itself
[00:04:07] that we witnessed, everything we heard,
[00:04:11] why was there even a need for the Croatian Parliament
[00:04:15] to consider this issue, how do you interpret it, what
[00:04:19] is, what is the underlying goal of that very
[00:04:22] session of the Croatian Parliament?
[00:04:26] Well, that idea also came from these right-wing, let's say, right-wing circles.
[00:04:30] who mostly, these are the populists who uh cannot answer
[00:04:34] the challenges of their society, cannot present concrete
[00:04:37] results of what they should be answering to the citizens, they are part of
[00:04:41] the government, so then they run away to some zones that are interesting to the
[00:04:44] public, they used to call them patriotic, people see that it is no longer
[00:04:48] patriotism, of course the government of Andrej Plenković and he personally and his
[00:04:52] associates have their role in that, you remember the first draft which was
[00:04:56] much more radical, so there was talk about some worse things, this does not
[00:04:59] exonerate Plenković or the government, because in the end they still agreed and
[00:05:03] voted for such a resolution to be in the parliament and HDZ
[00:05:06] voted for such a resolution, it is inappropriate and not good, it is not
[00:05:09] benevolent, we who have spoken many
[00:05:13] times about this issue that needs to be addressed, almost all Bosniak leaders
[00:05:17] including religious leaders, presidents of almost all parties
[00:05:21] in Bosnia and Herzegovina have said that the issue of the Croat
[00:05:24] member of the presidency should be resolved, but that issue is completely
[00:05:28] constitutional, legitimate, legal when we opened topics and raised
[00:05:32] questions about some unconstitutional processes, because our constitution
[00:05:35] says that proportional representation of peoples must be respected
[00:05:39] in relation to the last census, and starting from the Council of Ministers. The Constitutional
[00:05:42] Court, 12 directorial positions at the state level,
[00:05:46] there is too much in favor of Croats at the expense of Bosniaks, then
[00:05:50] these same circles flee, do not come to Sarajevo for such a session, do not
[00:05:53] talk, but again I will repeat, I would want, I would like,
[00:05:56] I will do everything for that to be a part of our political action,
[00:06:00] we will protect Bosnia and Herzegovina of course by all legal
[00:06:03] means, but I call for us to return to discussions about
[00:06:06] the economy, about living conditions, about high prices, about the price of
[00:06:09] fuel, corruption that is still destroying our society, we do not
[00:06:13] have to hide behind those national inflammatory
[00:06:16] rhetorics, we will certainly talk about those other
[00:06:20] topics concerning Bosnia and Herzegovina, but here, while we are still on the topic of the election
[00:06:24] law, how do you generally see solutions for the election law, we constantly talk about
[00:06:28] damaged Croats, you mentioned
[00:06:31] here, and you, damaged Bosniaks, however, we know that
[00:06:34] others somehow remained in the worst political position in Bosnia and
[00:06:38] Herzegovina, is there any hope at all that a solution will be found with this
[00:06:42] constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina?
