00:00:00to be, and that's why, in 2016, I realized that I
00:00:04couldn't be an accomplice in that kind
00:00:07of betrayal of opposition voters and Republika Srpska,
00:00:10and that's why I decided to run, even though I knew
00:00:14that I was against everyone and didn't have much of a chance, but
00:00:18I had to at least tell the truth to the people, how things really are,
00:00:21and you saw that last night, Milorad Dodik gave an interview in which he
00:00:24confirmed, and today, I called them out, and Branko Blanuša and Draško
00:00:28Stanivuković are silent. He said that before the elections, he talked
00:00:32to them, and we understood that in the final
00:00:36stage of the campaign, he secretly met with Branko Blanuša and Draško Stanivuković, and that they
00:00:40reached an agreement that they would enter power together at the level of Bosnia and
00:00:43Herzegovina, and that he respects that part
00:00:46of the agreement, and you cannot defeat Dodik if you fight him with people who
00:00:50secretly make deals with him. That's all done under orders from Belgrade. Branko Blanuša
00:00:54is a former progressive. I entered into a conflict that I haven't talked about for months
00:00:58sukob nikada ne pričam već mjeseci.
00:01:00with the former president of the SDS, acting Ovica
00:01:04Radlović, and with Nešković, precisely because of the appointment
00:01:07of Branko Vlanuša as president of the SDS and giving him candidacy. I said that someone who was in
00:01:11the polygraph of Igor Radojičić's satellite party
00:01:15for Milorad Dodik and who was a progressive of Aleksandar Vučić cannot lead the opposition. That person
00:01:18will not have any control. That's a big mistake, and
00:01:22unfortunately, time has shown that I was right, and it's sad that
00:01:26not 10 days after the elections, it became clear that everything I said was true, that
00:01:30a large part of the opposition
00:01:33is in agreement, playing games with Milorad Dodik,
00:01:36that's why Milorad Dodik survives, that he gives them
00:01:39crumbs, and as
00:01:42long as we don't have people who are clean, who have no
00:01:45cooperation or connection with Milorad Dodik and Vučić, only then can we
00:01:49win. That's why we strongly support the student movement in Serbia,
00:01:52because if Vučić were defeated in Belgrade on October
00:01:5525th, that would be a severe blow
00:01:58to Milorad Dodik's system, who thinks he's relaxed now,
00:02:02but believe me, he's very fragile, and it doesn't take much
00:02:06for everything to collapse, just one month's delayed salary or for the
00:02:09system to break or for him to lose levers of power and the support he has from Belgrade,
00:02:13and I sincerely hope that the students will resist temptations
00:02:17and great pressures and win on October 25th, because that would
00:02:20fundamentally change the relations of political forces in Republika
00:02:24Srpska. Yes, we will talk more about that, but let's go back to these
00:02:28current topics. I... I listened to that interview in
00:02:31which it seemed to me that
00:02:34Dodik was offering the opposition in Republika Srpska to be in the government,
00:02:38both in the government of Republika Srpska and in the Council
00:02:42of Ministers. Do you think they will accept
00:02:46to enter the government with Dodik?
