00:00:04Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met on Tuesday
00:00:08in Kyiv with former American professional boxer Terence
00:00:11Crawford, who gave him a puppy named Freya as a sign
00:00:14of solidarity with Ukraine. Footage released by the press service
00:00:18of the Ukrainian president shows the undefeated former world champion
00:00:21handing a puppy of an American pit bull terrier to Zelensky
00:00:25during a meeting in the presidential office.
00:00:29According to Zelensky's Telegram, Fren Dedatos
00:00:32survived the Russian occupation of Bucha, a city near
00:00:35Kyiv, which became a symbol of Russian war
00:00:39crimes at the beginning of the war. Zelensky stated that the puppy was named after the future
00:00:43anti-aircraft defense system Freya as a symbol
00:00:46of our protection. As it was said, during the meeting
00:00:49the Ukrainian president addressed Crawford and spoke about the victory
00:00:52his country
00:00:54needs.
00:00:59We know who you are. We know about your victories, and we in Ukraine
00:01:02need a victory, but one, one big
00:01:05victory that is important to us because that is the way to
00:01:07survive.
00:01:12That's all for sports news, don't forget that all other sports news can be found
00:01:15on our portal n1info.Ba, thank you for your attention, goodbye.
00:02:03The president of HDZ 1990, delegate
00:02:06in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina Ilija Civitanović, our
00:02:10first guest today, from the request for changes to the election law, through
00:02:14reactions to the resolution of the Croatian Parliament on the position of Croats in BiH, to
00:02:17a fierce polemic with Sloven Kovačević and the criminal complaint that followed
00:02:21after his statements about the verdict in the Prlić and others case,
00:02:25are topics that we will discuss in the next few minutes. Good day
00:02:28and welcome. Good day. Thank you for the invitation, there have been many reactions
00:02:32these days, or rather for several months, how good it is that
00:02:35HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina finally got serious
00:02:39competition, but on the other hand, there are also remarks, actually that
00:02:42group of five, perhaps even more right-wing than
00:02:46Čović's HDZ, how do you comment on that? Well,
00:02:50I don't know what is right-wing, it's not difficult to be more right-wing than Čović's
00:02:53HDZ, so the group of five is a group of political
00:02:56parties that come from the Croatian corpus.
00:03:00Center-right with very clear state-building stances when it comes to
00:03:04Bosnia and Herzegovina, with very clear stances on
00:03:07the organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, equality of constituent
00:03:10peoples, preserving our history, our
00:03:14heritage, what we are in Bosnia and
00:03:18Herzegovina, three constituent peoples with different
00:03:21faiths, not wishing to be against anyone, we are
00:03:24inclusive, we are not against
00:03:27any, if that is right-wing then we are right-wing, so. So, in my opinion, we are
00:03:30the political center-right that preserves our
00:03:34tradition, that preserves our customs, what the Croatian people
00:03:37have cultivated and lived for centuries in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:03:40state-building, and I think that is the correct political path and
00:03:44political direction. When you draw a line, what is the fundamental
00:03:48difference between HDZ, BIH and this
00:03:51group of five? Well, HDZ, BIH has been ruling for 25,
00:03:5430 years, their president perhaps even 50 years manages significant
00:03:58resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he has shown that
00:04:02in various ways push those he is not capable, that he cannot solve key national issues, that he cannot
00:04:05stop the exodus of Croats and all other citizens from Bosnia and
00:04:09Herzegovina, that it is full of clientelism,
00:04:12nepotism, corruption, so we come from a completely different
00:04:15spectrum, we are younger significantly, at least by
00:04:1820 years, we have not had the opportunity to show
00:04:22what we know, and in these elections we united to
00:04:25jointly offer ourselves to the Croatian people in Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:04:29to enable them. to choose, they will choose
00:04:32how they think it is better for them, we offer ourselves and we have shown by our
00:04:35agreement that we are ready for compromise, for agreement,
00:04:39that is the path we want this country to take, through agreement, through
00:04:42compromise, and we believe that we can do much better, that we can be more qualitative,
00:04:46that we can be more honest, that we can be more humane, that we can be more inclusive, that we will not be
00:04:49alienated, that we will simply live our
00:04:53political life in a different way, it is difficult to look for
00:04:56differences in some national topics, the election law
00:05:00of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I expect that every responsible Croat who
00:05:03is involved in public affairs tries through his conscience to come to
