00:00:00statements again, all those increasingly frequent announcements about the third electoral
00:00:03unit precisely in this period before the elections
00:00:06themselves?
00:00:09Uh, exactly that last sentence of yours, that before the elections
00:00:12some unrealistic stories intensify in which those who
00:00:15have no mind, have no way to justify their four-year
00:00:19work, mostly flee to that zone of escalation or
00:00:22confrontation, announcing some things that cannot
00:00:26and will not happen in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is no third entity, there are no new electoral units,
00:00:30we can talk about everything, precisely because of that, we
00:00:33held a big conference, institutionally showed
00:00:36with numbers the real situation on the ground and proved that
00:00:40indeed the only people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, if we are talking about positions
00:00:43who suffer, this is the Bosniak people, so dozens,
00:00:47maybe hundreds of positions which at the expense of Bosniaks
00:00:50are consumed by other mainly Croats, I see that it actually
00:00:53echoed and it should have echoed, this in circles and
00:00:56in Zagreb in circles of HDZ I have not heard
00:01:00adequate answers from them, they want to continue fighting, we are not fighting, there has
00:01:04never been a lenient policy towards Zagreb, such a narrative was created
00:01:07by those who actually, now with HDZ in
00:01:11SBK have a government in which they gave the majority to HDZ, in which they
00:01:14transferred powers to Kordić in Mostar, and now they are complaining that
00:01:18Kordić is abusing those powers, so there was a correct relationship with Zagreb,
00:01:21we should speak the truth, we speak it pragmatically, when Zagreb
00:01:24is correct as it was in the case of our European path. When
00:01:28Plenković brings Ursula von der Leyen and Rutte by the hand, and whose
00:01:32parliament then voted on support for Bosnia and Herzegovina, when
00:01:35we together solve the problem when, for example, the question of some
00:01:39drivers under the law on foreigners, these are good things, we then react very
00:01:42well or correctly, when they again interfere in a rude
00:01:46way as they did now, we react
00:01:49adequately, so there was never a lenient policy, there was a correct
00:01:52policy that gave results in the first year
00:01:55of our mandate, but also in some other cases.
00:01:59somehow after your reaction the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:02:03of Croatia reacted again, stating that it was actually about
00:02:07Bosniak hysteria, how do you comment on where the line
00:02:10is actually between good neighborly relations and interference in
00:02:13the internal affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, why do we always talk about
00:02:17those statements of the Croatian Foreign Minister, especially now when
00:02:20the issue of the election law of Bosnia and
00:02:24Herzegovina is the
00:02:26topic?
00:02:28Well, he is one of the political actors, many reacted to this topic, before
00:02:32that we had some unpleasant messages, bad messages
00:02:35from Zagreb, drawing some maps, meetings of some
00:02:39radicals who were calling for some more radical
00:02:42solutions, so this is still a resolution in the parliament that infringes
00:02:46on the territorial, in fact, on the sovereignty of Bosnia and
00:02:48Herzegovina. Croatia naturally has the right to care for
00:02:52Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just as Serbia has the right to care for
00:02:56Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just as I, as a Bosniak, care about
00:02:59Bosniak nations in the region, but nevertheless, sovereignty is a red
00:03:02line, it is not crossed, let them not interfere in our internal affairs, there are
00:03:06enough of us, I hope there is reason and wisdom for such matters to be
00:03:10resolved in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and only there can they happen
00:03:13and be resolved, we value our neighbors and neighbors and
00:03:17partners and the international community, but an agreement can ultimately be reached
00:03:21only within Bosnia and Herzegovina, so I once
00:03:24reacted, I don't have much time and I don't want to do what people are
00:03:28used to doing, to now throw
00:03:30the ball to others for us to speak inflammatory languages while
00:03:33people are leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina, I must react
00:03:37when there is truly a need for it, but the focus and
00:03:40priority of our political action, the economy, is the fight against
00:03:44corruption, how to keep people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, here
00:03:47are Croats who massively left our country, fled from those
00:03:50policies of legitimate representation of all
00:03:53other hot topics and today they work in other
00:03:56countries, unfortunately they are not in their homes. How do you generally
00:04:00view, you mentioned that resolution and the session of the Croatian
00:04:04Parliament, how do you view it, the discussion itself
00:04:07that we witnessed, everything we heard,
00:04:11why was there even a need for the Croatian Parliament
00:04:15to consider this issue, how do you interpret it, what
00:04:19is, what is the underlying goal of that very
00:04:22session of the Croatian Parliament?