00:02:50Well, he offers to everyone but us. He said only not with Vukanović, neither he wants nor can
00:02:53we be with him. So he understands that we don't want power or positions
00:02:57at any cost, that if we cared about power, about influence, about positions, about money,
00:03:01we would probably know how to compromise. I think that
00:03:04the silence of Branko Blanuša and Draško Stanivuković confirms
00:03:07that what Dodik said is true, and now they are
00:03:10bargaining. If they don't want to go alone, Dodik has his
00:03:14people in another organization. If Draško goes alone, the entire PSS will go
00:03:18into power, then this small group, four or five deputies,
00:03:21will enter and split the PSS in half. It's similar with the SDS, in which he
00:03:25has people with whom he cooperates, these are Darko Babalj and
00:03:28Marinko Božević and that... team
00:03:31to whom he enables to remain in power in Eastern Lika, that they rule there
00:03:35with his consent. Bošović thanked him by
00:03:38sinking him in every election and the opposition candidates lost. He gave him DNS's
00:03:42Nešić to be a coalition partner. Simply, what
00:03:45he did, he remains in power thanks to
00:03:49undermining and sabotaging the opposition. Sometimes it was the late Mićo Mičić,
00:03:52the SDS in Bijeljina was saved by Ljubiša Petrović, now these people who saved the SDS
00:03:56instead of raising a monument to him, they expel him from the party. His
00:04:00wonderful Prvić, who was his
00:04:04opponent, and Dragan Čavić and Mićo Vičić and Nenad Stevandić and
00:04:07Darko Banjica and Borislav Bojić and Milan Tubin
00:04:11and Babić and Ognjan Tadić and Dragan Kalinić,
00:04:14well, three presidents of the SDS are now in the embrace of Milorad Dodik, his closest
00:04:18associates and advisors, and his entire coalition,
00:04:22so-called coalition, those trailers are people, look, Banjavic was in
00:04:26the SDS, Stevandić was in the SDS, not to mention Čavić was in the SDS. So,
00:04:30he survives by luring someone from the SDS into his trap in every election,
00:04:34giving them some positions, a little money, and power, and they betray
00:04:37opposition voters. That's been happening for 20 years, it's all
00:04:41happening, unfortunately, with
00:04:43enormous support and winds blowing from Belgrade, because that
00:04:47state security service played a significant
00:04:50role in creating many political parties and
00:04:54processes, and they simply have many people who, upon invitation, go to
00:04:58Belgrade for advice. Many of you would be surprised how many tens
00:05:01of people there are, and
00:05:04how many instructions there are. That service protects them, and in return,
00:05:08they do jobs for them. Those of us who are not part
00:05:11of that rotten system are exposed to attacks, lynching, and demonization
00:05:15from all sides, and believe me, it's absolutely not easy to fight against
00:05:19such a system, and it's no accident that my car was set on fire and my
00:05:23house attacked, and I was not demonized by the media. I'll tell you, in Republika
00:05:26Srpska, during the election campaign, I didn't get a single second of airtime on any
00:05:30of the major televisions, and that is certainly not by chance.
00:05:33What is the limit of that political survival? What do you predict
00:05:37will happen with the list for justice and order in the coming
00:05:40years? Well, you know what, I'm
00:05:44proud of the team of people I've gathered around me, first and foremost, a group
00:05:48of honorable people for whom no one can find any flaw,
00:05:52professors, doctors, university professors, lawyers,
00:05:55advocates, economists, workers, so an honest group
00:05:59of people. It's not easy today in such a system to gather
00:06:02a company of people to keep it going, for 14 years now,
00:06:06for 15, we have been actively fighting against the regime, and we have never been part of any
00:06:09government, nor do we have a single person employed anywhere "in any
00:06:13public sector, nor do we have any mark of donations. It's not easy
00:06:16to survive, but you must understand, I saw a benevolent
00:06:20column by Mr. Dakić who said you need to be a little diplomatic, but this
00:06:24is not about diplomatic skills, that is benevolent, but
00:06:27if you are a people's tribune for every
00:06:30problem of the citizens, and uh, how did you
00:06:34understand his column, will you listen to some
00:06:37benevolent advice, it's absolutely, absolutely correct and
00:06:41absolutely benevolent." "But you must understand, if I were to lose the honesty
00:06:45that the list for justice and order has, that we don't have a single unpaid
00:06:48debt after the elections, not a single invoice, we don't have a single
00:06:52person who can point a finger at us for the most immoral act,
00:06:56the only thing we have is purity. If
00:06:59we were to enter into some kind of contamination, we would
00:07:03lose everything and disappear from the political scene. He said simply when
00:07:06it ripens, when people want some different, honest
00:07:09people, when they want justice and order in society, that this..." "You were angry
00:07:13after the elections, you said that citizens can forget
00:07:16your phone
00:07:19number. Does that mean, for example, I will give you
00:07:23some examples, I will give you some examples. I was in the
00:07:26village of Podnovlje near Doboj dozens of times with those
00:07:29villagers, filming, talking, fighting against that land
00:07:32on the church hill where illegal solar panels are being built, contrary
00:07:36to judgments, and the SNSD won there. On Bukova Kosa,
00:07:39where I also called out Zvonko Veselinović as illegal."