00:05:07a position on what is best for Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We defined
00:05:11it in the way we defined it and we stand behind it, you mentioned
00:05:14the election law, what else besides the election law, which is
00:05:18according to many opinions today the biggest problem, actually, what are the other
00:05:21challenges that you put before the group of five, at the same
00:05:25level, nothing less, stopping
00:05:28the exodus, emigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:05:31motivating return, especially of young people in
00:05:34this difficult time in Western Europe, when
00:05:38people want to return, but simply there is no
00:05:41sense of a returnee climate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, no sense that
00:05:45Bosnia and Herzegovina in its legislation, in its arrangement, in
00:05:49its agreement, in relations within Bosnia and Herzegovina has moved
00:05:52even a little forward for these people to make that final step,
00:05:56i.e., the final decision to return, that will definitely be one of
00:06:00the more important topics along with the election law, not after, but along with
00:06:03the election law, the fight against crime, corruption for an independent
00:06:07judiciary which is under political
00:06:10influence, honor to individuals not to generalize, but
00:06:14the judiciary starts the liberation of all
00:06:17other segments of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so we have no
00:06:21influence on the judiciary, nor do we seek it, nor do we want
00:06:24to have it, but we want through changes to all laws that
00:06:28relate to the judiciary, including the HJPC and the court which is constantly
00:06:31being adopted, we want to free that judiciary
00:06:34from political influence, no, I don't need to, I am sure the public
00:06:38to explain that today the judiciary is under absolute political
00:06:41influence. that indictments are flying against
00:06:44political dissidents, that it is simply the
00:06:48worst thing in Bosnia and Herzegovina at this moment and from which
00:06:51the recovery of this society should begin, that is the fight
00:06:55for a free judiciary, that is the first segment in negotiations,
00:06:59the first cluster of negotiations with the European Union, that's why they are not
00:07:01opening, because if you had an independent judiciary, billions
00:07:05have disappeared from this country in the past
00:07:0830 years, so let the rule of law function, let it condemn all those
00:07:12who are guilty of it, even if it is someone from our ranks, it doesn't
00:07:16matter, it only matters that there is no selective approach, that there is
00:07:19a transparent and equal approach to everyone. We will talk about the European path, I would like
00:07:23to dwell a little more on this issue of the position of Croats in
00:07:26BiH, you welcomed the resolution of the Croatian Parliament on the political
00:07:29empowerment of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I want to ask you
00:07:32a concrete thing, how much was that resolution
00:07:36really produced by the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, how much by the desire of some parties
00:07:39in Croatia to further show themselves.
00:07:43Well, I think that, if you want to weigh it, the
00:07:46desire for
00:07:49the fight for a better position of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina prevails. I know
00:07:53many authors and I socialize, so I will be free to say
00:07:57that I partly participated in creating that resolution from its very
00:08:01beginning with the aim
00:08:03of stabilizing the political situation in Bosnia and
00:08:07Herzegovina, not direct interference, but a message to Croats
00:08:10in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Croatian Parliament
00:08:13stands behind you, just as we in '94 and
00:08:17'95 directed you or even worked on
00:08:20your behalf, agreed on such an organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we
00:08:24accept that, we are aware of that and as guarantors
00:08:27of that, we stand behind you, we will provide support for you to reach
00:08:30an agreement within Bosnia and Herzegovina that will stabilize
00:08:34political relations, especially in the federation, I
00:08:37guarantee that this is not against Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is not against Bosniaks,
00:08:41it is not against Serbs. I regret that the resolution does not yet have a paragraph
00:08:45that speaks about the entity Republika Srpska, about the position
00:08:48of Croats in Republika Srpska, which is catastrophic, why is that part missing, I don't know
00:08:52why it is missing, I suggested it in the final, it was modified
00:08:55several times, it was supposed to be found, so it was an agreement within the coalition with
00:08:59HDZ, DP and other political
00:09:02entities and perhaps the influence of HDZ from Mostar
00:09:06eliminated that part, do you mean that the closeness of SNSD and
00:09:10HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina produced that that part is not
