KOVAČEVIĆ: ZVIZDIĆ AND KONAKOVIĆ POLITICALLY FINISHED DUE TO DODIK’S SUCCESS

ISTOČNO SARAJEVO, MAY 13 /SRNA/ – The Serb delegate in the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly BiH Radovan Kovačević said that Denis Zvizdić and Elmedin Konaković are already in political retirement, precisely because of the work and political results of Milorad Dodik and Republika Srpska.

Responding to the statement by Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly Denis Zvizdić, who said SNSD leader Milorad Dodik would, in his words, have to go into political retirement and that this was not a task for foreigners but for the opposition in Republika Srpska. Kovačević told SRNA that Zvizdić was once again making the same mistake in an attempt to prevent disintegration within opposition ranks in Republika Srpska - through another senseless attack on Dodik, he is trying to stop the collapse of both "Troikas" and once again unite them around the old policy of conflict.

He stressed that the fall of Christian Schmidt had clearly shaken both political "Troikas" - the ruling coalition in political Sarajevo and the opposition bloc in Republika Srpska.

"The consequences are clearly visible: members of the Sarajevo 'Troika' behave as if they do not even know each other, while the opposition 'Troika' in Republika Srpska has gone a step further - arguing over candidacies while pretending not to notice that their political sponsor has suffered a complete fiasco", said Kovačević, who also serves as SNSD spokesperson.

Kovačević added that Zvizdić was effectively issuing an order from political Sarajevo to the opposition "Troika" in Republika Srpska - stop retreating and launch a new suicidal assault on the "defense" lines of Republika Srpska.

At the same time, Kovačević said, the same political directive is intended to calm the anger of Zvizdić's own voters, disappointed by yet another political defeat suffered by their policies at the hands of Milorad Dodik and Republika Srpska.