00:07:43We got two votes. So, simply, I've been used to my whole
00:07:46life, whoever calls me, I run without, never asking for anything in return.
00:07:50I always ran to right some wrongs, solve people's personal
00:07:54and collective problems, and nothing was difficult, but you simply must
00:07:58have respect. Those people you fight for must
00:08:01understand that it's not fair to call me day and night,
00:08:05me and my people, and then when elections come, to run after those who
00:08:09caused the problems. Likewise, the next day after the elections. Panic
00:08:13about some problem in the school, so they add my deputies to a Viber group to solve
00:08:17it, to create it. So we serve as some kind of battering rams,
00:08:20to break down the fortress with our heads, to create problems for ourselves. That's why my house was burned
00:08:24down because of such things, and my house was attacked. That's why I lost
00:08:28140 thousand marks in lawsuits writing about injustices,
00:08:32and simply, those people we fight for must understand
00:08:35that they must have respect for us, that
00:08:39we are not here to be taken for granted, and simply, I will now have to...
00:08:42turn over a new leaf because I have never been proud or
00:08:45arrogant. I have always been the same, no matter how time passed, and
00:08:49I hung out with the same people and had the same lifestyle, but the people you
00:08:52fight for, these were once the workers of Novoteks here, from the tool industry,
00:08:56Agrokop, building industry. I always said how they would fare if they
00:09:00supported the system. Those Novotex workers happily went into
00:09:03bankruptcy. Dodik used and spent them countless times, and
00:09:06most of these people, unfortunately, are the voting body of the regime. People simply have
00:09:10to think again.
00:09:13They need to understand that change is necessary, both of the government and the system, if we want
00:09:16to create a fairer and better society. So,
00:09:19despite those well-intentioned criticisms, we are very,
00:09:23if we lose the purity we have and
00:09:26sincerity, simply there will be at least 10% of people, or five, who will
00:09:30appreciate that you are clean, that you don't want to be part of corruption and that you won't
00:09:34betray the people. Maybe the time will ripen, and
00:09:37it will suddenly grow to 30 or 50%, but I don't
00:09:41want to, even though people understand me, I hope. I don't want to make rotten
00:09:44compromises, I agree to basic life principles
00:09:47to betray, I don't know, my comrades-in-arms,
00:09:51anyone else for a crumb of power. Power really doesn't interest me, I'm interested in making
00:09:54a little justice and order in society, and even if we don't get a chance, many great figures from our
00:09:58past, from Jovan Skerlić, Dučić was exiled,
00:10:02Branislav Nušić ended up in prison, just like me, for writing, so
00:10:06you know how Petar Kočić, who was also a tribune, ended up in a mental asylum for
00:10:0930-something years, because they destroyed him, even the people he fought for
00:10:13destroyed him. I always remember how even
00:10:17great revolutionaries like Che Guevara were betrayed
00:10:20by the people he fought for, who said "his fight scares our goats and
00:10:24sheep." So they sold him for a handful of something, like Jesus for
00:10:28a handful of silver. I simply made peace with it, I'm not
00:10:31surprised, we just have to tell the truth. The problem is not only in
00:10:35the corrupt government, but in people who, for some small,
00:10:39petty personal interest, support such a corrupt system, until some problem or
00:10:42tragedy happens to them, and then they realize how much they
00:10:45were wrong. In the continuation, we will talk about citizens' money in precisely
00:10:49that system. Dodik has been paying for lobbying in America for years.
00:10:52The scandal last week with those advisors, how do
00:10:56you explain the fact
00:10:59that it went unnoticed
00:11:02by both the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and
00:11:05Herzegovina and American
00:11:08judicial institutions? How much would
00:11:11that actually cost him and the citizens?
