[00:00:04] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met on Tuesday [00:00:08] in Kyiv with former American professional boxer Terence [00:00:11] Crawford, who gave him a puppy named Freya as a sign [00:00:14] of solidarity with Ukraine. Footage released by the press service [00:00:18] of the Ukrainian president shows the undefeated former world champion [00:00:21] handing a puppy of an American pit bull terrier to Zelensky [00:00:25] during a meeting in the presidential office. [00:00:29] According to Zelensky's Telegram, Fren Dedatos [00:00:32] survived the Russian occupation of Bucha, a city near [00:00:35] Kyiv, which became a symbol of Russian war [00:00:39] crimes at the beginning of the war. Zelensky stated that the puppy was named after the future [00:00:43] anti-aircraft defense system Freya as a symbol [00:00:46] of our protection. As it was said, during the meeting [00:00:49] the Ukrainian president addressed Crawford and spoke about the victory [00:00:52] his country [00:00:54] needs. [00:00:59] We know who you are. We know about your victories, and we in Ukraine [00:01:02] need a victory, but one, one big [00:01:05] victory that is important to us because that is the way to [00:01:07] survive. [00:01:12] That's all for sports news, don't forget that all other sports news can be found [00:01:15] on our portal n1info.Ba, thank you for your attention, goodbye. [00:02:03] The president of HDZ 1990, delegate [00:02:06] in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina Ilija Civitanović, our [00:02:10] first guest today, from the request for changes to the election law, through [00:02:14] reactions to the resolution of the Croatian Parliament on the position of Croats in BiH, to [00:02:17] a fierce polemic with Sloven Kovačević and the criminal complaint that followed [00:02:21] after his statements about the verdict in the Prlić and others case, [00:02:25] are topics that we will discuss in the next few minutes. Good day [00:02:28] and welcome. Good day. Thank you for the invitation, there have been many reactions [00:02:32] these days, or rather for several months, how good it is that [00:02:35] HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina finally got serious [00:02:39] competition, but on the other hand, there are also remarks, actually that [00:02:42] group of five, perhaps even more right-wing than [00:02:46] Čović's HDZ, how do you comment on that? Well, [00:02:50] I don't know what is right-wing, it's not difficult to be more right-wing than Čović's [00:02:53] HDZ, so the group of five is a group of political [00:02:56] parties that come from the Croatian corpus. [00:03:00] Center-right with very clear state-building stances when it comes to [00:03:04] Bosnia and Herzegovina, with very clear stances on [00:03:07] the organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, equality of constituent [00:03:10] peoples, preserving our history, our [00:03:14] heritage, what we are in Bosnia and [00:03:18] Herzegovina, three constituent peoples with different [00:03:21] faiths, not wishing to be against anyone, we are [00:03:24] inclusive, we are not against [00:03:27] any, if that is right-wing then we are right-wing, so. So, in my opinion, we are [00:03:30] the political center-right that preserves our [00:03:34] tradition, that preserves our customs, what the Croatian people [00:03:37] have cultivated and lived for centuries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, [00:03:40] state-building, and I think that is the correct political path and [00:03:44] political direction. When you draw a line, what is the fundamental [00:03:48] difference between HDZ, BIH and this [00:03:51] group of five? Well, HDZ, BIH has been ruling for 25, [00:03:54] 30 years, their president perhaps even 50 years manages significant [00:03:58] resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he has shown that [00:04:02] in various ways push those he is not capable, that he cannot solve key national issues, that he cannot [00:04:05] stop the exodus of Croats and all other citizens from Bosnia and [00:04:09] Herzegovina, that it is full of clientelism, [00:04:12] nepotism, corruption, so we come from a completely different [00:04:15] spectrum, we are younger significantly, at least by [00:04:18] 20 years, we have not had the opportunity to show [00:04:22] what we know, and in these elections we united to [00:04:25] jointly offer ourselves to the Croatian people in Bosnia and Herzegovina [00:04:29] to enable them. to choose, they will choose [00:04:32] how they think it is better for them, we offer ourselves and we have shown by our [00:04:35] agreement that we are ready for compromise, for agreement, [00:04:39] that is the path we want this country to take, through agreement, through [00:04:42] compromise, and we believe that we can do much better, that we can be more qualitative, [00:04:46] that we can be more honest, that we can be more humane, that we can be