[00:06:45] I must again return to that famous Neum where I was a participant and
[00:06:49] there we were really close to a correct
[00:06:53] solution in which we are all equally dissatisfied, so
[00:06:57] we said then, I want to remind you of the deletion of the ethnic
[00:07:00] prefix from the presidency and what is very
[00:07:03] important from the House of Peoples, the Parliament
[00:07:06] of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we would have therefore three clubs in which none
[00:07:10] would be called according to the people. Neither Bosniak, nor
[00:07:13] Croat, nor Serb, but all would be Bosniak and Croat
[00:07:16] Serb and other citizens who are not
[00:07:20] members of constituent peoples, so that was very close, a solution
[00:07:23] that was, let's say, modeled after the American
[00:07:27] electoral system, or we have that
[00:07:30] solution again from the "Zapriski paket" in which the members of the presidency
[00:07:34] are elected through the parliament, but I repeat once again, that is not
[00:07:37] the only, for us it is a smaller problem, the bigger problem is
[00:07:40] citizens who are not members of constituent peoples, they have
[00:07:44] no right at all to run for the presidency or for
[00:07:48] the houses of peoples, so that is the judgment of the international court, the European
[00:07:51] Court of Human Rights, that is an obligation from 14 priorities and I return
[00:07:55] to this topic, of course, we cannot talk about one, these
[00:07:59] 50 or more in which Bosniaks, I agree with you, and
[00:08:02] citizens who are not members of constituent peoples in which
[00:08:06] they have no rights and Croats use them, that's not how agreements are made,
[00:08:09] there's no agreement if only one side
[00:08:13] insists on what interests them. Now, let's somehow
[00:08:16] move on to these economic topics, but topics
[00:08:19] of progress for Bosnia and Herzegovina. You gave an interesting interpretation
[00:08:23] for the loss of money from the growth plan,
[00:08:26] you stated yesterday that Milorad Dodik is stealing money from the Republika Srpska,
[00:08:30] and thus from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and sending it to Albania and Montenegro.
[00:08:34] Is there any sense in hoping that we will ever
[00:08:37] get that money and withdraw funds from the growth plan?
[00:08:41] As long as that Russian submarine is in power, that is, as long as
[00:08:45] Dodik is there, as long as he behaves like that, as long as his
[00:08:48] obedient followers, those who follow him blindly as party president, even though he is no longer
[00:08:51] a political figure, I don't see an option for the
[00:08:55] money to be withdrawn, and it's really like this, I saw a large number of
[00:08:59] reactions, first Ana Trišić Babić says no one cares what
[00:09:02] Konaković thinks and says, then Svimi Odumi writes, and
[00:09:05] Cvijanović and Košarac, I see that this nocturnal truth has disturbed
[00:09:09] them, because... "There in Albania, people, according to Dodik, should give
[00:09:12] a name to some school that sprouts up there, he stole money from
[00:09:16] the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one third and more of that
[00:09:20] from the citizens of BiH who live in the BiH entity Republika Srpska and
[00:09:24] transferred it to Albania and Montenegro, because the growth plan looks
[00:09:27] like this: those who do reforms that are stopped in Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:09:31] because of SNSD, they get nothing, that money goes to those who are
[00:09:34] fast, currently the fastest are Albania and Montenegro and that is
[00:09:37] really true, I see today that the public I must say." "sent, I received dozens of
[00:09:41] messages from people living in the BiH entity Republika Srpska,
[00:09:45] Serbs, who asked me to explain in more detail, I explained, such a
[00:09:49] schizophrenic policy, Dodik no longer just puts his hand in his pocket
[00:09:53] for himself, he doesn't take for himself, but this is really so, money that should
[00:09:57] build schools in Teslić in Banja Luka, in Prijedor, in
[00:10:00] Bijeljina in Bosnia and Herzegovina, all over, so Široki Brijeg,
[00:10:04] Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla, he sends to Albania and Montenegro, I don't
[00:10:07] see that this will change as long as these people are
[00:10:11] part of the government.