00:11:15He uses that
00:11:17Louis XIV maxim: "The state is
00:11:20me." So, he treats all the budget money
00:11:24as his personal money, besides the 80
00:11:27million that he uses freely as he wishes through the President's
00:11:31cabinet. He is still the President, even though he is not in that position. He is still
00:11:35the Prime Minister. He is a minister in every department. He simply,
00:11:38because he has captured institutions and because many people who are
00:11:42well paid are actually cowards, with honorable seats,
00:11:45judges, prosecutors, auditors, ombudsmen, none of
00:11:49them has the strength to oppose him. It must be said that in
00:11:52Sarajevo, people who swear by Bosnia and Herzegovina also failed. Many
00:11:55Bosniaks were not able to implement the judgment. They showed the powerlessness
00:11:59of institutions. They allowed the person who leads Sipa to
00:12:03leave that position and then return without any punishment. They did not have the courage to
00:12:06implement the judgment. Even though there is a ban on activities, his party
00:12:10bears his name. He ran the campaign, so he didn't care much for the judgment.
00:12:14One should look at that, that when he shows such power, that no
00:12:17institution can do anything to him, that he is stronger than the police and
00:12:21the judiciary and the prosecutor's office and Sipa, that both Russia
00:12:24and America work for him, that he can buy everything with money,
00:12:28then don't be surprised that ordinary people are afraid of him, and that they follow
00:12:31him, and that is a syndrome of the butchered sheep that I talked about,
00:12:35that if a wolf breaks into a pen, some
00:12:37sheep are killed, some are only wounded, and
00:12:41those butchered sheep, he butchers them, they constantly follow him to finish them off. And that's how the
00:12:45path of, unfortunately, a large part of the citizens of Republika
00:12:48Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina can be explained by that syndrome of the butchered
00:12:51sheep, because obviously many people are afraid.
00:12:55People who show such power that no one can do anything to them, there
00:12:58must be consequences, of course, for the international community that gives
00:13:02billions of marks in loans and support to Milorad
00:13:05Dodik, which, when it was necessary to bring him to power, I am against any
00:13:09interventionism, but when Dodik was brought to power in '98 and
00:13:122006, they were ready to cut off 50 heads
00:13:15of his political opponents, mostly from the SDS, to open the door for him,
00:13:19however, everything is tolerated for him. He makes a round
00:13:22from Budapest before every election. Now he doesn't go there
00:13:25from Moscow to Washington and gets international support. That seems
00:13:29crucial for his victory in the elections, along with enormous corruption and money that he
00:13:33spills from the budget to citizens before elections. Now he has changed his approach a little,
00:13:36he went to Tel Aviv, then a little
00:13:39to Russia, Željka Cvijanović with
00:13:43the first advisor in the White
00:13:46House. And in Banja Luka today, we are, of course, talking about
00:13:50current events. Dodik and Čović, we have been used to
00:13:54that for years. Without a single delay, they implement
00:13:57common political, financial
00:13:59interests. Is it even possible and how to break this
00:14:03axis of interest on the ground?
00:14:05Well, it's sad to see that the authorities in Banja Luka, who
00:14:09swear that they are some great Serb patriots,
00:14:13roll out the red carpet for Dragan Čović and
00:14:16his delegation, which is erecting a monument to Ustashas from World War II in the vicinity
00:14:19of Mostar. On the other hand, Serbian professors
00:14:22and students from Belgrade and Novi Sad
00:14:26are met with batons, beatings and bans.
00:14:29That speaks of their hypocrisy. As for that
00:14:32axis of Dodik and Čović, I have long told everyone
00:14:36that if the two of them are the axis of evil that grinds everything, then it was perfectly
00:14:40normal for people who care about Bosnia and Herzegovina functioning normally according to Dayton
00:14:44principles, to accept my proposal that first and foremost, Bosniak
00:14:47parties, for higher interests, bury the hatchet and
00:14:51say that first of all, this country is a hostage to blockades from
00:14:55Čović in the House of Peoples, and they have captured institutions. That axis
00:14:59of evil that grinds everything must be crushed, and then we will
00:15:01, on some other principles, on
00:15:05Dayton principles, ensure that institutions function normally, and we will all
00:15:08unite against them so as not to be their hostages. However,
00:15:12just as there are people in the opposition of Republika Srpska who admire the power of Dodik and
00:15:15Čović and are looking to get some power from them, so too among many Bosniaks
00:15:19are looking to get into that vicious circle, get some power, and then they get
00:15:23crushed. Whoever entered a pact with them in 2018 and 2022
00:15:27paid a heavy price, and we will see if anyone has the courage to form the Council
00:15:31of Ministers after these elections in 2026.
