ZVORNIK, DECEMBER 5 /SRNA/ - Bosniak political Sarajevo, as a product of thirty years of insistently playing the victim, received what it least expected — a lost, unitary, and sovereign BiH.

Political Sarajevo, which treats hatred toward Serbs and Croats as an axiom, vocally opposes any discussion of dividing the country, living in its own delusion while simultaneously maintaining the myth of the unified and sovereign, as they like to call it, state of BiH.

However, according to the Constitution, there is no “the state of BiH”; it consists of Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH /FBiH/. Moreover, the FBiH is divided into 10 cantons, some of which have a Croat majority, and others a Bosniak majority.

Unlike the unreasonable views of political Sarajevo, the FBiH is already divided on the ground by a boundary line that only needs to be legalized, without any constitutional amendments, since the constitutional principles in this country have long been undermined.

However, Bosniak politicians often react to even the suggestion of a third entity with insults and blatant hatred.

SDP official Zukan Helez literally “boiled” when he heard the views of Max Primorac and Željana Zovko on the third entity, responding with insults and calling them “Ustasha bastards.”

Helez, who, as Minister of Defense in the Council of Ministers, likes to be photographed with a rifle in hand, drones overhead, and a downed BiH Armed Forces helicopter in Jablanica Lake, seems to forget that Croats are also citizens of BiH with full constitutional rights to determine their own fate and that of their country.

Helez’s Sarajevo, which has lost touch with political reality, has found itself isolated in a divided BiH. It rejected every discussion on internal organization, until it was surprised by the position of representatives of world powers that political actors in BiH should negotiate and resolve the current situation in the country on their own.

Political Sarajevo cannot go back, nor does it know how to move forward politically. It remains trapped in a cycle of hatred, which it expresses from time to time, as seen in the recent insults directed at the Serbian people and athletes in Skenderija.

This will not bring a state to political Sarajevo, which has permanently lost the trust of its neighbors.