[00:10:13] Uh, precisely, here, it's an election year,
[00:10:15] a pre-election period,
[00:10:19] you say you don't believe in any improvement as long as, here,
[00:10:22] primarily SNSD is here,
[00:10:25] do you think at all that whoever
[00:10:28] is in power from the Bosniak people, is it
[00:10:32] possible to form and establish a government without SNSD,
[00:10:36] without potentially even HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, how do you see
[00:10:40] the distribution of the situation after
[00:10:42] the elections? Citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:10:46] will decide on that, voters this time, thank
[00:10:49] God for much more democratic and fair elections
[00:10:53] which, you see, the reactions of these large ethnic parties who are bothered
[00:10:56] of course by the fact that it will no longer be possible to bring hundreds or
[00:11:00] thousands of ID cards, insert ballots in the name of
[00:11:03] those who do not live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and even in the name of those who have died
[00:11:07] and passed away, this is a system that I saw disturbed these
[00:11:11] ruling two-decade ruling
[00:11:14] elites here, they are showing justified fear because SNSD
[00:11:18] had a small test in RS when this
[00:11:21] Blanuša won, so they had to steal and barely stole. With a
[00:11:25] difference of a few thousand, Karan wins, and it's interesting, Dodik told us,
[00:11:29] "You will have two Dodiks now," neither Karan nor Dodik are there, so
[00:11:32] formally neither of them seems to exist, it will be
[00:11:36] truly imperative to form a pro-European government in Bosnia
[00:11:39] and Herzegovina, exclusively with the aim of improving the living
[00:11:43] conditions of citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I must constantly
[00:11:46] repeat, people, look at the examples of former Eastern Bloc
[00:11:50] countries, look at Poland which has
[00:11:52] drawn 250 billion euros from funds, from
[00:11:56] its agriculture it has become a world power, today it has
[00:11:59] a strong army, strong military, today people from Germany go to Poland to
[00:12:03] look for work, Bosnia and Herzegovina has that within reach, in
[00:12:06] Republika Srpska there are political parties with whom we will never
[00:12:10] agree on our history and past, but obviously it would be easier
[00:12:14] to agree on the future with the aim of keeping our children here,
[00:12:17] so uh SNSD owned by
[00:12:20] Putin, kamikazes who work for Russians not for Serbs,
[00:12:24] should not in any option be part of the government, HDZ, of course, if it
[00:12:28] insists and defends SNSD is
[00:12:31] ultimate, then everything should be done so that neither of them are there,
[00:12:34] of course it is complex, it is not simple and citizens of Bosnia and
[00:12:37] Herzegovina will decide on that, now that we are already mentioning that post-election
[00:12:40] period, uh, what are your expectations, it is becoming
[00:12:44] increasingly louder about a possible rapprochement with new
[00:12:47] political calculations between SDA and SDP, do you see
[00:12:51] in that an attempt to weaken the Troika, forming new
[00:12:55] blocs, do you even meet with partners from the Troika,
[00:12:58] with the presidents of parties, SDP and
[00:13:01] our party, what are the relations like now?
[00:13:04] What I see, which is completely evident and which is no longer hidden, of course, is what
[00:13:08] we all know, the reunification of the infamous
[00:13:12] Troika, uh SNSD, SDA, and HDZ,
[00:13:15] the president of SDA, Izetbegović, told us, Čović is a fixed point,
[00:13:19] HDZ is a fixed point, we must go with a victory. Indicating that SNSD
[00:13:22] would be a partner if it wins the elections in Republika Srpska, it
[00:13:26] completely relativizes and I can say normalizes, he is preparing
[00:13:29] a scenario as he has already announced, and that is the only
[00:13:33] visible rapprochement that is too dangerous for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:13:37] The Troika has bothered everyone from the beginning, the Troika always has
[00:13:40] internal problems, we have disagreements, misunderstandings,
[00:13:44] we don't look at all processes the same way, but it has been shown,
[00:13:47] proven, a fundamental alternative to this existing
[00:13:50] system. So, within the Troika we had an operational meeting the other day
[00:13:54] in Sarajevo Canton with representatives of all parties,
[00:13:58] some important processes at all levels, they are still happening,
[00:14:01] ongoing, of course in the pre-election period now we are all more concerned with ourselves than
[00:14:04] with other things, I have no dilemma, it's no longer the Troika,
[00:14:08] I said, it's the Fourteen, at least, it's a large number of parties
[00:14:12] that have shown that only this side again has
[00:14:16] coalition capacity, because it has clear goals, because it has clear
[00:14:19] programs, because it has good people and... Of course, I keep repeating, we made
[00:14:23] mistakes, perhaps more than we should have, but that is incomparable to
[00:14:27] those who really did very bad
[00:14:30] things. We will certainly talk about those
[00:14:34] coalitions in this pre-election, but definitely in the
[00:14:37] post-election period, to talk a little more about the present,
[00:14:40] you recently participated in a ministerial meeting in Washington dedicated to
[00:14:44] political terrorism, what messages did Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:14:48] receive from American partners, how much is the stability of the region
[00:14:51] actually threatened due to global influences and how
[00:14:55] do you generally view the relations between the United States of America
[00:14:59] and SNSD currently, given that
[00:15:02] we see that first sanctions were lifted
[00:15:05] on Milorad Dodik and close associates
[00:15:08] and companies, what messages did you receive then, I assume that you
[00:15:12] discussed outside the meeting itself with
[00:15:15] individual officials, what are the attitudes there?