00:15:34I said when Bosniaks realize, if they care about Bosnia, and the opposition
00:15:38of Republika Srpska, it would theoretically be possible to form
00:15:42it without SNSD, but will SDA,
00:15:45HDZ, perhaps even SDP agree to that, which
00:15:49according to some forecasts, will be part of that state
00:15:52government? And SDP had that chance
00:15:56in 2022, and SDP bears the greatest responsibility
00:15:59right now for why that axis is so powerful, because when I went to
00:16:03SDP with a delegation from SDS and PDP, I told Nikšić that
00:16:07it was dangerous to give a fourth delegate to Dodik, that he should support
00:16:11and not nominate Vojin Mijatović as a delegate, but to support the candidates of SDS and PDP
00:16:15and to form a council of ministers because there were enough votes in the Presidency
00:16:18of Bećirević and Komšić without the SNSD. That
00:16:22would have broken the wings of the SNSD and he would not have been able to spread his wings,
00:16:25and the political situation would have been completely different. However, Nikšić listened
00:16:29to Vojin Mijatović, and Bosnia and Herzegovina were captured
00:16:32for four years. Now that opportunity is gone. I am quite skeptical
00:16:36that Bosniaks will have
00:16:39enough, shall I say, courage and wisdom, and why
00:16:42would I talk about that, why would I, as someone who is
00:16:46so attacked and branded in Sarajevo, you remember, I said that I support the Serbian national team,
00:16:50that for me it was experienced as such an avalanche
00:16:52of attacks as if I had done something unthinkable. So, for me, it's a problem when I support
00:16:56Serbia. I've been supporting it my whole life, I was a Serb and for Crvena Zvezda,
00:17:00the problems of those who curse and shut down everything alive, many media outlets and
00:17:03politicians in the Federation used that and other meaningless
00:17:06things to launch a campaign against me in order
00:17:09to keep Dodik in power. Simply, those people who do such things
00:17:13also need to face consequences,
00:17:16and Bosniaks also need to understand that
00:17:19power is also very important to them, but they must understand that whoever
00:17:23joins the dance with Dodik and Čović at this moment will be
00:17:27crushed. I said the same thing four years ago, that Dodik and Čović would crush
00:17:30Bećirović and SDP once they entered, and everything turned out to be true. Now, whoever gets
00:17:34caught in their scissors, no one comes out of their embrace
00:17:38alive. We must run from them as fast as our legs can carry us,
00:17:41and I think that is the secret of survival in these difficult
00:17:45circumstances for the list for justice and order, that if we had once fallen into their deadly
00:17:48embrace, we would now be punished, our backbone would be broken, and we would disappear from the political scene.
00:17:52Even Nešić has been surviving in power for years, together
00:17:56with Milorad Dodik and SNSD. And you see,
00:17:59he needs such blackmailed
00:18:03turncoats. He broke Stevandić, who won't even have
00:18:0730% of the power he had before, you'll see, he'll very quickly, if Draško and
00:18:11Babalj join, Stevandić will be left with crumbs. You saw how he started to
00:18:15trample Stevandić before the elections. There are some animosities there. It must be said that
00:18:18Igor Dodik is slowly taking over the reins, that he has his
00:18:21players, like Bojić, for the government of Republika
00:18:25Srpska.