00:04:26Well, that idea also came from these right-wing, let's say, right-wing circles.
00:04:30who mostly, these are the populists who uh cannot answer
00:04:34the challenges of their society, cannot present concrete
00:04:37results of what they should be answering to the citizens, they are part of
00:04:41the government, so then they run away to some zones that are interesting to the
00:04:44public, they used to call them patriotic, people see that it is no longer
00:04:48patriotism, of course the government of Andrej Plenković and he personally and his
00:04:52associates have their role in that, you remember the first draft which was
00:04:56much more radical, so there was talk about some worse things, this does not
00:04:59exonerate Plenković or the government, because in the end they still agreed and
00:05:03voted for such a resolution to be in the parliament and HDZ
00:05:06voted for such a resolution, it is inappropriate and not good, it is not
00:05:09benevolent, we who have spoken many
00:05:13times about this issue that needs to be addressed, almost all Bosniak leaders
00:05:17including religious leaders, presidents of almost all parties
00:05:21in Bosnia and Herzegovina have said that the issue of the Croat
00:05:24member of the presidency should be resolved, but that issue is completely
00:05:28constitutional, legitimate, legal when we opened topics and raised
00:05:32questions about some unconstitutional processes, because our constitution
00:05:35says that proportional representation of peoples must be respected
00:05:39in relation to the last census, and starting from the Council of Ministers. The Constitutional
00:05:42Court, 12 directorial positions at the state level,
00:05:46there is too much in favor of Croats at the expense of Bosniaks, then
00:05:50these same circles flee, do not come to Sarajevo for such a session, do not
00:05:53talk, but again I will repeat, I would want, I would like,
00:05:56I will do everything for that to be a part of our political action,
00:06:00we will protect Bosnia and Herzegovina of course by all legal
00:06:03means, but I call for us to return to discussions about
00:06:06the economy, about living conditions, about high prices, about the price of
00:06:09fuel, corruption that is still destroying our society, we do not
00:06:13have to hide behind those national inflammatory
00:06:16rhetorics, we will certainly talk about those other
00:06:20topics concerning Bosnia and Herzegovina, but here, while we are still on the topic of the election
00:06:24law, how do you generally see solutions for the election law, we constantly talk about
00:06:28damaged Croats, you mentioned
00:06:31here, and you, damaged Bosniaks, however, we know that
00:06:34others somehow remained in the worst political position in Bosnia and
00:06:38Herzegovina, is there any hope at all that a solution will be found with this
00:06:42constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina?
00:06:45I must again return to that famous Neum where I was a participant and
00:06:49there we were really close to a correct
00:06:53solution in which we are all equally dissatisfied, so
00:06:57we said then, I want to remind you of the deletion of the ethnic
00:07:00prefix from the presidency and what is very
00:07:03important from the House of Peoples, the Parliament
00:07:06of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we would have therefore three clubs in which none
00:07:10would be called according to the people. Neither Bosniak, nor
00:07:13Croat, nor Serb, but all would be Bosniak and Croat
00:07:16Serb and other citizens who are not
00:07:20members of constituent peoples, so that was very close, a solution
00:07:23that was, let's say, modeled after the American
00:07:27electoral system, or we have that
00:07:30solution again from the "Zapriski paket" in which the members of the presidency
00:07:34are elected through the parliament, but I repeat once again, that is not
00:07:37the only, for us it is a smaller problem, the bigger problem is
00:07:40citizens who are not members of constituent peoples, they have
00:07:44no right at all to run for the presidency or for
00:07:48the houses of peoples, so that is the judgment of the international court, the European
00:07:51Court of Human Rights, that is an obligation from 14 priorities and I return
00:07:55to this topic, of course, we cannot talk about one, these
00:07:5950 or more in which Bosniaks, I agree with you, and
00:08:02citizens who are not members of constituent peoples in which
00:08:06they have no rights and Croats use them, that's not how agreements are made,
00:08:09there's no agreement if only one side
00:08:13insists on what interests them. Now, let's somehow
00:08:16move on to these economic topics, but topics
00:08:19of progress for Bosnia and Herzegovina. You gave an interesting interpretation
00:08:23for the loss of money from the growth plan,
00:08:26you stated yesterday that Milorad Dodik is stealing money from the Republika Srpska,
00:08:30and thus from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and sending it to Albania and Montenegro.