[00:15:19] We talked and are constantly talking,
[00:15:21] I repeat that the United States of America is the most important foreign policy partner of Bosnia
[00:15:25] and Herzegovina and the creators of Dayton, people who
[00:15:28] helped the then and all subsequent administrations to prove and show
[00:15:32] possible peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina despite all complex problems. The time that Dayton
[00:15:35] brought us and that straitjacket which truly needs to be
[00:15:39] unpacked, it needs to be updated, it needs to be
[00:15:42] repackaged, I can today truly triumph because everything
[00:15:45] I say has been confirmed, although it was not easy at times,
[00:15:48] mostly because of politicians from Sarajevo who made Dodik a winner,
[00:15:52] when Dodik was the ruler of processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, here are the
[00:15:56] elections today, Dodik is not on the lists, he is still
[00:15:59] due to crime in the register in Banja Luka, he is listed
[00:16:03] as president of SNSD, and here we will insist that those responsible
[00:16:06] of course face certain sanctions,
[00:16:10] so America is committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is interested in
[00:16:13] processes, it will invest in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it supports integrity,
[00:16:16] sovereignty, this was an excellent opportunity, we talked about that political
[00:16:20] terrorism, I brought a picture of Milorad Dodik, when you open a textbook
[00:16:24] on political terrorism, there on the first page is his picture, who
[00:16:28] went from radical left to radical right-winger who insults
[00:16:31] victims of genocide who has no human manners, so
[00:16:34] we also talked, of course, a good part about him, but about everything that
[00:16:38] awaits us in relations, here Bosnia and Herzegovina will soon get an American
[00:16:42] ambassador, a man who is focused on dedicated, on military
[00:16:45] industry, where we have huge potential, that is another opportunity,
[00:16:49] you see now with the price of Gazprom that it is necessary, inevitable, to
[00:16:52] speed up the southern interconnection and everything that Dodik
[00:16:56] lied about in order to stay in power, turned out to be false, the sanctions remained,
[00:16:59] the decisions of the high representative are not erased. Pyer remains
[00:17:02] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prosecution is working, the courts are working, I must
[00:17:06] remind once again, you remember him, he will forbid it, he will take over
[00:17:10] the borders, then he raises his hand for the budget in which the prosecution, the
[00:17:13] court, all other institutions had their salaries
[00:17:17] increased, working conditions improved, we should not give Dodik
[00:17:20] the importance he is given, he should be left where he belongs,
[00:17:24] what are your expectations from the new
[00:17:27] Ambassador of the United States of America in Bosnia and
[00:17:31] Herzegovina, how do you see him at all when
[00:17:34] it comes to the internal relations of Bosnia and
[00:17:37] Herzegovina, whose policies
[00:17:41] ambassador actually represent? Uh,
[00:17:44] now again on the scene is a new wave, uh,
[00:17:46] a new old new stance
[00:17:49] of the international community which says: it's okay, reduce
[00:17:52] international presence, don't let anyone make decisions
[00:17:56] from outside anymore, let local politicians agree for a while,
[00:17:59] I completely agree with that stance, I commented on it when
[00:18:02] it concerned the OHR, Dodik had some plans there, none of his
[00:18:06] plans of course materialized, this and
[00:18:10] I believe that the American ambassador will be in line with such policies
[00:18:13] together with his colleagues from the European Union and other important
[00:18:16] partners of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so it is really
[00:18:20] time, but I guarantee that again no one and never again will
[00:18:23] tolerate any new attempts, Dodik still has this secessionist
