A group of Bosnians and Herzegovinians and Americans from B&amp;H united in the "Working Group for Bosnia and Herzegovina" sent a letter to US President Joseph Biden, urging him to respond decisively to threats to B&amp;H's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The letter was signed on behalf of the Working Group by David Pettigrew, Professor of Philosophy and Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Southern Connecticut State University and a member of the Board of Directors of the Yale University Genocide Study Program.

<h2>Serious attack on the Dayton Peace Agreement</h2>

As they stated in the letter, it is crucial that "we prevent Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat nationalists from destabilizing Bosnia and Herzegovina by threatening secession or further deepening of ethnic divisions that would ultimately enable the goals of genocide and international aggression from the 1990s to be fulfilled.

The signatories of the letter mention that it is important to support the High Representative of the International Community in B&amp;H, who is the supreme interpreter and protector of the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
The B&amp;H Presidency member Milorad Dodik has recently stepped up efforts to destabilize Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region by simultaneously boycotting state institutions, undermining the Constitution and threatening to establish an entity army.
In a report to the United Nations Security Council on 5 November 2021, High Representative Christian Schmidt warned that such actions would abandon B&amp;H's constitutional order and the Dayton PA framework and "have a practical effect of the secession of Republic of Srpska from B&amp;H."
The High Representative called these developments a "serious attack on the Dayton Peace Agreement, which thwarted all hopes for peace and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina."
It is even more important, however, that any such move by the entity of Republic of Srpska towards secession or 'autonomy' must not be understood as anything less than the achievement of its genocidal goals, stated the Working Group for B&amp;H.
They recall that the Trial Chamber of the Hague Tribunal found Radovan Karadžić guilty of a joint criminal enterprise aimed at permanently removing the non-Serb population from the territory claimed by Bosnian Serbs and establishing an ethnically homogeneous state.

On December 13, 1995, current US President Biden condemned the atrocities as "Serbian genocidal enterprise" and "cruel genocide", and described his commitment to B&amp;H as a commitment to the values ​​of justice and a promise that genocide will never happen again and they have issued and appeal to Biden to fulfill that promise by instructing his diplomatic team to ensure that genocidal goals are not achieved.

- After the statement of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on December 9 on the importance of genocide prevention in which he also condemns genocide denial, our letter emphasizes the need for President Biden to prevent a recurrence of international aggression and genocide against B&amp;H. Given that the entity of Republic of Srpska is taking steps to form its own judiciary and army, the situation has never been more serious - Pettigrew warned in a statement for FENA.
The letter also warned that the HDZ President Dragan Čović insists on reforming the Election Law, which he said would enable the election of a representative of his HDZ (Croat Democratic Union) to the BiH Presidency, thus "strengthening ethnic divisions and leading to the creation of a third entity and further destabilization of BiH ".
- Therefore, we urge you to send a negotiating team that would reject such a proposal to reform the election legislation and enable the transition of B&amp;H from a state composed of "constituent peoples" to a modern liberal democracy of citizens with equal rights and dignity - it is stated in the letter.
They also remind that such goals are openly supported by the Russian Federation, which sees them as an opportunity to prevent Bosnia and Herzegovina's Euro-Atlantic integration, as we have recently witnessed Russia's claims that it sees BiH's NATO membership as a hostile act to which they should respond.
With B&amp;H facing threats from Republic of Srpska and Russian interference, the signatories of this letter appeal to Biden-led diplomats to push for an increased EUFOR presence in B&amp;H and launch NATO's emergency planning.
They expressed confidence that the United States would respond with an unwavering commitment to the values ​​of justice, democracy and human rights, with a lasting promise to prevent a recurrence of genocide and international aggression against BiH.
In addition to Professor Pettigrew, the letter to Biden was signed by Bosnian-American citizens with prominent careers in education, medicine and law, as well as friends of B&amp;H, supported by Satko Mujagić, Munira Subašić, Bakira Hasečić and other survivors, victims of war.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg demanded that Russia de-escalate its conflict with neighboring Ukraine on Wednesday in a bid to resolve the crisis politically.