more inclusive, that we will not be [00:04:49] alienated, that we will simply live our [00:04:53] political life in a different way, it is difficult to look for [00:04:56] differences in some national topics, the election law [00:05:00] of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I expect that every responsible Croat who [00:05:03] is involved in public affairs tries through his conscience to come to [00:05:07] a position on what is best for Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We defined [00:05:11] it in the way we defined it and we stand behind it, you mentioned [00:05:14] the election law, what else besides the election law, which is [00:05:18] according to many opinions today the biggest problem, actually, what are the other [00:05:21] challenges that you put before the group of five, at the same [00:05:25] level, nothing less, stopping [00:05:28] the exodus, emigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina, [00:05:31] motivating return, especially of young people in [00:05:34] this difficult time in Western Europe, when [00:05:38] people want to return, but simply there is no [00:05:41] sense of a returnee climate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, no sense that [00:05:45] Bosnia and Herzegovina in its legislation, in its arrangement, in [00:05:49] its agreement, in relations within Bosnia and Herzegovina has moved [00:05:52] even a little forward for these people to make that final step, [00:05:56] i.e., the final decision to return, that will definitely be one of [00:06:00] the more important topics along with the election law, not after, but along with [00:06:03] the election law, the fight against crime, corruption for an independent [00:06:07] judiciary which is under political [00:06:10] influence, honor to individuals not to generalize, but [00:06:14] the judiciary starts the liberation of all [00:06:17] other segments of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so we have no [00:06:21] influence on the judiciary, nor do we seek it, nor do we want [00:06:24] to have it, but we want through changes to all laws that [00:06:28] relate to the judiciary, including the HJPC and the court which is constantly [00:06:31] being adopted, we want to free that judiciary [00:06:34] from political influence, no, I don't need to, I am sure the public [00:06:38] to explain that today the judiciary is under absolute political [00:06:41] influence. that indictments are flying against [00:06:44] political dissidents, that it is simply the [00:06:48] worst thing in Bosnia and Herzegovina at this moment and from which [00:06:51] the recovery of this society should begin, that is the fight [00:06:55] for a free judiciary, that is the first segment in negotiations, [00:06:59] the first cluster of negotiations with the European Union, that's why they are not [00:07:01] opening, because if you had an independent judiciary, billions [00:07:05] have disappeared from this country in the past [00:07:08] 30 years, so let the rule of law function, let it condemn all those [00:07:12] who are guilty of it, even if it is someone from our ranks, it doesn't [00:07:16] matter, it only matters that there is no selective approach, that there is [00:07:19] a transparent and equal approach to everyone. We will talk about the European path, I would like [00:07:23] to dwell a little more on this issue of the position of Croats in [00:07:26] BiH, you welcomed the resolution of the Croatian Parliament on the political [00:07:29] empowerment of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I want to ask you [00:07:32] a concrete thing, how much was that resolution [00:07:36] really produced by the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, how much by the desire of some parties [00:07:39] in Croatia to further show themselves. [00:07:43] Well, I think that, if you want to weigh it, the [00:07:46] desire for [00:07:49] the fight for a better position of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina prevails. I know [00:07:53] many authors and I socialize, so I will be free to say [00:07:57] that I partly participated in creating that resolution from its very [00:08:01] beginning with the aim [00:08:03] of stabilizing the political situation in Bosnia and [00:08:07] Herzegovina, not direct interference, but a message to Croats [00:08:10] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Croatian Parliament [00:08:13] stands behind you, just as we in '94 and [00:08:17] '95 directed you or even worked on [00:08:20] your behalf, agreed on such an organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we [00:08:24] accept that, we are aware of that and as guarantors [00:08:27] of that, we stand behind you, we will provide support for you to reach [00:08:30] an agreement within Bosnia and Herzegovina that will stabilize [00:08:34] political relations, especially in the federation, I [00:08:37] guarantee that this is not against Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is not against Bosniaks, [00:08:41] it is not against Serbs. I regret that the resolution does not yet have a paragraph [00:08:45] that speaks about the entity Republika Srpska, about the position [00:08:48] of Croats in Republika Srpska, which is catastrophic, why is that part missing, I don't know [00:08:52] why it is missing, I suggested it in the final, it was modified [00:08:55] several times, it was supposed to be found, so it was an agreement within the coalition with [00:08:59] HDZ, DP and other political [00:09:02] entities and perhaps the influence of HDZ from Mostar [00:09:06] eliminated that part, do you mean that the closeness of SNSD and [00:09:10] HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina produced that that part is not [00:09:13] mentioned, very possible, very possible that it was so, but [00:09:16] I repeat, despite that, the resolution is [00:09:19] a document against which only one member of parliament in the Croatian Parliament [00:09:23] voted, which shows that there are no left or right, nor [00:09:26] those in the center, who do not recognize the relations in Bosnia and [00:09:30] Herzegovina, who have not understood that support is needed, [00:09:32] I would not say classic interference, and from the first day [00:09:36] I recognize the importance of such a resolution adopted in that way [00:09:39] in contrast to those from HDZ BiH, the president of the Federation [00:09:43] said, a few days before the adoption of the resolution, until the [00:09:47] order came from Zagreb to support it, that no one should [00:09:50] interfere in Bosnia and Herzegovina, let the actors within Bosnia and Herzegovina agree, so why [00:09:54] didn't you agree for 25 years, you see that you have neither the will nor the strength to [00:09:58] agree, this resolution is for me an incentive for political [00:10:01] representatives of both Bosniaks and Croats, especially these two [00:10:05] nations, you have friends in us, sit down, [00:10:08] agree, solve it, we will support you. on the European [00:10:11] path to the solution of that important for Croats, but especially for Bosnia and [00:10:15] Herzegovina, there were attempts to solve it, it's not that it wasn't [00:10:18] truly in the last mandate, no, but in some earlier [00:10:21] period it never really came to a final solution, [00:10:25] everyone who would try to make a compromise on [00:10:28] one side or the other was declared a traitor in advance, [00:10:31] do you think that, given that it certainly won't [00:10:35] be solved before the elections, after the elections there are some options, some [00:10:39] forces that can sit at the same table and agree on something that [00:10:43] at this moment seems to be the biggest problem, not only of the federation, but [00:10:46] completely of the relations between Bosniaks and Croats of BiH, if [00:10:50] we start from the premise and if we put forward the thesis that [00:10:54] the relations between Croats and Bosniaks are the key to the stability of Bosnia and [00:10:57] Herzegovina, the key to the Euro-Atlantic path of Bosnia and Herzegovina, if [00:11:01] we have elections in a month and if we know that we will [00:11:04] continue to wallow in political mud if we do not solve these key issues, and [00:11:08] if some more are needed along with this election law, then [00:11:12] I am sure that the citizens in these elections will understand that it is [00:11:15] the moment when perhaps someone else should be given the opportunity who will [00:11:19] have the strength to make such a difficult decision and [00:11:22] be ready for criticism from a part [00:11:25] of the hypocritical public that intentionally creates such an environment, [00:11:29] trying to already in advance label as traitors all those who [00:11:32] want a minimum of compromise, do you mean that the situation would be [00:11:35] more relaxed if in the elections for the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina [00:11:39] a member of the group of five or a member, i.e., a candidate [00:11:42] of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, won, that would be a much better situation for everyone in [00:11:46] Bosnia and Herzegovina, now I don't know how the Central Election Commission [00:11:50] will react, we have seven or eight more days until the campaign, we started talking about penalties, not [00:11:53] talking about the campaign. we are talking about what could, therefore, [00:11:57] a contract on the election law, which is crucial in the candidate, [00:12:01] i.e., in the member of the Presidency for me, is that he is recognized [00:12:05] as a legitimate Croat [00:12:08] who has proven himself throughout his life, his work, his [00:12:12] participation in the Homeland War and as a state-building [00:12:14] Bosnian-Herzegovinian, that is the candidate we offer, who [00:12:18] is not against anyone, who is for, but people, we must [00:12:22] get