00:09:13mentioned, very possible, very possible that it was so, but
00:09:16I repeat, despite that, the resolution is
00:09:19a document against which only one member of parliament in the Croatian Parliament
00:09:23voted, which shows that there are no left or right, nor
00:09:26those in the center, who do not recognize the relations in Bosnia and
00:09:30Herzegovina, who have not understood that support is needed,
00:09:32I would not say classic interference, and from the first day
00:09:36I recognize the importance of such a resolution adopted in that way
00:09:39in contrast to those from HDZ BiH, the president of the Federation
00:09:43said, a few days before the adoption of the resolution, until the
00:09:47order came from Zagreb to support it, that no one should
00:09:50interfere in Bosnia and Herzegovina, let the actors within Bosnia and Herzegovina agree, so why
00:09:54didn't you agree for 25 years, you see that you have neither the will nor the strength to
00:09:58agree, this resolution is for me an incentive for political
00:10:01representatives of both Bosniaks and Croats, especially these two
00:10:05nations, you have friends in us, sit down,
00:10:08agree, solve it, we will support you. on the European
00:10:11path to the solution of that important for Croats, but especially for Bosnia and
00:10:15Herzegovina, there were attempts to solve it, it's not that it wasn't
00:10:18truly in the last mandate, no, but in some earlier
00:10:21period it never really came to a final solution,
00:10:25everyone who would try to make a compromise on
00:10:28one side or the other was declared a traitor in advance,
00:10:31do you think that, given that it certainly won't
00:10:35be solved before the elections, after the elections there are some options, some
00:10:39forces that can sit at the same table and agree on something that
00:10:43at this moment seems to be the biggest problem, not only of the federation, but
00:10:46completely of the relations between Bosniaks and Croats of BiH, if
00:10:50we start from the premise and if we put forward the thesis that
00:10:54the relations between Croats and Bosniaks are the key to the stability of Bosnia and
00:10:57Herzegovina, the key to the Euro-Atlantic path of Bosnia and Herzegovina, if
00:11:01we have elections in a month and if we know that we will
00:11:04continue to wallow in political mud if we do not solve these key issues, and
00:11:08if some more are needed along with this election law, then
00:11:12I am sure that the citizens in these elections will understand that it is
00:11:15the moment when perhaps someone else should be given the opportunity who will
00:11:19have the strength to make such a difficult decision and
00:11:22be ready for criticism from a part
00:11:25of the hypocritical public that intentionally creates such an environment,
00:11:29trying to already in advance label as traitors all those who
00:11:32want a minimum of compromise, do you mean that the situation would be
00:11:35more relaxed if in the elections for the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:11:39a member of the group of five or a member, i.e., a candidate
00:11:42of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, won, that would be a much better situation for everyone in
00:11:46Bosnia and Herzegovina, now I don't know how the Central Election Commission
00:11:50will react, we have seven or eight more days until the campaign, we started talking about penalties, not
00:11:53talking about the campaign. we are talking about what could, therefore,
00:11:57a contract on the election law, which is crucial in the candidate,
00:12:01i.e., in the member of the Presidency for me, is that he is recognized
00:12:05as a legitimate Croat
00:12:08who has proven himself throughout his life, his work, his
00:12:12participation in the Homeland War and as a state-building
00:12:14Bosnian-Herzegovinian, that is the candidate we offer, who
00:12:18is not against anyone, who is for, but people, we must
00:12:22get excited, we must understand what it is that is
00:12:26less in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that costs no one anything, but there is
00:12:29fear, a few days ago information appeared,
00:12:33allegedly, if the candidate of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina and
00:12:37SNSD enter the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that there
00:12:40is already an alleged agreement that Milorad Dodik will be pardoned
00:12:44and after that take over the function of Prime Minister of Republika
00:12:46Srpska, that is something that is obviously feared in some
00:12:50circles of the public in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but that
00:12:54public is continuously afraid of some potential conspiracies,
00:12:58I really don't know what these two candidates can do, I know what
00:13:01an independent, probably and certainly would do
00:13:05a candidate of the group of five if he were in the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:13:08everything that is against the interests of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:13:12he would be against it, everything that is in the interest of the Croatian people,