00:18:27Well, it's possible, but I don't think he wants to expose him to unnecessary
00:18:30signing, like Manković had,
00:18:33he won't, the old Vuković can get two or three
00:18:37ministries, he can get that right now, to be their
00:18:40joint candidate in the 2028 elections,
00:18:44but we will be ready with such a result. It must be said that I
00:18:47defeated Bošović, who had the support of Jelena and Draško and SDS and all
00:18:51structures in Banja Luka, that our Ozren Perdub had an excellent result,
00:18:55that our list was at 10%. That
00:18:58shows that we need to prepare well for our support
00:19:02in Banja Luka, which has been very strong for years, and we will
00:19:05persist, we will not scatter, I can tell you right away, for the next local elections,
00:19:08we will focus on a few places, one of those places will certainly be Banja Luka,
00:19:12and you saw what kind of result Ozren Perdub had and how great the list was
00:19:16in Banja Luka. I think that is a good basis and foundation to
00:19:19prepare for this Draško and Dodik axis,
00:19:23to expose it and try to return Banja Luka
00:19:27to the people of Banja Luka. As for Stevandić and Nešić, they
00:19:30will get crumbs, as if Dodik is giving them just enough, I don't
00:19:34know, a part of the power utility, some
00:19:37ministries, just enough for them to take money in those corrupt deals to
00:19:41feed their sick party organism, to pass
00:19:45the threshold and enough for him to rule. Believe me, he has
00:19:48no mercy. Whoever doesn't listen to him or if he
00:19:52gets a whim, he will run over them like a shallow stream. He is simply
00:19:56an unscrupulous Machiavellian who
00:19:59has no scruples at all, and believe me,
00:20:03even Igor Dodik, if he tried to take power from him, he wouldn't fare
00:20:06well either. He simply won't give power to anyone, not even Igor Dodik, to form any government
00:20:10without him, and also, not many people will come with Igor
00:20:13and his structure because he still trusts his people, with whom he has entangled affairs,
00:20:17more than his son's friends. And finally,
00:20:20we have to talk a little about Serbia, the results of
00:20:23possible elections in
00:20:27the neighborhood. What do you predict? Will
00:20:31the student list have the strength against the SNS machinery,
00:20:35and if Vučić loses power,
00:20:37how would that affect Dodik and Republika
00:20:41Srpska? We know that in such situations, he quickly
00:20:45adapted to the new government.
00:20:48Well, now the circumstances are different. In 2012, I was not on the political scene, and
00:20:52now I must say that
00:20:55as much as we could, from the list for justice and order, all our resources were
00:20:59made available to the student list. People from Belgrade came to the student list
00:21:02and precisely in our premises here in Trebinje, they trained
00:21:06observers and members of polling station committees. My people who have dual citizenship
00:21:10registered to be in polling station committees and observers to defend
00:21:13votes. So, we have already established that network and
00:21:16in-depth cooperation with people who are on the student list. "And
00:21:20they greatly appreciate that, they know that we are the only ones on this side of the Drina.
00:21:24The student list faces many, many challenges. It's not easy to fight
00:21:27against totalitarian systems, people who observe from the side cannot
00:21:31understand. You see, they, like me, want to normalize
00:21:34relations, to reduce tensions. Specifically, you saw that they had a rally in
00:21:38Novi Pazar, and it is very important to them, and those were wonderful pictures when you see people with
00:21:42a Serbian flag and these Bosniak women
00:21:45with their heads covered, how
00:21:49they march together." They protest, so that's something that really frightens
00:21:52and destroys Vučić, and he wants to compromise them. You saw that they send people into their rallies, just
00:21:56for a second to pull out some banner so that it
00:21:59becomes an excuse for their demonization.
00:22:02They are going through the same thing I went through here. I advocated for the normalization of relations between Serbs and
00:22:06met with
00:22:09hostility from all possible sides, because it suits no one. Simply,
00:22:13it leads to lasting stability, and I sincerely hope that
00:22:16wisdom will prevail. Still, Serbia is much larger, Serbs have a tradition
00:22:20of revolt against totalitarian systems, and
00:22:23I think that the government in Serbia, that regime,
00:22:26is so steeped in corruption
00:22:30that it is simply not just what you saw on the news, but many other things are
00:22:34clear about where such a system leads and such deep
00:22:37criminalization of society, and I sincerely hope that the students will win
00:22:41on October 25th in Belgrade, and believe
00:22:45me, they will not have the opportunity, I can tell you now from first-hand
00:22:49experience, and take my word for it, Milorad
00:22:52Dodik will not have the opportunity to cross the Drina and connect with
00:22:56the students, to try to buy them and compromise them with
00:22:59some of his lucrative combinations, so that he gets their political support and
00:23:03he will pay, believe me, he will pay a high price, Milorad Dodik, because Vučić
00:23:06this time was defeated because he openly started persecuting students, beating them up in
00:23:10Republika Srpska, banning gatherings, attacking them, going to
00:23:14RTS, campaigning against them, he will lead voters together with Draško,
00:23:18with Jelena, with Nešić, with baba. With Božović, everyone participating in that disgrace.