[00:18:26] narrative, he talks about how he would someday unite with Serbia,
[00:18:29] I invite him to return some of those laws to the National Assembly,
[00:18:33] to try formally with those secessionist activities he
[00:18:37] previously engaged in, you see he doesn't dare, you see he won't, and I think
[00:18:40] the American ambassador will focus on what is very important to us, that
[00:18:44] economic cooperation, investments, stability, of course
[00:18:47] are prerequisites, so no one, neither Dodik nor those like him, will be allowed to
[00:18:51] shake Bosnia and Herzegovina, but rather to talk about investments that
[00:18:54] will keep young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:18:58] The politicians coming from SNSD are still vocal
[00:19:02] in commenting on the interference of politicians from the Federation
[00:19:06] in the relations in Republika Srpska, and now again
[00:19:09] uh, Minister of Finance Srđan Amidžić was actually
[00:19:11] putting pressure on the judge of the court in Banja Luka
[00:19:15] regarding the relationship between RTRS and BHRT, he claims
[00:19:19] that Bosniak politicians want to shut down RTRS by blocking
[00:19:22] accounts and leave only BHRT. What is
[00:19:26] the background of this financial and media blockade? We ourselves
[00:19:29] have witnessed a difficult situation for years
[00:19:32] regarding the state of BHRT. How do you
[00:19:36] now view this move, and these comments we've been
[00:19:40] hearing for days from SNSD politicians,
[00:19:43] what exactly is the problem here now?
[00:19:46] And they have a lot of problems piled up on them that
[00:19:50] they themselves have been creating for many years, so it's the other way around.
[00:19:53] RTRS is of course robbing BHRT, the public service,
[00:19:57] not fulfilling its obligations, stealing money from subscriptions, not transferring
[00:20:01] it where it should, and thank God in this case it shows
[00:20:04] that there is still a rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina to protect
[00:20:07] the institutions of this country, so it's the other way around, there's no talk
[00:20:11] of that, no one, we are more interested in
[00:20:14] the whole system functioning than that Amidžić, because it's a system
[00:20:18] of connected vessels, so I don't gloat
[00:20:22] over what is happening, because it affects Bosnia and Herzegovina, when
[00:20:26] Dodik finances schools in Albania with the money of the citizens
[00:20:30] of Republika Srpska, we pay the price, he doesn't give it to us either, because he has that
[00:20:33] destructive Dayton tool to block all of that. Remember,
[00:20:37] Republika Srpska owes a lot of money to the Federation, now that
[00:20:40] judgment will come soon, this is why Amidžić does not allow discussion at the
[00:20:44] management board of the Indirect Taxation Authority, now that will come,
[00:20:47] so all debts at high interest rates are coming
[00:20:51] due, and they are of course in a problem that is
[00:20:54] unsolvable, and that is why the rhetoric is so astonishing, because it is election
[00:20:58] time, it is very good that people in Republika Srpska finally
[00:21:02] realize who these fraudsters from SNSD are.
[00:21:05] Yes, it's summer vacation, after returning from vacation
[00:21:09] comes the pre-election campaign, preparations for the elections,
[00:21:12] we assume there's no more time to do anything special,
[00:21:15] however, ministers, and the chairperson, somehow constantly comment on the situation in Bosnia and
[00:21:21] Herzegovina, those some of their positions, what else
[00:21:25] interests me, information appeared that the advisor
[00:21:28] of the chairperson of the Council of Ministers of BiH received severance pay, then he was
[00:21:32] re-employed in the same position, so are you aware of how much state
[00:21:36] institutions provide opportunities for such malversations, such
[00:21:39] spending and disposal of the budget, since
[00:21:43] we witness that many politicians who still sit in
[00:21:46] parliamentary benches already retired a few years ago and then
[00:21:50] actually returned to the political scene?