00:08:34Is there any sense in hoping that we will ever
00:08:37get that money and withdraw funds from the growth plan?
00:08:41As long as that Russian submarine is in power, that is, as long as
00:08:45Dodik is there, as long as he behaves like that, as long as his
00:08:48obedient followers, those who follow him blindly as party president, even though he is no longer
00:08:51a political figure, I don't see an option for the
00:08:55money to be withdrawn, and it's really like this, I saw a large number of
00:08:59reactions, first Ana Trišić Babić says no one cares what
00:09:02Konaković thinks and says, then Svimi Odumi writes, and
00:09:05Cvijanović and Košarac, I see that this nocturnal truth has disturbed
00:09:09them, because... "There in Albania, people, according to Dodik, should give
00:09:12a name to some school that sprouts up there, he stole money from
00:09:16the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one third and more of that
00:09:20from the citizens of BiH who live in the BiH entity Republika Srpska and
00:09:24transferred it to Albania and Montenegro, because the growth plan looks
00:09:27like this: those who do reforms that are stopped in Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:09:31because of SNSD, they get nothing, that money goes to those who are
00:09:34fast, currently the fastest are Albania and Montenegro and that is
00:09:37really true, I see today that the public I must say." "sent, I received dozens of
00:09:41messages from people living in the BiH entity Republika Srpska,
00:09:45Serbs, who asked me to explain in more detail, I explained, such a
00:09:49schizophrenic policy, Dodik no longer just puts his hand in his pocket
00:09:53for himself, he doesn't take for himself, but this is really so, money that should
00:09:57build schools in Teslić in Banja Luka, in Prijedor, in
00:10:00Bijeljina in Bosnia and Herzegovina, all over, so Široki Brijeg,
00:10:04Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla, he sends to Albania and Montenegro, I don't
00:10:07see that this will change as long as these people are
00:10:11part of the government.
00:10:13Uh, precisely, here, it's an election year,
00:10:15a pre-election period,
00:10:19you say you don't believe in any improvement as long as, here,
00:10:22primarily SNSD is here,
00:10:25do you think at all that whoever
00:10:28is in power from the Bosniak people, is it
00:10:32possible to form and establish a government without SNSD,
00:10:36without potentially even HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, how do you see
00:10:40the distribution of the situation after
00:10:42the elections? Citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:10:46will decide on that, voters this time, thank
00:10:49God for much more democratic and fair elections
00:10:53which, you see, the reactions of these large ethnic parties who are bothered
00:10:56of course by the fact that it will no longer be possible to bring hundreds or
00:11:00thousands of ID cards, insert ballots in the name of
00:11:03those who do not live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and even in the name of those who have died
00:11:07and passed away, this is a system that I saw disturbed these
00:11:11ruling two-decade ruling
00:11:14elites here, they are showing justified fear because SNSD
00:11:18had a small test in RS when this
00:11:21Blanuša won, so they had to steal and barely stole. With a
00:11:25difference 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
00:11:32formally neither of them seems to exist, it will be
00:11:36truly imperative to form a pro-European government in Bosnia
00:11:39and Herzegovina, exclusively with the aim of improving the living
00:11:43conditions of citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I must constantly
00:11:46repeat, people, look at the examples of former Eastern Bloc
00:11:50countries, look at Poland which has
00:11:52drawn 250 billion euros from funds, from
00:11:56its agriculture it has become a world power, today it has
00:11:59a strong army, strong military, today people from Germany go to Poland to
00:12:03look for work, Bosnia and Herzegovina has that within reach, in
00:12:06Republika Srpska there are political parties with whom we will never
00:12:10agree on our history and past, but obviously it would be easier
00:12:14to agree on the future with the aim of keeping our children here,
00:12:17so uh SNSD owned by
00:12:20Putin, kamikazes who work for Russians not for Serbs,
00:12:24should not in any option be part of the government, HDZ, of course, if it
00:12:28insists and defends SNSD is
00:12:31ultimate, then everything should be done so that neither of them are there,
00:12:34of course it is complex, it is not simple and citizens of Bosnia and
00:12:37Herzegovina will decide on that, now that we are already mentioning that post-election
00:12:40period, uh, what are your expectations, it is becoming
00:12:44increasingly louder about a possible rapprochement with new
00:12:47political calculations between SDA and SDP, do you see
00:12:51in that an attempt to weaken the Troika, forming new
00:12:55blocs, do you even meet with partners from the Troika,
00:12:58with the presidents of parties, SDP and
00:13:01our party, what are the relations like now?