- We call on Russia to de-escalate and reduce tensions (with Ukraine) and to be transparent about their intentions - Stoltenberg told the Berlin-based Friedrich-Ebert Foundation via video link.&nbsp;- We really hope that this time Russia will not use military force but respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign and independent state in Europe – Ukraine.-Stoltenberg warned of a "very serious situation" amid the escalating Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
He accused Moscow of "not wanting Ukraine to be an independent and sovereign nation."
The NATO chief reiterated the "need for a political solution" in the crisis.
Russia, Ukraine and NATO have stepped up military exercises as tensions have intensified in recent weeks as Kyiv has openly accused Moscow of planning to stage an invasion.
Russian military aircraft were scrambled Wednesday to escort French Rafale and Mirage fighter jets flying above the Black Sea, according to the RIA news agency that cited the Russian Defense Ministry.
Ukraine alleges that more than 14,000 people have been killed in seven years of fighting with Russian-backed separatists.

We really hope that this time Russia will not use military force, says Jens Stoltenberg

The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Bosnia and Herzegovina explained in a statement why they did not attend the two-day meeting of political directors of the PIC Steering Board member states, reiterating their non-recognition of Christian Schmidt as High Representative of the international community in B&amp;H, appointed without the consent of the United Nations Security Council.

As the Embassy stated, they intend to draw attention to the fact that the Office of the High Representative (OHR) itself confirms the correctness of their arguments because the conclusions regarding the independent annual audit report approved by the PIC on November 26 directly state that "PIC proposes a candidate for the position of the High Representative. The UN Security Council, which approved the Dayton Peace Agreement and the deployment of an international military contingent in Bosnia and Herzegovina, approves the candidacy. "
They believe that the reason for the internal political crisis in B&amp;H is "the subjective decisions of former High Representative Valentin Inzko and the refusal of PIC partners to follow the procedure for appointing a new High Representative."
They believe that the proposed communiqué contains a distortion of "the letter of the Dayton Peace Agreement", which is why they believe they are forced to remind that "B&amp;H, according to the Dayton PA, does not include but is consisted of the two entities."
"We start from the fact that all problems in B&amp;H should be solved exclusively through dialogue between the parties in B&amp;H on the basis of mutually acceptable compromises.
This also applies to B&amp;H's foreign policy priorities, including Euro-Atlantic integration, on which there is no consensus in the country. We insist that the mandate of the PIC within the Dayton PA does not imply securing B&amp;H's membership in NATO."
The Russian Federation, as one of the witnesses of the Dayton PA, stands for the territorial integrity and real sovereignty of B&amp;H, the Embassy said, adding that in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to close the OHR as soon as possible, as it has become a blocking stone on the path of democratic development of B&amp;H.
It is also necessary to transfer all responsibility for the situation in the country to its citizens, stated the Russian Embassy in B&amp;H.&nbsp;

The epidemiological situation in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is mostly similar to that in the last two months or more, which can be called epidemiological stability, but high mortality is still a problem, said at today's session of the House of Peoples of the FB&amp;H Parliament Goran Čerkez from the FB&amp;H Ministry of Health.

As an important cause of high mortality of patients and mostly those older than 60, Čerkez notes a small percentage of the vaccinated population, claiming that mortality is higher in certain periods than during the war.
He confirmed that the coronavirus strain omicron has not been registered in the FB&amp;H so far and that protection measures are the same for now, while professional guidelines on this type of virus are still pending.
Čerkez also said that the cantons have been given the opportunity to apply the "vaccinated-tested-had the disease" rule when it comes to the presence of coronavirus in their communities and when it comes to the citizens' entry into public buildings and crowded events. He expressed hope that the celebration of the New Year's holidays will not lead to an escalation of the epidemiological situation.
Asked by the delegates why the Federation of B&amp;H has left it to the cantons to determine the rules, Čerkez said, among other things, that the advantage of acting in a crisis is in decentralized systems, but with mutual reporting and cooperation between different levels of government.

NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy Javier Colomina said today in talks with members of the Joint Committee on Defence and Security of B&amp;H and members of the B&amp;H PA Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly that NATO pays great attention to this region and considers it strategically important.

He informed the hosts that a few days ago the NATO foreign ministers held a summit in Riga and discussed on the Western Balkans on a special session, and that many messages had been received.
- I will not hide that one message was a message of concern over the tensions that are present here in the region, both in Kosovo and in your country. But, at the same time, strong support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity of B&amp;H, and multiethnically efficient functioning organizations, institutions, including your Armed Forces, was clearly emphasized - said Colomina.
He stated that the cooperation between NATO and B&amp;H continues, and that a lot of things are being done together.
- We have decided and the ministers said very clearly, as well as the heads of state and government at the Summit in Brussels, that we will increase NATO's political engagement in the Western Balkans, because we believe that there is room to strengthen that engagement. That is the reason why I am here, to convey that message very clearly, so that we are here to support the efforts and to support BiH in its reform process, which includes economic, political and military areas - said Colomina.
According to him, the Reform Program is a comprehensive document that talks about the level of engagement, the level of ambition.
Speaking about the Reform Program, he pointed out that it is a fundamental document.
- I must tell you that we are disappointed that we could not get a document for 2021. We would welcome if we could at least get information about the work undertaken by various institutions, so that we can convey to the allies when I return to Brussels what efforts have been made, what is being done in terms of continuing cooperation at various levels - said Colomina.
We need, he said, that all actors in this country behave in the most constructive way.
Chairman of the Joint Committee on Defense and Security of B&amp;H and the Delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH to the Parliamentary Assembly of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Asim Sarajlić said that they are cooperating in partnership with NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo, the NATO Secretariat and all NATO committees.
Speaking about the defense sector, he stated that the Armed Forces of B&amp;H have gone through a very successful transition period since 2005.
Sarajlić stated that at the moment, the defense and security sector does not have a sufficient budget for further modernization.
Deputy Chair of the PAB&amp;H Delegation to the NATO PA Nikola Lovrinović pointed out that respect for laws, declarations and resolutions, as well as documents and agreements implemented with NATO "should have no alternative for us".

We have decided and the ministers said very clearly, as well as the heads of state and government at the Summit in Brussels, that we will increase NATO's political engagement in the Western Balkans

The portal of Avdo Avdić, which is under the direct control of Osman Mehmedagić Osmica and Bakir Izetbegović, published recycled news according to which the largest media house in BiH "Avaz" evaded 11 million KM in direct taxes.
In addition, the same portal sensationally reveals that the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H kept the case in a drawer for three years, and that it was forwarded to the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office.
The "Avaz" company has always been completely open to any kind of control and behaved the same in the mentioned case, which began with statements by Bakir Izetbegovic at the SDA election rallies in 2018, according to which "the SBB leader owes a spectacular 18 million KM."
However, the facts show that this fabricated case was completely processed and legally completed.

<h2>Company "Avaz" d.o.o. does not owe 11 million KM in taxes, and this is confirmed by the final decisions of the second instance body and the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo</h2>