00:23:21It is very important that at least there are those of us who are not on that
00:23:25side, the students, and who are not on the side of that violence and
00:23:29primitivism, and if the students win, many
00:23:32things will change radically, believe me, Milorad Dodik will have a huge
00:23:36problem. I tell you firsthand that within two months after the change of
00:23:40power, documents will be delivered that Vučić kept, so that
00:23:44the process against Milorad Dodik will continue, the
00:23:48paths of crime, dirty
00:23:50money, transactions, how political entities here are financed, and
00:23:53things will change radically, that's why we wholeheartedly cheer for
00:23:57the students, even though, due to media isolation, most
00:24:01citizens in Republika Srpska understand, and even those who are against Dodik
00:24:05think it's good that Vučić remains, not realizing that as long as Vučić is in
00:24:08power, it will be difficult to endanger Dodik, because Vučić
00:24:12controls almost all political processes
00:27:27uživo. Friend of the show Domod and
00:27:30Bosh.
00:27:37While SDO, the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and DF with 18
00:27:40representatives announce the takeover of the Canton Sarajevo from
00:27:44the "troika" parties, a fierce counter-offensive arrives
00:27:47in the form of warnings about constitutional procedural
00:27:51blockades. At the same time, information arrives about an attempt to buy
00:27:54representatives. Is SDP entered the campaign with huge
00:27:58a complete blockade or is the most difficult political showdown yet to come?
00:28:01About accusations of idleness, blockades, and the plan and
00:28:05program under which the government will be led in such conditions,
00:28:08we talk in Dan uživo with
00:28:11the candidate for prime minister,
00:28:20carefully these days,
00:28:22are you officially the prime minister-designate? Last night, if I'm not mistaken,
00:28:26you said that your party's bodies still need to
00:28:29confirm it, uh, do you have that support?
00:28:33Well, I think I have it, I got support at the collegium, so it's more of a procedure now,
00:28:36but we will respect
00:28:40everything. After you called the press conference or before
00:28:43that? Before that. Before that. And did
00:28:47you have support to enter this coalition, given that
00:28:50negotiations at other levels of government have just
00:28:54begun and other coalitions are possible,
00:28:57or did you embark on this alone? No, no, this is, this is a serious party,
00:29:01of course I'm not alone. "Everything is at the level
00:29:05of the central committee, so at the cantonal
00:29:08levels, this cantonal organization
00:29:12creates this coalition and
00:29:16government in relation to the situation it
00:29:19is in. And you assessed that the situation is such
00:29:22that it is best to go with the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina and DF, and it is logical
00:29:26that we must call it after everything, that situation
00:29:30came out of the agreement. 2024 at
00:29:33the local elections, we made a general agreement and we
00:29:36are still acting on it today, so
00:29:39in essence there wasn't really any additional agreement and
00:29:43that's why we just sat down and
00:29:46agreed on a press conference and generally agreed that from that
00:29:49agreement it follows that whoever achieves
00:29:53the best result in Canton Sarajevo will
00:29:56give the mandate, everything else is now up to us to
00:29:59agree on, another party
00:30:03achieved a very good result in Canton Sarajevo, no, I'm talking about within these three
00:30:06parties, whoever achieves the best result will give
00:30:09the mandate, and this, and personally
00:30:12Adam Šteta achieved the best result,
00:30:16yes, how is that, but his party did not achieve the best result, but
00:30:19generally personal with SDA there somewhere, whether personal
00:30:22result, this preference
00:30:26uh, they can't you criticized their work a lot,
00:30:30but the work of... Šteta, how do
00:30:33you explain his number of votes, his, well I explain
00:30:37that uh, what we criticized, it is obvious that it
00:30:40paid off, given that
00:30:44funds and made a very
00:30:47expensive campaign, now
00:30:50the question is, of course, how many votes he got based on
00:30:53that, based on employment over eight years, and how much based on.
00:30:57kroz osam godina, a koliko na osnovu.
