One person cannot change the situation in the country and we have to take over the power in the October election, said Croat candidate for the post of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s tripartite Presidency Diana Zelenika.
Zelenika is the candidate of the Croat Democratic Union 1990 (HDZ 1990), which was established when former members of the Croat Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) left the party dissatisfied with the way it represented Croat people in Bosnia and formed their own party, the HDZ 1990.
The Presidency candidate said Bosnia was a difficult patient and that she, as a doctor of medicine, has established that the main symptoms of the diagnose were “organized crime and nepotism.”
“In order to cure any disease you have to find the cause of that disease. Otherwise, there is no adequate therapy,” Zelenika told N1, adding that a recently conducted survey identified current leaders Dragan Covic, Milorad Dodik and Bakir Izetbegovic as the main cause of the disease. “Their removal will establish a therapy against the poverty, corruption, nepotism, crime,” she underlined.
Covic, Dodik and Izetbegovic are leaders of the currently ruling parties at various levels of authority. The opposition, which includes Zelenika’s party, the HDZ 1990, often accuse them of turmoil and lack of the country's prosperity.
“They seem like a well-coordinated theatre group. They function in the way: let’s agree we will not agree,” said Zelenika.
Her direct rivals in the elections taking place on October 7 this year are Covic and another opposition leader Zeljko Komsic, who, according to the HDZ 1990’s candidate, had “power, money, infrastructure – everything I don’t have.”
“But they don’t have what I do. Contrary to them, I am fond of people and Bosnia and Herzegovina,” she stressed. Bosnia and Herzegovina is “undoubtedly” a homeland of Croats and she will not allow anyone to love Bosnia and Herzegovina more than she does, Zelenika concluded.
The citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina will cast their vote on October 7 and elect the members of tripartite state Presidency, entity presidents, and members of the state, entity and cantonal parliaments.