On the occasion of the misinformation placed today, according to which "Avaz" d.o.o. allegedly owes about 11 million KM in taxes and that a case has been opened in the SC Prosecutor's Office on that occasion, based on the fact that the second instance body never resolved the appeal of "Avaz", the facts say quite the opposite.
The second instance body, ie the Federal Ministry of Finance, fully accepted the appeal of the company "Avaz" d.o.o. on the decision of the Cantonal Tax Office Sarajevo, and the whole situation ended in the Court, because the Cantonal Court completely rejected the appeal of the Cantonal Tax Office Sarajevo against the second instance decision, which was positive outcome for "Avaz" d.o.o.
For the purpose of objectively informing the public, we publish the following chronology, in which even the Tax Administration has never used the term alleged tax evasion:
Control of “Avaz” d.o.o. was performed by the inspector of the Tax Administration of FB&amp;H in the period from 13. 4.-1. 8. 2018.
During the appellate procedure, the Ilidža Tax Office was involved in the case, which uses the Minutes of Inspection Control as the basis for making a decision and issues a decision number: 13-9 / 5-15-9-1527 / 18 DH dated 10 December 2018. , which determines the taxpayer "Avaz" d.o.o Sarajevo additional tax liabilities with accrued interest in the amount speculated in the politically passionate media.
An appeal was timely filed against the said decision to the second-instance body, ie the Federal Ministry of Finance.
The Federal Ministry of Finance assessed the appeal as fully grounded and issued a decision number: 03-15-47 / 19 D.B. of 28 February 2019, which completely annulled the decision of the Tax Office of Ilidža. The explanation of the decision states that the first instance body committed significant violations of the procedure, erroneously applied procedural and substantive rights, conducted the procedure outside the scope of the Tax Office and that the decision was made without any legal regulations on the basis of which the administrative matter was resolved, which constitutes a significant violation of the procedure.
However, on March 29, 2019, the FB&amp;H Tax Administration and the Sarajevo Canton, represented by the Sarajevo Canton Attorney's Office, filed a lawsuit against the aforementioned decision of the Federal Ministry of Finance. However, on 28 August 2019, the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo issued Decision No. 09 0 U 033797 19 U, rejecting the Lawsuit in its entirety in relation to the first plaintiff and second plaintiff and ruling that “Avaz” d.o.o. has no tax liabilities.
After all, during the entire period, even in recent months, the company "Avaz" d.o.o. and Fahrudin Radončić regularly receive official confirmations from the Tax Administration of the Federation of B&amp;H that they have no tax obligations, which is confirmed by the facsimiles that we publish.
In the attachment we publish:

<h2>Cup politician tries in every way he wants to remove SBB leader and "Avaz"</h2>

Certificates that Fahrudin Radončić and the company "Avaz" d.o.o. do not owe any taxes are the best proof of how much the SDA intelligence machine is trying to destroy SBB leader Fahrudin Radončić, present his life's success as criminal, and consequently destroy "Avaz" as a disobedient media house. 
Behind Avdo Avdić directly stands Osman Mehmedagić, who is shaken by severe corruption and mafia scandals.
Mehmedagić received the hardest blow by discovering the application Sky used by the heaviest mobsters and criminal. His head of the Organized Crime Department, Muriz Druškić, was caught in that application in a directive role.
It is about his communications with drug dealers, and Druškić's name came to light for the first time, because Radončić, as the Minister of Security of B&amp;H, rejected Mehmedagić's proposal that he be in the Commission for Security Checks and Security Approvals.
Probably, Mehmedagić did not forget this Radončić's decision.
There is no doubt that Mehmedagić will do everything together with his boss Bakir Izetbegović to put pressure on the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office and any other prosecutor's office in B&amp;H to eliminate Radončić and SBB from the election campaign.

The fabrication of lies at the expense of "Avaz" at a time when Escobar is also in Sarajevo has the calculated goal of neutralizing Radončić as a capable politician. But, in addition, the pressure to sanction corruption and its bearers in the form of various newcomers, like solak, hodžić, cikotić, sarajlić is directed towards those who led the fight against systemic corruption.
On the occasion of this story, a logical question arises, why Emela Burdžović and Senad Pećanin, precisely through N1 television, are settling accounts with Radončić.

Pećanin has been sued for this same slander and will be prosecuted again, but in the course of the trial so far, of course, he has not been able to offer any evidence that Radončić owes any tax.
Even worse in his theatricality, Pećanin - believe it or not - threatened the judge that he would jump out the window if he was convicted of telling lies.
„Avaz“ will certainly seek large financial compensation from the owners of N1 television, but also from some portals that are trying to stage scandals directed by a man of radical views and secret owner of Al Shiddi Group and many other companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey and other eastern destinations.
The man, who publicly brags that he has regained influence over the judiciary, also organized through Osmica's friends Šuškić that he wants to reactivate the completed legal matter in a criminal way and is practically trying to manipulate the Sarajevo Cantonal Prosecutor's Office to process things that have been finalized.
The company "Avaz" will inform all relevant international addresses about this.