excited, we must understand what it is that is [00:12:26] less in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that costs no one anything, but there is [00:12:29] fear, a few days ago information appeared, [00:12:33] allegedly, if the candidate of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina and [00:12:37] SNSD enter the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that there [00:12:40] is already an alleged agreement that Milorad Dodik will be pardoned [00:12:44] and after that take over the function of Prime Minister of Republika [00:12:46] Srpska, that is something that is obviously feared in some [00:12:50] circles of the public in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but that [00:12:54] public is continuously afraid of some potential conspiracies, [00:12:58] I really don't know what these two candidates can do, I know what [00:13:01] an independent, probably and certainly would do [00:13:05] a candidate of the group of five if he were in the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, [00:13:08] everything that is against the interests of Bosnia and Herzegovina, [00:13:12] he would be against it, everything that is in the interest of the Croatian people, [00:13:16] he would absolutely advocate for it and would be a defender [00:13:19] of the interests of the people and the state, and what others will do, they have shown [00:13:23] in the past 20, 30 years. "how they will behave, what they will [00:13:26] do, the candidate we support is certainly not against [00:13:30] anyone, but will always be proactive, offer solutions, [00:13:33] offer a better standard, a better life, they say he is not competent to comment on this or that [00:13:37] topic, well, a member of the presidency by his authority is competent to speak [00:13:41] about all public matters in society, of course he should speak about the judiciary [00:13:44] and about ideologies and what was 30 years ago, because the public [00:13:48] must know who they are dealing with, about the legitimate [00:13:51] representation of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Gordan Grlić Radman [00:13:55] and MEP Željana Zovko have spoken out these days, [00:13:59] who proposes the Belgian model as a principle [00:14:02] solution to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, how do you [00:14:06] comment on that proposal, specifically, well, I don't want to comment on [00:14:10] any individual proposal the elections, especially from people who had [00:14:14] the opportunity through their political parties to do so, do you mean [00:14:18] that in the campaign, [00:14:21] that whoever has been ruling for 25 years, and among Croats it is HDZ of Bosnia [00:14:25] and Herzegovina, if they offer Belgian, [00:14:28] Swiss, any solutions a month before the elections, it is only for [00:14:32] the elections, it is not for solutions, so we [00:14:35] simply as a group of parties will not have [00:14:37] a partner who is not ready to do these [00:14:40] solutions, [00:14:42] Ranko Madrak a few days ago proposes that the condition for establishing power after the October [00:14:46] elections should be precisely the election law, why not, [00:14:50] would you act in that way, why not, it is time, [00:14:53] so, we don't need conditions. but it is obvious that, but in the [00:14:57] previous mandate there were no conditions, so no agreement was reached, although [00:15:00] we nominally had the guarantee of the president of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina that [00:15:04] the Government of the Federation would not be formed until the election law [00:15:08] was amended, six months after its formation, then in 15 days, then in [00:15:11] 20, then thousands of days passed, nothing was done, why not [00:15:15] that, why not use all democratic [00:15:18] tools to convince the other to act wrongly, to act [00:15:22] badly, to act correctly for this country, people, I... [00:15:25] "I call on the public to understand that nothing will change [00:15:28] if Croats had dominant influence, well, 100% cannot [00:15:32] vote for someone ever, but dominant influence [00:15:34] the possibility of complete pluralism, so we..." today [00:15:37] we do not have a situation among Croats where someone [00:15:40] calls the candidate we support a traitor because of his [00:15:43] background, because of his national responsibility, because [00:15:47] of his political and military actions, that was the goal [00:15:50] of that, to have the fact that when he appeared, [00:15:54] a good part of Bosniaks specifically [00:15:57] saw hope in him and gave support, then that [00:16:00] story changed in the meantime precisely because of what we talked about at the beginning, [00:16:04] that the group of five went, it seems, too far. [00:16:08] The group of five is where it needs to be, that story is very relative, we are [00:16:11] HDZ 90 is center-right, these are our traditional Christian [00:16:15] values