00:13:16he would absolutely advocate for it and would be a defender
00:13:19of the interests of the people and the state, and what others will do, they have shown
00:13:23in the past 20, 30 years. "how they will behave, what they will
00:13:26do, the candidate we support is certainly not against
00:13:30anyone, but will always be proactive, offer solutions,
00:13:33offer a better standard, a better life, they say he is not competent to comment on this or that
00:13:37topic, well, a member of the presidency by his authority is competent to speak
00:13:41about all public matters in society, of course he should speak about the judiciary
00:13:44and about ideologies and what was 30 years ago, because the public
00:13:48must know who they are dealing with, about the legitimate
00:13:51representation of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Gordan Grlić Radman
00:13:55and MEP Željana Zovko have spoken out these days,
00:13:59who proposes the Belgian model as a principle
00:14:02solution to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, how do you
00:14:06comment on that proposal, specifically, well, I don't want to comment on
00:14:10any individual proposal the elections, especially from people who had
00:14:14the opportunity through their political parties to do so, do you mean
00:14:18that in the campaign,
00:14:21that whoever has been ruling for 25 years, and among Croats it is HDZ of Bosnia
00:14:25and Herzegovina, if they offer Belgian,
00:14:28Swiss, any solutions a month before the elections, it is only for
00:14:32the elections, it is not for solutions, so we
00:14:35simply as a group of parties will not have
00:14:37a partner who is not ready to do these
00:14:40solutions,
00:14:42Ranko Madrak a few days ago proposes that the condition for establishing power after the October
00:14:46elections should be precisely the election law, why not,
00:14:50would you act in that way, why not, it is time,
00:14:53so, we don't need conditions. but it is obvious that, but in the
00:14:57previous mandate there were no conditions, so no agreement was reached, although
00:15:00we nominally had the guarantee of the president of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina that
00:15:04the Government of the Federation would not be formed until the election law
00:15:08was amended, six months after its formation, then in 15 days, then in
00:15:1120, then thousands of days passed, nothing was done, why not
00:15:15that, why not use all democratic
00:15:18tools to convince the other to act wrongly, to act
00:15:22badly, to act correctly for this country, people, I...
00:15:25"I call on the public to understand that nothing will change
00:15:28if Croats had dominant influence, well, 100% cannot
00:15:32vote for someone ever, but dominant influence
00:15:34the possibility of complete pluralism, so we..." today
00:15:37we do not have a situation among Croats where someone
00:15:40calls the candidate we support a traitor because of his
00:15:43background, because of his national responsibility, because
00:15:47of his political and military actions, that was the goal
00:15:50of that, to have the fact that when he appeared,
00:15:54a good part of Bosniaks specifically
00:15:57saw hope in him and gave support, then that
00:16:00story changed in the meantime precisely because of what we talked about at the beginning,
00:16:04that the group of five went, it seems, too far.
00:16:08The group of five is where it needs to be, that story is very relative, we are
00:16:11HDZ 90 is center-right, these are our traditional Christian
00:16:15values that we advocate for and that are defined by our
00:16:19declarations, our statute, that is the political framework in which we
00:16:22move, we don't go too far in one direction or too far
00:16:26in the other, but the candidate is not against anyone, he is welcome
00:16:29to everyone, and of course he will primarily
00:16:33advocate for Croatian interests, that he will defend the state, state interests,
00:16:37of course that is implied, but if someone
00:16:39creates a perception, with the aim
00:16:43of helping someone else, and we have
00:16:4516 years of experience, what it means when someone like that
00:16:48sits in the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not only will we not take
00:16:52a step forward, it will be even more steps backward, wallowing in mud, not
00:16:56solving the problem of emigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina, we do not want
00:16:59to participate in that, when you mention the third, you had a conflict with
00:17:03the media, through social networks with
00:17:06Slavjan Ačević, candidate of the Democratic Front for a member
00:17:10of the Presidency from the Croatian people, how do you
00:17:13comment on being accused of spreading hate
00:17:16speech? I have said a lot, I have never had
00:17:20a conflict or discussion with that gentleman, I don't want to,
00:17:23so, but it is some kind of media bickering, the first thing
00:17:27I would ask him and recommend to him is to
00:17:30allow people to live freely with electricity and water
00:17:34in the apartment where that family lives with...
