KOJIĆ: STRICT U.S. ADHERENCE TO CONSTITUTION AND DAYTON AGREEMENT TROUBLES BOSNIAKS

ISTOČNO SARAJEVO, JUNE 23 /SRNA/ – SNSD member of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly Milorad Kojić said that the United States, through its current approach toward BiH, has returned to strict respect for the Constitution of BiH and the Dayton Peace Accords, which, he believes, is troubling for Bosniak politicians because it marks the end of their vision of a unitary BiH.

"This is also the end of their ambition to take control of Republika Srpska's land and place it under the framework of what they envision as a Bosniak-dominated BiH", Kojić told SRNA.

Commenting on a reaction by Our Party leader Sabina Ćudić to statements made by Rod Blagojevich, an associate of US President Donald Trump, Kojić said Ćudić was "counting down her final political days" and that her politics were based on hostility toward SNSD leader Milorad Dodik and Republika Srpska.

According to Kojić, Ćudić considers only those US policies that supported the centralization of BiH and what he described as the undermining of the constitutional order established by Dayton to have been legitimate and constitutional, while, he argued, such actions actually represented a violation of the constitutional framework.

"Returning to constitutional principles and insisting on strict adherence to the original Dayton Peace Accords, all of its annexes, and especially Annex Four, the Constitution of BiH, is something she apparently portrays as undermining the constitutional order, which is completely false", he stressed.

Kojić added that it was inappropriate for Ćudić and other Bosniak politicians to "lecture" the United States, arguing that their vision of a unitary BiH had clearly failed.

Responding to remarks by Rod Blagojevich, Our Party leader Sabina Ćudić stated, among other things, that his lobbying efforts were "directly damaging the reputation of the United States in BiH".