that we advocate for and that are defined by our [00:16:19] declarations, our statute, that is the political framework in which we [00:16:22] move, we don't go too far in one direction or too far [00:16:26] in the other, but the candidate is not against anyone, he is welcome [00:16:29] to everyone, and of course he will primarily [00:16:33] advocate for Croatian interests, that he will defend the state, state interests, [00:16:37] of course that is implied, but if someone [00:16:39] creates a perception, with the aim [00:16:43] of helping someone else, and we have [00:16:45] 16 years of experience, what it means when someone like that [00:16:48] sits in the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not only will we not take [00:16:52] a step forward, it will be even more steps backward, wallowing in mud, not [00:16:56] solving the problem of emigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina, we do not want [00:16:59] to participate in that, when you mention the third, you had a conflict with [00:17:03] the media, through social networks with [00:17:06] Slavjan Ačević, candidate of the Democratic Front for a member [00:17:10] of the Presidency from the Croatian people, how do you [00:17:13] comment on being accused of spreading hate [00:17:16] speech? I have said a lot, I have never had [00:17:20] a conflict or discussion with that gentleman, I don't want to, [00:17:23] so, but it is some kind of media bickering, the first thing [00:17:27] I would ask him and recommend to him is to [00:17:30] allow people to live freely with electricity and water [00:17:34] in the apartment where that family lives with... [00:17:37] 80 years old below him, let him explain [00:17:41] to the public how in the municipality he belongs [00:17:44] to, in the past period changed ownership, [00:17:48] he had ownership rights to one floor, he, to one floor that [00:17:52] family, how did he exchange that, why do those people today live in the center [00:17:56] of Sarajevo without electricity and water, let him explain that to the public and then let him [00:17:59] fight for justice, if you don't respect [00:18:02] universal justice, the right to a normal life, how will [00:18:06] you represent anyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is a deception [00:18:10] of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is not even against Croats, that is [00:18:13] primarily against Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is the influence of someone else to [00:18:17] further destabilize the relations between Croats and Bosniaks in [00:18:20] the federation, and I repeat for the third time, that is the key to the Euro-Atlantic [00:18:24] path of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I will return to the issue [00:18:28] we discussed last time when we talked about this topic, [00:18:31] which is two against one when it comes to the race for [00:18:35] the Presidency, i.e., for the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the ranks [00:18:38] of Croats, do you think that in that struggle the one on [00:18:42] the other side will win because of this situation in which I don't [00:18:46] think about it, but we thought intensively about what to do [00:18:50] as responsible people, self-aware people what [00:18:53] to do and our final decision which we absolutely [00:18:57] stand behind is that the Croatian people must have the possibility of choice, they have [00:19:00] the possibility of choice between an independent candidate Vučić and [00:19:03] the candidate of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The third candidate does not exist for us. is [00:19:07] an option, I don't want to count blood cells, he doesn't [00:19:11] represent national interests, he doesn't represent state-building interests, we don't [00:19:15] fear scenarios, we believe that the candidate we support will achieve [00:19:18] such a result, win the elections and finally that Croats in [00:19:22] the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina will have a person [00:19:25] of stature, of authority, of dignity, of [00:19:29] a respectable past, of a formed and complete person [00:19:32] who does not need material wealth, the man is formed, he has finished all his [00:19:36] financial needs. "He needs peace, a man who has stepped out of [00:19:39] his comfort and offered himself, so I am sure that we will not be in that [00:19:43] situation at all, but again the crucial thing, we have not systematically [00:19:46] solved the issue of electing members of the presidency, as long as [00:19:49] we do not systematically solve this, we have not done the job, whoever is [00:19:53] elected, that must be the first topic and we will use all democratic [00:19:56] tools at our disposal to achieve that, and the state should [00:20:00] of course continue to function, we saw what happened in [00:20:03] the previous two years, blockades, blockades, blockades, except for the