00:13:04What I see, which is completely evident and which is no longer hidden, of course, is what
00:13:08we all know, the reunification of the infamous
00:13:12Troika, uh SNSD, SDA, and HDZ,
00:13:15the president of SDA, Izetbegović, told us, Čović is a fixed point,
00:13:19HDZ is a fixed point, we must go with a victory. Indicating that SNSD
00:13:22would be a partner if it wins the elections in Republika Srpska, it
00:13:26completely relativizes and I can say normalizes, he is preparing
00:13:29a scenario as he has already announced, and that is the only
00:13:33visible rapprochement that is too dangerous for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:13:37The Troika has bothered everyone from the beginning, the Troika always has
00:13:40internal problems, we have disagreements, misunderstandings,
00:13:44we don't look at all processes the same way, but it has been shown,
00:13:47proven, a fundamental alternative to this existing
00:13:50system. So, within the Troika we had an operational meeting the other day
00:13:54in Sarajevo Canton with representatives of all parties,
00:13:58some important processes at all levels, they are still happening,
00:14:01ongoing, of course in the pre-election period now we are all more concerned with ourselves than
00:14:04with other things, I have no dilemma, it's no longer the Troika,
00:14:08I said, it's the Fourteen, at least, it's a large number of parties
00:14:12that have shown that only this side again has
00:14:16coalition capacity, because it has clear goals, because it has clear
00:14:19programs, because it has good people and... Of course, I keep repeating, we made
00:14:23mistakes, perhaps more than we should have, but that is incomparable to
00:14:27those who really did very bad
00:14:30things. We will certainly talk about those
00:14:34coalitions in this pre-election, but definitely in the
00:14:37post-election period, to talk a little more about the present,
00:14:40you recently participated in a ministerial meeting in Washington dedicated to
00:14:44political terrorism, what messages did Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:14:48receive from American partners, how much is the stability of the region
00:14:51actually threatened due to global influences and how
00:14:55do you generally view the relations between the United States of America
00:14:59and SNSD currently, given that
00:15:02we see that first sanctions were lifted
00:15:05on Milorad Dodik and close associates
00:15:08and companies, what messages did you receive then, I assume that you
00:15:12discussed outside the meeting itself with
00:15:15individual officials, what are the attitudes there?
