Democratic Front’s Presidency candidate Zeljko Komsic said the incumbent Presidency member Dragan Covic openly calls for the creation of a para-state and the destruction of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus proving once again he is partners with the Republika Srpska (RS) entity President Milorad Dodik.

Croat member of Bosnia and Herzegovina's tripartite Presidency Dragan Covic announced on Sunday the opening of a joint representative office of several Bosnia's cantons in Brussels within the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR).

“Announcing the opening of parallel diplomatic missions, cantonal representative offices which he thinks will represent the backbone of an emerging para-state, Dragan Covic once again proved that everything he does is based on the example of Milorad Dodik, his partner in the destruction of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Zeljko Komsic said. “This openly prepares the terrain for the adoption of Croat and Bosniak entities under the false pretences of the EU, which leads to divisions of the FBiH and then the state.”

Dodik has repeatedly called for the dissolution of Bosnia and secession of the RS, saying Bosnia only harms this Serb-dominated entity from reaching its full potential and prevents it from unifying with the Republic of Serbia.

Komsic added that this is a classic abuse of office for gaining political legitimacy because it is clear that there is neither a Croat nor a Bosniak entity within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) entity, one of two entities in Bosnia.

With neither exclusively Bosniak nor Croat entity within the FBiH, such representative offices cannot represent exclusively Croats or Bosniaks in Brussels, he stressed.

Komsic also pointed out that such representative office would only serve to represent the policy of the destruction of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the end, he called on the citizens to open their eyes and to vote for those who will stop the destruction of Bosnian institutions.