budget..." [00:20:07] almost nothing concrete was adopted in the Parliament of Bosnia and [00:20:11] Herzegovina, do you think that a similar principle will be [00:20:14] continued after the October elections, even when [00:20:18] a new government is established, if the forces that are currently [00:20:21] dominant continue to do the same thing? [00:20:25] To expect different effects is illusory, it is not possible, so if the same [00:20:29] people continue to manage processes, make decisions, of course you [00:20:32] must expect the same scenarios, the same situation, blockades, [00:20:36] stagnation, emigration. Riots, dissatisfaction, [00:20:40] apathy, depression in society, that's why there are elections, it's once every four [00:20:43] years when citizens have the opportunity, only that day they decide, how much [00:20:47] do you think that the application of modern [00:20:50] technologies will affect the elections, which will definitely be at all [00:20:54] polling stations on October 4th, will that [00:20:58] significantly change [00:21:01] the election results from what we had in previous years? Well, [00:21:04] I sincerely believe that it will drastically affect the election [00:21:07] results, and according to some of my [00:21:11] unproven estimates that I get from the field, no [00:21:14] less than 20% lower result [00:21:17] just because of new [00:21:20] election technologies for parties that have been ruling for years in Bosnia [00:21:24] and Herzegovina, these three key ones, I won't repeat them, I don't want to mention them anymore, [00:21:27] so it will certainly affect the election result, and what is particularly [00:21:31] important for everyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is that now no one [00:21:34] should stay at home, because they can be sure that that [00:21:38] vote, as they mark it, will be realized as that [00:21:42] voter wished, polling station committees will not be able to change the will [00:21:45] of the voters, so I am sure that it will drastically and significantly [00:21:49] affect the results themselves, the voting [00:21:52] process, the desire of voters to go to the polls, because no one [00:21:55] will steal from them what is very valuable, which is their [00:21:59] electoral will and the decision of that voter for whom they want [00:22:03] to govern Bosnia and Herzegovina for the next four years. Mr. Cvitanović, I want [00:22:06] to comment on one more topic, it concerns the OHR [00:22:09] office, there is no agreement on the election of a new High Representative in Bosnia and [00:22:13] Herzegovina, however, when all is said and done, things are moving forward [00:22:17] even without a High Representative and with him. "We are in a crisis, so in [00:22:21] a crisis, is that actually an indicator that [00:22:24] this country can function even without foreign tutors? You have set the [00:22:28] thesis well, so nothing significant has happened since Christian Schmidt [00:22:32] left and we have an Acting High Representative, so, [00:22:36] problems, problems, problems, misunderstanding, tough [00:22:39] political struggle, this country must definitely start [00:22:43] functioning without international influence and without a High Representative, and [00:22:46] without foreign judges in the Constitutional Court, but for that it must..." [00:22:50] fulfill several very small prerequisites, very small [00:22:53] things, it must adopt a law on state property, it must regulate that [00:22:57] area, it must show the international community that [00:22:59] it is a partner that fulfills its obligations, [00:23:03] the High Representative will not leave until the international [00:23:06] community says to leave, but if politics is to be conducted [00:23:09] in the way it has been conducted for the past 4, 8, 12 [00:23:12] years, the High Representative here, whoever [00:23:16] comes, will definitely reach old age, because with these [00:23:19] political actors, this progress, which is necessary for the [00:23:23] international community, will not happen, saying these people have shown [00:23:26] credibility, they don't need a foreign tutor, they can manage processes themselves and [00:23:30] make decisions. In the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina [00:23:33] several attempts were made to find a solution to at least partially [00:23:35] abolish excise duties on fuel because of this crisis we are facing, [00:23:39] there was no political agreement, there was no [00:23:42] understanding. On the other hand, Bosnia and Herzegovina is for [00:23:46] 25 years, only 250 [00:23:49] km of highway were built, all this cost more than two billion [00:23:52] euros, not convertible marks, but euros, then [00:23:56] the question arises where does that money from excises [00:24:00] that citizens have been paying since 2018, if [00:24:02] I'm not mistaken, incredibly, you listed that well, so Croatia has [00:24:06] 1600 I think kilometers [00:24:09] of