00:15:19We talked and are constantly talking,
00:15:21I repeat that the United States of America is the most important foreign policy partner of Bosnia
00:15:25and Herzegovina and the creators of Dayton, people who
00:15:28helped the then and all subsequent administrations to prove and show
00:15:32possible peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina despite all complex problems. The time that Dayton
00:15:35brought us and that straitjacket which truly needs to be
00:15:39unpacked, it needs to be updated, it needs to be
00:15:42repackaged, I can today truly triumph because everything
00:15:45I say has been confirmed, although it was not easy at times,
00:15:48mostly because of politicians from Sarajevo who made Dodik a winner,
00:15:52when Dodik was the ruler of processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, here are the
00:15:56elections today, Dodik is not on the lists, he is still
00:15:59due to crime in the register in Banja Luka, he is listed
00:16:03as president of SNSD, and here we will insist that those responsible
00:16:06of course face certain sanctions,
00:16:10so America is committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is interested in
00:16:13processes, it will invest in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it supports integrity,
00:16:16sovereignty, this was an excellent opportunity, we talked about that political
00:16:20terrorism, I brought a picture of Milorad Dodik, when you open a textbook
00:16:24on political terrorism, there on the first page is his picture, who
00:16:28went from radical left to radical right-winger who insults
00:16:31victims of genocide who has no human manners, so
00:16:34we also talked, of course, a good part about him, but about everything that
00:16:38awaits us in relations, here Bosnia and Herzegovina will soon get an American
00:16:42ambassador, a man who is focused on dedicated, on military
00:16:45industry, where we have huge potential, that is another opportunity,
00:16:49you see now with the price of Gazprom that it is necessary, inevitable, to
00:16:52speed up the southern interconnection and everything that Dodik
00:16:56lied about in order to stay in power, turned out to be false, the sanctions remained,
00:16:59the decisions of the high representative are not erased. Pyer remains
00:17:02in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prosecution is working, the courts are working, I must
00:17:06remind once again, you remember him, he will forbid it, he will take over
00:17:10the borders, then he raises his hand for the budget in which the prosecution, the
00:17:13court, all other institutions had their salaries
00:17:17increased, working conditions improved, we should not give Dodik
00:17:20the importance he is given, he should be left where he belongs,
00:17:24what are your expectations from the new
00:17:27Ambassador of the United States of America in Bosnia and
00:17:31Herzegovina, how do you see him at all when
00:17:34it comes to the internal relations of Bosnia and
00:17:37Herzegovina, whose policies
00:17:41ambassador actually represent? Uh,
00:17:44now again on the scene is a new wave, uh,
00:17:46a new old new stance
00:17:49of the international community which says: it's okay, reduce
00:17:52international presence, don't let anyone make decisions
00:17:56from outside anymore, let local politicians agree for a while,
00:17:59I completely agree with that stance, I commented on it when
00:18:02it concerned the OHR, Dodik had some plans there, none of his
00:18:06plans of course materialized, this and
00:18:10I believe that the American ambassador will be in line with such policies
00:18:13together with his colleagues from the European Union and other important
00:18:16partners of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so it is really
00:18:20time, but I guarantee that again no one and never again will
00:18:23tolerate any new attempts, Dodik still has this secessionist
00:18:26narrative, he talks about how he would someday unite with Serbia,
00:18:29I invite him to return some of those laws to the National Assembly,
00:18:33to try formally with those secessionist activities he
00:18:37previously engaged in, you see he doesn't dare, you see he won't, and I think
00:18:40the American ambassador will focus on what is very important to us, that
00:18:44economic cooperation, investments, stability, of course
00:18:47are prerequisites, so no one, neither Dodik nor those like him, will be allowed to
00:18:51shake Bosnia and Herzegovina, but rather to talk about investments that
00:18:54will keep young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
00:18:58The politicians coming from SNSD are still vocal
00:19:02in commenting on the interference of politicians from the Federation
00:19:06in the relations in Republika Srpska, and now again
00:19:09uh, Minister of Finance Srđan Amidžić was actually
00:19:11putting pressure on the judge of the court in Banja Luka
00:19:15regarding the relationship between RTRS and BHRT, he claims
00:19:19that Bosniak politicians want to shut down RTRS by blocking
00:19:22accounts and leave only BHRT. What is
00:19:26the background of this financial and media blockade? We ourselves
00:19:29have witnessed a difficult situation for years
00:19:32regarding the state of BHRT. How do you
00:19:36now view this move, and these comments we've been
00:19:40hearing for days from SNSD politicians,
00:19:43what exactly is the problem here now?
00:19:46And they have a lot of problems piled up on them that
00:19:50they themselves have been creating for many years, so it's the other way around.
