The Alliance for a Better Future (SBB) announced after today's reaction of Zeljko Komšić, president of the Democratic Front (DF), in which he stated that Fadil Novalić, Prime Minister of FB&H, Nermin Džindić, Minister of Energy, Industry and Mining and Admir Andelija director of Elektroprivreda B&H should resign.

You can read full press release below:

- After today's reaction of Željko Komšić, president of the DF, how some politicians supposedly care about miners and that "the resignations should be submitted by the director of Elektroprivreda BiH, Radončić's minister Džindić and Zaimović's prime minister Novalić", a few simple questions should be asked.

First, since when is Mr. Novalić is Zaimović's Prime Minister, when the children also know that Novalić was appointed by the SDA, that is, Mr. Bakir Izetbegović? And why can't the unfortunate Komšić publicly say Bakir Izetbegovic's name in a negative context?


The owner of mines is "Elektroprivreda B&H", not the Government of FB&H

Secondly, why does Komšić keep silent that Mr. Andelija (who revolted and does not want to obey either the Minister or the FB&H Government) is a DF staff member and that, after inter-party acrobatics with the SDA, he was directly appointed by Mr. Komšić?

Third, the owner of the mines is the Public Company "Elektroprivreda B&H", and not the Government of FB&H. That is why these are business-legal relations between the owners and their company, ie mines and miners, to whom their employer has not paid and has not fulfilled the legal obligation to pay health and pension insurance since 2010.

So, Komšić's director Andelija is the one who persistently rejects the miners' proposals. The competent ministry and the FB&H Government can only be mediators, as they have no prescriptive legal basis in determining the price of coal or the owners' obligations to the mines.

As for Komšić's proposal to remove the Prime minister, the competent minister and the director of the EP, it is completely clear that SBB absolutely supports such an idea.

After all, on June 1st, 2020, SBB, together with SDP, Naša stranka, PDA, A-SDA, NiP and Nezavisni blok, voted for the removal of Novalić's FB&H Government, which has been in a technical mandate for three years. Let Mr. Komšić, who now remembered "Zaimović's Novalić," check how his esteemed deputies voted then. Let us remind him, however, that Komšić and his deputies did not raise their hands for the removal of the FB&H Government.


Komšić to help the miners with his authority

Therefore, SBB supports Komšić's demands for the removal of Novalić and others, because this would consequently mean the removal of the entire FB&H Government.

At the same time, SBB demands that Mr. Komšić, instead of trying to play political ping-pong, have a conversation with his renegade director of JP "Elektroprivreda BiH" d.d. Sarajevo within 24 hours and, urgently, with his authority of the chairman of the Presidency of B&H, help the miners, because the main political lever of decision-making is exclusively in his hands as the president of the DF who appointed and is fully responsible for the actions and behavior of Mr. Andelija - said in a statement SBB.