highways, Bosnia and Herzegovina in both entities has as much as [00:24:13] you said in the past four years, I don't know if even [00:24:16] one meter of highway has been built. [00:24:20] Just a few days ago, 7 km on corridor [00:24:23] 5c, which has been under construction for eight years, which has been under construction for eight years, [00:24:27] so much money, I had a parliamentary question about where [00:24:30] the huge billions ended up, I never got an answer, [00:24:34] an answer as to where that huge money ended up and why that [00:24:37] highway is being built, the money simply [00:24:40] ends up in budgets, and from the budgets, [00:24:44] either individuals or private companies loyal [00:24:47] to political structures are satisfied. which then [00:24:52] individuals both politically and individually, [00:24:55] financing all their activities, so that money [00:24:58] ends up where there is no benefit for citizens. You mentioned [00:25:02] fuel excises, well, isn't it a shame that those 30 [00:25:06] fenigs, which would not significantly affect the revenues [00:25:09] of the Indirect Taxation Authority which are growing much more than [00:25:13] planned, that parliament accepted to abolish it and that [00:25:16] fuel would be 30 fenigs cheaper. But let's go [00:25:20] further, what about our terminals in Ploče? The State Audit [00:25:24] cannot enter that company, see who are [00:25:27] these people who have been managing for years, from which political [00:25:30] option they come, who is the president of the supervisory board, the secretary general of a [00:25:34] party, to see why we do not [00:25:37] enable competition, diversification through that port, [00:25:41] why oil comes to us all [00:25:44] the time, uh, sanctions against Russia, we all the time, as far as I have information, we use that oil [00:25:47] through Ploče in Bosnia and Herzegovina, why [00:25:51] don't we remove tariffs of 10% for [00:25:54] oil from other areas that is imported, in that way [00:25:58] we would reduce the price of fuel to 2.5 marks, but there is no political will. [00:26:02] There are no individuals who are ready to roll up their sleeves and [00:26:05] work, if the people are satisfied with that, great, as [00:26:09] far as I'm concerned, let them continue, we are not satisfied and that's why we are participating in the elections in [00:26:13] this way, let's see what the citizens will say on October 4th, thank [00:26:16] you very much for being our guest, thank you for talking about these topics, thank you for [00:26:20] the invitation.

[00:29:04] The political crisis in the Una-Sana Canton has in recent weeks [00:29:07] attracted great attention from the BiH public after the dismissal of the Una-Sana [00:29:11] Canton government, the formation of a new majority, disputes over [00:29:14] procedures and the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina which [00:29:18] temporarily halted the dismissal of the cantonal government, Mustafa Ružnić once again [00:29:22] found himself in the focus of political events. Is it a legitimate [00:29:25] attempt to change power or a violation of constitutional procedures, what [00:29:29] consequences does the crisis leave on institutions and citizens and what follows. after the decision [00:29:33] of the Constitutional Court, we are discussing that with the Prime Minister of the Una-Sana Canton, [00:29:36] the aforementioned Mustafa Ružnić, Mr. Ružnić, good day and thank [00:29:40] you for speaking to N1. [00:29:42] Good day to you, good day to all our, your viewers and a [00:29:46] big thank you for the invitation to be a guest. Let's try to [00:29:49] explain what happened in the Una-Sana Canton in recent days. The Constitutional Court [00:29:53] of the Federation temporarily suspended decisions on the dismissal of the [00:29:57] government. Do you believe that this confirmed your view that [00:30:00] procedures were violated when taking power, or are you waiting for the final [00:30:04] decision? Well, first of all, let me say that in the Una-Sana [00:30:07] Canton, an unprecedented [00:30:10] disgrace occurred, and a betrayal [00:30:13] of the Krajina and violations [00:30:16] of the constitution. We had a session of the assembly [00:30:19] on the night of August 10th to 11th [00:30:22] when a new majority was formed, where we congratulated the new majority [00:30:26] uh, called for them to act constitutionally. [00:30:30] to dismiss the government and appoint a new [00:30:32] government, however, when it came to invoking [00:30:36] a vital national interest, after voting by clubs of [00:30:40] peoples, the dismissal of the government did not receive the required majority [00:30:43] then a, [00:30:45] I think, uh, a constitutional coup happened, where [00:30:49] the parliamentary majority, disrespecting the constitution, disrespecting [00:30:52] the regulations, continued, adopted conclusions that derogated [00:30:56] the constitution and
