CVIJANOVIĆ TO IZETBEGOVIĆ: ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION, EVERYONE IN BiH IS EQUAL, AND NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT ANYTHING SHOULD BE DETERMINED

EAST SARAJEVO, OCTOBER 21 /SRNA/ – According to the Constitution, everyone is equal, and nowhere does it state that anything should be determined numerically — yet SDA President Bakir Izetbegović is trying to make that the central issue, said the Serb member of the Presidency of BiH Željka Cvijanović.

"Even regarding the numbers, there is much to discuss, since the 2013 census was conducted manipulatively. It's enough to recall how ten or more people were allegedly living in 20 square meters, or how several large families were registered at the address of a factory destroyed during the war. But everything in due time," Cvijanović told SRNA when asked to comment on Izetbegović's statement that she is obliged to respect the Constitution and ensure proportional representation of all peoples in institutions. Cvijanović said that, for now, it is enough to note that Izetbegović suggests it is somehow unfair that, as he claims, Bosniaks make up more than 50 percent of the population yet hold only one-third of power. "That is how it will remain. If anything remains at all, after you systematically, with the help of Christian Schmidt and a judiciary that you have subordinated to your own will instead of the rule of law, push BiH into irreversible collapse," Cvijanović concluded.