[00:21:53] I really haven't seen that case of an advisor taking severance pay
[00:21:57] and then returning to an advisory position, it's not the first,
[00:22:00] unfortunately probably not the last either, so the question of attitude towards those
[00:22:03] commodities and the question of personal character, so that is probably
[00:22:07] legal, I don't want to
[00:22:09] accuse other people now, there are
[00:22:11] many who have done that, this, I can answer for everything
[00:22:15] I personally do, uh, no one else
[00:22:19] when it comes to ethics, when it comes to law, of course we are all very
[00:22:22] strict, anyone who violates any regulation, any
[00:22:25] act, any law should, needs to be held accountable with
[00:22:29] the worst sanctions, to be punished. But this issue of ethics
[00:22:33] is really something that is of an individual nature, I know how
[00:22:37] I live, how I treat public money, how I spend public
[00:22:40] money, that is very verifiable, anyone who wants can see it every
[00:22:44] day. We talked about it.
[00:22:47] najgorim sankcijama da bude kažnjen. ali ovo pitanje etičnosti
[00:22:51] zaista je nešto što je individualne naravi, ja znam kako
[00:22:54] ja živim, kako se odnosim prema javnom novcu, kako trošim javni
[00:22:58] novac to je vrlo provjerljivo, ko god želi i može se to uvjeriti svaki
[00:23:01] just now with these
[00:23:04] post-election coalitions, agreements,
[00:23:07] possibilities. Seven days ago, Ramo Isak, the Minister
[00:23:11] of Internal Affairs of the Federation, was with us in the studio and said that
[00:23:15] it was agreed that he would be offered the position of Minister
[00:23:18] of Security in the next mandate that... do you have information about that, do you know
[00:23:22] with whom it was eventually agreed upon,
[00:23:24] negotiated?
[00:23:26] Mm, I don't, I really wasn't part of such conversations,
[00:23:30] I didn't talk to anyone about it, not even with Ramo Isak,
[00:23:33] so there are still no grounds or conditions for that,
[00:23:37] the government will be formed by those who will be in a position to do so, the outcome
[00:23:41] is expected, of course, from the presidency which appoints the prime minister of the council
[00:23:44] of ministers, up to the composition of the House of Representatives, and that is very important, so
[00:23:48] we will not allow it to be done in the way Ćović and Zedbegović
[00:23:52] advocate, that only the House of Peoples is important, that the government is formed only by those
[00:23:56] who have that ethnic, ethnic
[00:23:58] advantage, so to speak, in such a way the foundations of Bosnia and
[00:24:02] Herzegovina are being attacked, at least the one I fought for, multi-ethnic, in
[00:24:06] which there must be much more civic, with, of course, the
[00:24:09] protection of the ethnic, but that ethnic cannot be so dominant,
[00:24:13] both of them said, whoever has a majority in the House of Peoples, will form the government,
[00:24:17] the government will be formed by whoever has the votes in the House of Representatives, which
[00:24:20] confirms that council of ministers, so the structure of the
[00:24:24] House of Peoples will, of course, be important, but not the ultimate only
[00:24:28] important one. Finally, let's touch upon the
[00:24:31] problems of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically
[00:24:34] workers, transporters in Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, by extension
[00:24:38] the entire economy and industry of our country. Transporters in
[00:24:42] BiH are demanding urgent solutions, warning that September could actually
[00:24:46] bring blockades, huge blows to business, the economy due to...
[00:24:50] unregulated status and waiting at the borders that they are witnessing,
[00:24:53] and thus actually also being turned back from the borders
[00:24:56] and arrests that they have faced.
