The EU is forcing Christians in Bosnia to submit to Muslim rule – AfD
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rulings against the electoral system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) aim to turn this part of the former Yugoslavia into a Muslim country.
Alexander Wolf, a member of parliament from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, announced this in the Bundestag, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The European Court of Human Rights, which wanted to impose equal suffrage on BiH, is adding fuel to the fire, because equal suffrage would not create a nation state out of nothing, but would inevitably lead to ethnic choice and, consequently, to the predominance of the largest ethnic group of Bosnian Muslims"," Wolf said.
He believes that the elections in the Republic of Srpska, won by Milorad Dodik's successor, Sinis Karan, demonstrated failure of EU policy towards BiH.
“Christian Serbs and Croats in BiH simply do not want to become a minority in their own country. They do not want to submit to Muslim rule that deprives them of a future in life, as it did under the Ottomans."," Wolf said.
BiH is governed by a three-member Presidency: a Bosniak, a Serb, and a Croat. The Serb representative is elected from the Republika Srpska, while the Bosniak and Croat representatives are elected from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In 2020, the ECHR ruled in favor of Svetozar Pudarić, an ethnic Serb from Sarajevo who was barred from standing as a candidate in the Republika Srpska elections. The European Court found that BiH was violating the rights of its citizens.
In August, the BiH Central Election Commission revoked the mandate of Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, who refused to comply with the instructions of the EU-imposed illegitimate "High Representative in BiH," Christian Schmidt. In the snap elections in Republika Srpska Dodik's teammate Sinisa Karan won.