00:17:3780 years old below him, let him explain
00:17:41to the public how in the municipality he belongs
00:17:44to, in the past period changed ownership,
00:17:48he had ownership rights to one floor, he, to one floor that
00:17:52family, how did he exchange that, why do those people today live in the center
00:17:56of Sarajevo without electricity and water, let him explain that to the public and then let him
00:17:59fight for justice, if you don't respect
00:18:02universal justice, the right to a normal life, how will
00:18:06you represent anyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is a deception
00:18:10of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is not even against Croats, that is
00:18:13primarily against Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is the influence of someone else to
00:18:17further destabilize the relations between Croats and Bosniaks in
00:18:20the federation, and I repeat for the third time, that is the key to the Euro-Atlantic
00:18:24path of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I will return to the issue
00:18:28we discussed last time when we talked about this topic,
00:18:31which is two against one when it comes to the race for
00:18:35the Presidency, i.e., for the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the ranks
00:18:38of Croats, do you think that in that struggle the one on
00:18:42the other side will win because of this situation in which I don't
00:18:46think about it, but we thought intensively about what to do
00:18:50as responsible people, self-aware people what
00:18:53to do and our final decision which we absolutely
00:18:57stand behind is that the Croatian people must have the possibility of choice, they have
00:19:00the possibility of choice between an independent candidate Vučić and
00:19:03the candidate of HDZ of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The third candidate does not exist for us. is
00:19:07an option, I don't want to count blood cells, he doesn't
00:19:11represent national interests, he doesn't represent state-building interests, we don't
00:19:15fear scenarios, we believe that the candidate we support will achieve
00:19:18such a result, win the elections and finally that Croats in
00:19:22the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina will have a person
00:19:25of stature, of authority, of dignity, of
00:19:29a respectable past, of a formed and complete person
00:19:32who does not need material wealth, the man is formed, he has finished all his
00:19:36financial needs. "He needs peace, a man who has stepped out of
00:19:39his comfort and offered himself, so I am sure that we will not be in that
00:19:43situation at all, but again the crucial thing, we have not systematically
00:19:46solved the issue of electing members of the presidency, as long as
00:19:49we do not systematically solve this, we have not done the job, whoever is
00:19:53elected, that must be the first topic and we will use all democratic
00:19:56tools at our disposal to achieve that, and the state should
00:20:00of course continue to function, we saw what happened in
00:20:03the previous two years, blockades, blockades, blockades, except for the budget..."
00:20:07almost nothing concrete was adopted in the Parliament of Bosnia and
00:20:11Herzegovina, do you think that a similar principle will be
00:20:14continued after the October elections, even when
00:20:18a new government is established, if the forces that are currently
00:20:21dominant continue to do the same thing?
00:20:25To expect different effects is illusory, it is not possible, so if the same
00:20:29people continue to manage processes, make decisions, of course you
00:20:32must expect the same scenarios, the same situation, blockades,
00:20:36stagnation, emigration. Riots, dissatisfaction,
00:20:40apathy, depression in society, that's why there are elections, it's once every four
00:20:43years when citizens have the opportunity, only that day they decide, how much
00:20:47do you think that the application of modern
00:20:50technologies will affect the elections, which will definitely be at all
00:20:54polling stations on October 4th, will that
00:20:58significantly change
00:21:01the election results from what we had in previous years? Well,
00:21:04I sincerely believe that it will drastically affect the election
00:21:07results, and according to some of my
00:21:11unproven estimates that I get from the field, no
00:21:14less than 20% lower result
00:21:17just because of new
00:21:20election technologies for parties that have been ruling for years in Bosnia
00:21:24and Herzegovina, these three key ones, I won't repeat them, I don't want to mention them anymore,
00:21:27so it will certainly affect the election result, and what is particularly
00:21:31important for everyone in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is that now no one
00:21:34should stay at home, because they can be sure that that
00:21:38vote, as they mark it, will be realized as that
00:21:42voter wished, polling station committees will not be able to change the will
00:21:45of the voters, so I am sure that it will drastically and significantly
00:21:49affect the results themselves, the voting
00:21:52process, the desire of voters to go to the polls, because no one
00:21:55will steal from them what is very valuable, which is their
00:21:59electoral will and the decision of that voter for whom they want
00:22:03to govern Bosnia and Herzegovina for the next four years. Mr. Cvitanović, I want
00:22:06to comment on one more topic, it concerns the OHR
00:22:09office, there is no agreement on the election of a new High Representative in Bosnia and
00:22:13Herzegovina, however, when all is said and done, things are moving forward
00:22:17even without a High Representative and with him. "We are in a crisis, so in
00:22:21a crisis, is that actually an indicator that
00:22:24this country can function even without foreign tutors? You have set the
00:22:28thesis well, so nothing significant has happened since Christian Schmidt
00:22:32left and we have an Acting High Representative, so,
00:22:36problems, problems, problems, misunderstanding, tough
00:22:39political struggle, this country must definitely start
00:22:43functioning without international influence and without a High Representative, and
00:22:46without foreign judges in the Constitutional Court, but for that it must..."