[00:24:59] Do we have a plan now? Have you, as the
[00:25:02] Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, discussed this with
[00:25:06] representatives of European Union countries? Croatia has amended
[00:25:09] the visa law, however, certain
[00:25:12] bylaws are awaited for it to come into force, but what about other
[00:25:16] European Union countries? What are your expectations
[00:25:20] from the sessions of European officials that await us in
[00:25:23] September, which the transporters themselves are actually
[00:25:27] looking forward to, so that they know their own status and
[00:25:30] next steps.
[00:25:33] Uh, that's a justified topic, a topic in focus, it's really very important for the economy and
[00:25:37] it's really a big blow to not only the people who work in
[00:25:41] this industry, in this branch, but to the entire economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
[00:25:45] unfortunately Europe has its own rules, that's one more
[00:25:48] reason for people to understand that in elections
[00:25:51] only those who drive towards that European Union, because if we were
[00:25:55] inside, our drivers would be protected, others would
[00:25:59] pay the price, they wouldn't be able to enter a system in which our
[00:26:02] industry is protected, these are benefits we can
[00:26:06] achieve if there are people in
[00:26:10] positions who understand this issue, not those who
[00:26:13] falsely pose with drivers and then block
[00:26:16] all European regulations, European laws. We still have two
[00:26:20] technical laws left to formally elect
[00:26:23] the chief negotiator and start negotiations, that, of course, we
[00:26:26] expect by the elections. Transporters
[00:26:29] actually don't have time to wait, elections are soon. There is no solution, Bosnia and
[00:26:33] Herzegovina does not decide on that, so I dedicated at least
[00:26:37] a third of all my meetings in the last year to that issue, I talked to
[00:26:40] everyone, the European Union has not shown even a millimeter of
[00:26:43] understanding. Croatia, this is what was commendable, has really made a step forward in the Law
[00:26:47] on Foreigners that should and will, I
[00:26:51] believe, help our transporters, so that they can
[00:26:54] stay long enough to do their jobs, that no one will
[00:26:58] arrest them anymore, they can more easily get visas that guarantee it to them, that was
[00:27:02] one really positive thing, which I directly discussed many times
[00:27:05] with Prime Minister Plenković and Minister Radman, Minister
[00:27:09] Božinović, we knew when the first and second readings
[00:27:12] were in the parliament, because it is very important, other countries have not shown that
[00:27:16] readiness, and what is very important, it's not just for drivers from Bosnia and
[00:27:20] Herzegovina, it's the attitude of the European Union
[00:27:23] towards all those who are not members of the European Union. The problem is even worse
[00:27:27] and bigger, this entry and exit system at
[00:27:29] the borders, because of which the European economy suffers, because a large number of
[00:27:33] citizens do not go to those large queues and crossings, so Europe
[00:27:37] slowly realizes that it is not functional, that it harms
[00:27:40] them, but decisions are made in Brussels, and I think that those special
[00:27:44] individual decisions towards any of the countries will
[00:27:46] not happen. Yes, thank you very much for your time and for
[00:27:50] being our guest today live. Thank you
[00:27:54] and a big
[00:27:55] hello.

[00:30:02] A new day begins. Friend of the show, Medicana Health Group.
[00:30:26] Good morning everyone, you are watching Novi dan, the morning program of N1
[00:30:30] television this morning from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia, as every
[00:30:33] morning, with the most important topics that mark our common
[00:30:37] everyday life. Fires are certainly among them, for days now
[00:30:41] fires have been raging across Bosnia and Herzegovina, and currently the
[00:30:44] most critical situation is in Una-Sana and Canton 10, in Bihać and
[00:30:47] Bosansko Grahovo, helicopters of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
[00:30:51] Herzegovina have been deployed. On the ground are still exhausted firefighters,
[00:30:54] foresters and members of civil protection, with a lack of
[00:30:58] manpower and equipment. In
