This team is energetic, they know how to use modern means well - social networks, that's where they escaped us. We will race, the next two years are coming.
These are the words of Bakir Izetbegović after the brutal defeat in the local elections in November last year. That these were not just mere words, but that it was intensively put into action, was shown months after the elections. Dozens of pages and individual profiles have sprung up on social networks, through which, on the one hand, all moves of the SDA and its leadership are indiscriminately glorified and justified, and on the other, in the most brutal way, they insult all journalists, politicians and public figures in general who in any way oppose the actions of this party and its officials.
When it comes to individual cases, one of the most active and colorful SDA bots is Jasmin Mulahusić, who lives in Luxembourg, and is mentioned, among other things, in the report of the Algerian government submitted to the UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to Resolution 1267 (1999.), in which it is stated that he is a part of a group of Algerian terrorists linked to al-Qaeda.
The Prosecutor's Office of B&H is also conducting an investigation against Mulahusić for hate speech and threats to public figures. The leader of the People and Justice, Elmedin Konaković, once revealed that Mulahusić is an associate of ISA. That there is obviously truth in these words and that Mulahusić is connected with the structures of the SDA and is part of an organized network, is shown by the very way he operates on Facebook. Namely, Mulahusić is considered a kind of strike bot of this party.
He is known for making montages and FB posters through which he "draws targets" at all SDA critics or people who oppose any of their moves. Then, Mulahusić's posts are widely shared by individuals most often hidden behind fake profiles or pages that use a similar way of botting, which shows that it is a planned and networked action aimed at jamming social networks with negative content about SDA critics.
All the SDA opponents are being attacked by these assailants with names such as "Chetniks", "mercenaries", "traitors", "Ustashas", "foreign spies", with type of montages to mount hooks and cockades on their heads. In addition, the most heinous national and religious chauvinism, hate speech, as well as anti-Western sentiment are placed through these pages and profiles.
The most frequent targets among politicians on these pages are Irma Baralija, Dino Konaković, Fahrudin Radončić, PeđaKojović, Nermin Nikšić ... Lately, the most frequent target of increasingly brutal attacks is Senad Hadžifejzović, the most famous and influential journalist in B&H. Thanks to his exposure of crime and the state's disastrous moves by the SDA, Hadžifejzović was exposed to several months of public lynching, with the most heinous accusations and constructions against him.
On the other hand, the main positives on these pages about which all the praise is written are Bakir Izetbegović and his wife Sebija, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ISA Director Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, FB&H Prime Minister Fadil Novalić, but also currently Bakir's only loyal political ally - Željko Komšić.
The SDA does not run a no less aggressive campaign via the social network Twitter.
The backbone of SDA bots on this social network is "Drnišlija", the same person behind the pseudonym Mustafa Drnišlić, who signs his texts in SDA's newspaper "Stav", a certain Ermin Zec, a student from Finland, and Nedim Pobrić, current advisor of Bakir Izetbegović.
The principle of action is similar to the one on Facebook - when these main bots, SDA politicians or journalists write something on Twitter, an army of bots hidden behind nicknames then retweet en masse. In addition, they shower every public figure on Twitter who writes anything negative about the SDA and the moves of its leadership with organized violence and insults, all with the expression of the most disgusting chauvinism and hate speech.
