Minister of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nenad Nesic, told N1 today that he doesn't intend to "bit the bullet," but rather he stands for consistency.

“I advocate for us to be a bit more economical, to meet the people halfway. Perhaps we could combine elections with the General ones. Our electoral process is complicated, but I believe in the intelligence of the people living in our regions,” Nesic said.

Nesic stated that he's not prepared to “bite the bullet,” unlike Nenad Stevandic, the Speaker of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska.

“You see that Schmidt is attempting to grant authority to the Central Election Commission, you see that the retirement law doesn't depend on legislation but rather on whether Schmidt decides if someone should retire at a certain age or when it suits him. Unlike Stevandic, I'm not willing to “bite the bullet”. I'm prepared to act in the interest of the RS, and the Serbian people, without harming the interests of the FBiH or the Bosniaks. Ask him if he's bit that specialty. I've never tried it, maybe Stevandic has.”

“DNS will make a decision and take into account what others decide. I'm not for bitting the bullets, I'm very much for consistency. But what should I do if everyone wants to go to the elections, to make a move? I won't “bite the bullet”, but if other parties participate in the elections, then we will too,” Nesic said.

Nesic took the opportunity to once again speak out against Schmidt.

“BiH Constitution does not recognize Schmidt as a legislator, find me that act that says so. Then we're not a sovereign state, we have a guardian. He causes crises, escalates matters, and brings nothing good to BiH”, Nesic emphasized.

He said that Schmidt's imposed law brings changes to 160 polling stations out of a total of 6,000.

“According to Schmidt's imposed decisions, he will introduce additional measures at 160 places out of nearly 6,000 polling stations. Why precisely 160? Could it be that someone prepared some techniques to make a profit!?”, Nesic wondered.