00:19:53RTRS is of course robbing BHRT, the public service,
00:19:57not fulfilling its obligations, stealing money from subscriptions, not transferring
00:20:01it where it should, and thank God in this case it shows
00:20:04that there is still a rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina to protect
00:20:07the institutions of this country, so it's the other way around, there's no talk
00:20:11of that, no one, we are more interested in
00:20:14the whole system functioning than that Amidžić, because it's a system
00:20:18of connected vessels, so I don't gloat
00:20:22over what is happening, because it affects Bosnia and Herzegovina, when
00:20:26Dodik finances schools in Albania with the money of the citizens
00:20:30of Republika Srpska, we pay the price, he doesn't give it to us either, because he has that
00:20:33destructive Dayton tool to block all of that. Remember,
00:20:37Republika Srpska owes a lot of money to the Federation, now that
00:20:40judgment will come soon, this is why Amidžić does not allow discussion at the
00:20:44management board of the Indirect Taxation Authority, now that will come,
00:20:47so all debts at high interest rates are coming
00:20:51due, and they are of course in a problem that is
00:20:54unsolvable, and that is why the rhetoric is so astonishing, because it is election
00:20:58time, it is very good that people in Republika Srpska finally
00:21:02realize who these fraudsters from SNSD are.
00:21:05Yes, it's summer vacation, after returning from vacation
00:21:09comes the pre-election campaign, preparations for the elections,
00:21:12we assume there's no more time to do anything special,
00:21:15however, ministers, and the chairperson, somehow constantly comment on the situation in Bosnia and
00:21:21Herzegovina, those some of their positions, what else
00:21:25interests me, information appeared that the advisor
00:21:28of the chairperson of the Council of Ministers of BiH received severance pay, then he was
00:21:32re-employed in the same position, so are you aware of how much state
00:21:36institutions provide opportunities for such malversations, such
00:21:39spending and disposal of the budget, since
00:21:43we witness that many politicians who still sit in
00:21:46parliamentary benches already retired a few years ago and then
00:21:50actually returned to the political scene?
00:21:53I really haven't seen that case of an advisor taking severance pay
00:21:57and then returning to an advisory position, it's not the first,
00:22:00unfortunately probably not the last either, so the question of attitude towards those
00:22:03commodities and the question of personal character, so that is probably
00:22:07legal, I don't want to
00:22:09accuse other people now, there are
00:22:11many who have done that, this, I can answer for everything
00:22:15I personally do, uh, no one else
00:22:19when it comes to ethics, when it comes to law, of course we are all very
00:22:22strict, anyone who violates any regulation, any
00:22:25act, any law should, needs to be held accountable with
00:22:29the worst sanctions, to be punished. But this issue of ethics
00:22:33is really something that is of an individual nature, I know how
00:22:37I live, how I treat public money, how I spend public
00:22:40money, that is very verifiable, anyone who wants can see it every
00:22:44day. We talked about it.
00:22:47najgorim sankcijama da bude kažnjen. ali ovo pitanje etičnosti
00:22:51zaista je nešto što je individualne naravi, ja znam kako
00:22:54ja živim, kako se odnosim prema javnom novcu, kako trošim javni
00:22:58novac to je vrlo provjerljivo, ko god želi i može se to uvjeriti svaki
00:23:01just now with these
00:23:04post-election coalitions, agreements,
00:23:07possibilities. Seven days ago, Ramo Isak, the Minister
00:23:11of Internal Affairs of the Federation, was with us in the studio and said that
00:23:15it was agreed that he would be offered the position of Minister
00:23:18of Security in the next mandate that... do you have information about that, do you know
00:23:22with whom it was eventually agreed upon,
00:23:24negotiated?
