What is Bakir silent about?

What is tragic in everything is that, if the SDA and Bakir survive politically, the state of B&H may not survive

The main board of the SDA, which held a meeting at the hotel of the controversial party tycoon Alija Budnjo, sent a message by choosing the location that nothing will change in the behavior, activities and ideological course of the largest Bosniak party, headed by Bakir Izetbegović.

Incompetent, corrupt, but loyal and humble towards the dynastic couple were pushed to the forefront, and the few remaining free shooters seeking change and responsibility for the disaster in the local elections, after the last session of the Main Board will be now even closer and will go even faster to the exit door.

Who gave the keys of power into the hands of Dodik and Čović

Reading Izetbegović's speech and the conclusions of the SDA, it is difficult to shake off the impression that the party leader and his courtiers live in a parallel galaxy. For all the good, and there is not much of it, the party of the "Muslim historical circle" is responsible. Everything that is bad, according to Izetbegović, is the product of the actions of the opposition, the media, foreign conspiracies, the Serbo-Croatian coalition against the state of B&H.

And again, cheap and false patriotism, traitors in "our" ranks, foreign mercenaries, anti-Bosniak prosecutors and judges ... And in the real world, the truth is completely different, but Bakir and the SDA did not say a word about it.

While they complain that Milorad Dodik and Dragan Čović are blocking the reform processes and the path to the EU at the state and entity levels, they are silent about the fact that four SNSD delegates and four HDZ delegates were elected exclusively by SDA votes in the state House of Peoples (and this is the majority of a total of 15 delegates), and that, also by the will of the SDA, the HDZ after the 2018 elections achieved a controlling stake in the federal House of Peoples.

It is the beginning and the end of every story about their alleged struggle for the state, the people and the citizens.

Even more devastating, but not unexpected, is the silence of the SDA and Bakir Izetbegović at the Main Board on criminal and corruption scandals involving the party's staff.

Suspicious diplomas of Osmica and Sebija

For months, the public and the media have been buzzing about the fake diploma and other criminal activities of the home intelligence officer and director of ISA, Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, in charge of all the dirt and planting of opponents of the couple Izetbegović's regime. If the state prosecutor's office remains persistent and professional until the end, it should come as no surprise that Osmica will soon end up where his companion and printer of fake diplomas Denis Prcić is currently - on defendant's bench and in prison.

The first lady of the SDA is also leading the battle to prove the validity of the diploma. All relevant information and evidence published so far severely compromise Sebija Izetbegović and calls into question her academic education. Her alleged postgraduate studies in Zagreb are shrouded in secrecy, and direct witnesses such as academician Asim Krujak and professor Sanja Kupešić claim that she did not take exams with them, nor did they write her grades.

In addition, director Sebija Izetbegović is facing an investigation into the deaths of a large number of patients infected with coronavirus, who were treated at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo.

Pretending that they neither read nor saw any of the above, the members of the SDA Main Board plebiscitarily supported Professor Izetbegović, as her husband Bakir publicly glorifies her, praising her inevitable role in - watch out now!? - the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

SDA's federal prime minister, Fadil Novalić, the first indictee in the "Ventilators" affair, also received undivided support, and the heavy defeats of SDA ministers in the face of the migrant crisis turned into a non-existent victory.

It no longer matters whether Bakir Izetbegović is really ignorant or a self-confident insolent manipulator, but a normal man's brain is tied in a knot when he listens to his praises about the great economic results of Novalić's government in the fight against the negative consequences of the pandemic or about the success in the procurement of vaccines and protection of the lives of B&H citizens, only visible to him.

An ostrich strategy with its head in the sand

At the same time, economic experts say that the authorities in B&H have set the economy behind at all levels for at least five years, that investors, due to the unbearable business climate, are fleeing B&H like the devil runs away from the cross. Also, we are the third in the world in terms of the number of deaths in relation to the number of infected, Prime Minister Fadil Novalić did not procure a single vaccine on the world market, citizens are vaccinated from donated vaccines or go to Serbia for vaccination.

There is more, and there is too much ... Bakir, however, decided on the strategy of an ostrich with its head in the sand, counting on the short-sightedness of the people, well-established election fraud and theft, and the army of hostile SDA voters in the past thirty years. Given the discord and friction in the opposition ranks, perhaps this tactic will enable both him and the SDA to remain in power even after the 2022 elections.

What is tragic in everything and what worries everyone who sees beyond their noses is that if the SDA and Bakir survive politically, there is a real danger that the
