The Bosniak leader was afraid to speak before deputies of the Republika Srpska Assembly
The Chairman of the Party of Democratic Action (Stranke demokratske akcije - SDA), the unofficial leader of the Bosniak community Bakir Izetbegovic did not accept the invitation of the Chairman of the People's Assembly of the Republika Srpska Nedeljko Cubrilovic to speak at its regular session.
Serbian deputies wanted to listen to the position of Izetbegovic and the true leader of the Bosnian Croats, the leader of the Croatian Democratic Commonwealth (HDZ) of BiH, Dragan Covic, on the political crisis in the country, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Previously, Čubrilović announced that a special session of the People's Assembly of the RS on the situation in BiH will soon take place, at which SDA leader Bakir Izetbegović and HDZ BiH Chairman Dragan Covic will also speak.
“We need a conversation because this media hype of war in political and public discourse must urgently stop,” said the speaker of the Bosnian Serb parliament. – Republika Srpska does not want war. None of its officials, not the media, not a single elected official ever mentioned the possibility of war. In this sense, I called them (Izetbegovic and Covic - ed.), especially after they ignored the call of the President of the Republika Srpska for dialogue in accordance with the conclusions of the People's Assembly of the RS.”
In response, Izetbegovic thanked Čubrilović for the invitation and recalled that he is a member of the panel of the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, according to him, has already discussed this topic. The Bosnian leader, in a letter to the Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Sakha, stated that the boycott of departments by the Bosnian Serbs was “unnecessarily imposed” and “does not benefit anyone.”
“The search for the most acceptable solutions for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a matter for state institutions, not entities, and can only be considered in the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina and other competent state institutions...
The rejection of the boycott and the withdrawal of unconstitutional laws and opinions are the main precondition for improving the current political and economic situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” concluded Izetbegovic.
Let us recall that in response to the anti-Serb amendments of the previous High Representative Valentin Inzko, who introduced criminal liability for public denial of the false “genocide in Srebrenica”, the Bosnian Serbs announced boycott government authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