00:23:26Mm, I don't, I really wasn't part of such conversations,
00:23:30I didn't talk to anyone about it, not even with Ramo Isak,
00:23:33so there are still no grounds or conditions for that,
00:23:37the government will be formed by those who will be in a position to do so, the outcome
00:23:41is expected, of course, from the presidency which appoints the prime minister of the council
00:23:44of ministers, up to the composition of the House of Representatives, and that is very important, so
00:23:48we will not allow it to be done in the way Ćović and Zedbegović
00:23:52advocate, that only the House of Peoples is important, that the government is formed only by those
00:23:56who have that ethnic, ethnic
00:23:58advantage, so to speak, in such a way the foundations of Bosnia and
00:24:02Herzegovina are being attacked, at least the one I fought for, multi-ethnic, in
00:24:06which there must be much more civic, with, of course, the
00:24:09protection of the ethnic, but that ethnic cannot be so dominant,
00:24:13both of them said, whoever has a majority in the House of Peoples, will form the government,
00:24:17the government will be formed by whoever has the votes in the House of Representatives, which
00:24:20confirms that council of ministers, so the structure of the
00:24:24House of Peoples will, of course, be important, but not the ultimate only
00:24:28important one. Finally, let's touch upon the
00:24:31problems of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically
00:24:34workers, transporters in Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, by extension
00:24:38the entire economy and industry of our country. Transporters in
00:24:42BiH are demanding urgent solutions, warning that September could actually
00:24:46bring blockades, huge blows to business, the economy due to...
00:24:50unregulated status and waiting at the borders that they are witnessing,
00:24:53and thus actually also being turned back from the borders
00:24:56and arrests that they have faced.
00:24:59Do we have a plan now? Have you, as the
00:25:02Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, discussed this with
00:25:06representatives of European Union countries? Croatia has amended
00:25:09the visa law, however, certain
00:25:12bylaws are awaited for it to come into force, but what about other
00:25:16European Union countries? What are your expectations
00:25:20from the sessions of European officials that await us in
00:25:23September, which the transporters themselves are actually
00:25:27looking forward to, so that they know their own status and
00:25:30next steps.
00:25:33Uh, that's a justified topic, a topic in focus, it's really very important for the economy and
00:25:37it's really a big blow to not only the people who work in
00:25:41this industry, in this branch, but to the entire economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:25:45unfortunately Europe has its own rules, that's one more
00:25:48reason for people to understand that in elections
00:25:51only those who drive towards that European Union, because if we were
00:25:55inside, our drivers would be protected, others would
00:25:59pay the price, they wouldn't be able to enter a system in which our
00:26:02industry is protected, these are benefits we can
00:26:06achieve if there are people in
00:26:10positions who understand this issue, not those who
00:26:13falsely pose with drivers and then block
00:26:16all European regulations, European laws. We still have two
00:26:20technical laws left to formally elect
00:26:23the chief negotiator and start negotiations, that, of course, we
00:26:26expect by the elections. Transporters
00:26:29actually don't have time to wait, elections are soon. There is no solution, Bosnia and
00:26:33Herzegovina does not decide on that, so I dedicated at least
00:26:37a third of all my meetings in the last year to that issue, I talked to
00:26:40everyone, the European Union has not shown even a millimeter of
00:26:43understanding. Croatia, this is what was commendable, has really made a step forward in the Law
00:26:47on Foreigners that should and will, I
00:26:51believe, help our transporters, so that they can
00:26:54stay long enough to do their jobs, that no one will
00:26:58arrest them anymore, they can more easily get visas that guarantee it to them, that was
00:27:02one really positive thing, which I directly discussed many times
00:27:05with Prime Minister Plenković and Minister Radman, Minister
00:27:09Božinović, we knew when the first and second readings
00:27:12were in the parliament, because it is very important, other countries have not shown that
00:27:16readiness, and what is very important, it's not just for drivers from Bosnia and
00:27:20Herzegovina, it's the attitude of the European Union
00:27:23towards all those who are not members of the European Union. The problem is even worse
00:27:27and bigger, this entry and exit system at
00:27:29the borders, because of which the European economy suffers, because a large number of
00:27:33citizens do not go to those large queues and crossings, so Europe
00:27:37slowly realizes that it is not functional, that it harms
00:27:40them, but decisions are made in Brussels, and I think that those special
00:27:44individual decisions towards any of the countries will
00:27:46not happen. Yes, thank you very much for your time and for
00:27:50being our guest today live. Thank you
00:27:54and a big
00:27:55hello.

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