00:22:50fulfill several very small prerequisites, very small
00:22:53things, it must adopt a law on state property, it must regulate that
00:22:57area, it must show the international community that
00:22:59it is a partner that fulfills its obligations,
00:23:03the High Representative will not leave until the international
00:23:06community says to leave, but if politics is to be conducted
00:23:09in the way it has been conducted for the past 4, 8, 12
00:23:12years, the High Representative here, whoever
00:23:16comes, will definitely reach old age, because with these
00:23:19political actors, this progress, which is necessary for the
00:23:23international community, will not happen, saying these people have shown
00:23:26credibility, they don't need a foreign tutor, they can manage processes themselves and
00:23:30make decisions. In the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:23:33several attempts were made to find a solution to at least partially
00:23:35abolish excise duties on fuel because of this crisis we are facing,
00:23:39there was no political agreement, there was no
00:23:42understanding. On the other hand, Bosnia and Herzegovina is for
00:23:4625 years, only 250
00:23:49km of highway were built, all this cost more than two billion
00:23:52euros, not convertible marks, but euros, then
00:23:56the question arises where does that money from excises
00:24:00that citizens have been paying since 2018, if
00:24:02I'm not mistaken, incredibly, you listed that well, so Croatia has
00:24:061600 I think kilometers
00:24:09of highways, Bosnia and Herzegovina in both entities has as much as
00:24:13you said in the past four years, I don't know if even
00:24:16one meter of highway has been built.
00:24:20Just a few days ago, 7 km on corridor
00:24:235c, which has been under construction for eight years, which has been under construction for eight years,
00:24:27so much money, I had a parliamentary question about where
00:24:30the huge billions ended up, I never got an answer,
00:24:34an answer as to where that huge money ended up and why that
00:24:37highway is being built, the money simply
00:24:40ends up in budgets, and from the budgets,
00:24:44either individuals or private companies loyal
00:24:47to political structures are satisfied. which then
00:24:52individuals both politically and individually,
00:24:55financing all their activities, so that money
00:24:58ends up where there is no benefit for citizens. You mentioned
00:25:02fuel excises, well, isn't it a shame that those 30
00:25:06fenigs, which would not significantly affect the revenues
00:25:09of the Indirect Taxation Authority which are growing much more than
00:25:13planned, that parliament accepted to abolish it and that
00:25:16fuel would be 30 fenigs cheaper. But let's go
00:25:20further, what about our terminals in Ploče? The State Audit
00:25:24cannot enter that company, see who are
00:25:27these people who have been managing for years, from which political
00:25:30option they come, who is the president of the supervisory board, the secretary general of a
00:25:34party, to see why we do not
00:25:37enable competition, diversification through that port,
00:25:41why oil comes to us all
00:25:44the time, uh, sanctions against Russia, we all the time, as far as I have information, we use that oil
00:25:47through Ploče in Bosnia and Herzegovina, why
00:25:51don't we remove tariffs of 10% for
00:25:54oil from other areas that is imported, in that way
00:25:58we would reduce the price of fuel to 2.5 marks, but there is no political will.
00:26:02There are no individuals who are ready to roll up their sleeves and
00:26:05work, if the people are satisfied with that, great, as
00:26:09far as I'm concerned, let them continue, we are not satisfied and that's why we are participating in the elections in
00:26:13this way, let's see what the citizens will say on October 4th, thank
00:26:16you very much for being our guest, thank you for talking about these topics, thank you for
00:26:20the invitation. Ilija Cvitanović, president of HDZ
00:26:231990 was with us in the previous minutes, we will go to
00:26:26commercials briefly, then Berko Zečević will join us here in
00:26:29the studio.

00:27:08do
00:27:12better, everything starts from how you look at

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