Bosanski lonac: Cijepanje BiH dovelo bi do palestinizacije Bošnjaka i instaliranje Bliskog istoka u samo srce Europe/ Bosnian Pot: Division of BiH would cause 'palestinization' of Bosniaks and installing Near East in a very heart of Europe (Express, 5/01/2017)

Dijelovi osvrta novinara Josipa Mlakića objavljenog u hrvatskog magazinu "Ekspres" na članak Timothyja Lessa objavljenog u prestižnom američkom magazinu "Foreign Affairs" (cijeli članak ispod teksta)

Najspornija teza iz teksta je ona o nužnosti prekrajanja granica na Balkanu tako da se stvore nacionalne države, odnosno velika Srbija, Hrvatska i Albanija, i to prvenstveno na račun Bosne i Hercegovine. Republika Srpska bi po tom scenariju bila pripojena Srbiji, a uspostavljeni "treći entitet", hrvatski, bio bi pripojen Republici Hrvatskoj. Drugi veliki gubitnik prema Lessovu scenariju bila bi Makedonija, čiji bi dijelovi, uz Kosovo, bili pripojeni Albaniji.
Nakon tog procesa ostala bi Bosna kao neovisna država koja bi bila bazirana na prostor Sarajeva i ostale dijelove. Moguće je da bi se Srebrenica i dijelovi RS-a s bošnjačkom većinom mogli pridružiti bosanskoj državi. Srbi i Bošnjaci bi trebali o tome raspravljati.
Lessova analiza se ne smije tek tako odbaciti, njena najveća snaga je u tome što polazi od neodrživosti trenutnog stanja u Bo
sni i Hercegovini, do kojeg je dovela pogrešna politika Zapada.
Očajničke karte jedne potrošene politike, kao što je kontaminiranje društva sumnjivim novcem iz nedemokratskih arapskih režima koji završava u džepovima nekolicine, dodatno kompliciraju problem budućnosti BiH... Političke elite u BiH, a pogotovo bošnjačka, moraju shvatiti jedno: dosadašnja politika unitarizma je jedna krajnost, a ideje o pripojenju nekih dijelova BiH Hrvatskoj, odnosno Srbiji, druga.
Odavno ponavljam kako je ključni problem BiH Izetbegovićev SDA, koji je cijelu zemlju pretvorio u taoce pohlepe svojih odabranih članova. Nedavno je na Federalnoj televiziji emitiran prilog iz Zvornika, gdje je bošnjačka sirotinja za 50 maraka prodala svoj glas na prošlim lokalnim izborima Dodikovu SNSD-u. Je li itko na trenutak u sarajevskoj centrali, ..., pomislio na ljudsko dostojanstvo tog svijeta?

Extracts of the analysis of the journalist Josip Mlakic published in the Croatian weekly "Express" of the article of Timothy Less published in the prestigious US magazine "Foreign Affairs" (a full original text of the article below)

The most disputable thesis of the (Less's) article is on the necessity of re-drawing the borders in the Balkans with the aim to establish nation-states, i.e. Greater Serbia, Croatia and Albania, predominantly at the expense of Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to this scenario, Republika Srpska would become a part of Serbia and a newly established Croatian "Third Entity" would be annexed to the Republic of Croatia. The second big loser, according to the Less's scenario would be Macedonia, the parts of which, along with Kosovo, would be annexed to Albania.
Following this process, Bosnia concentrated to the area of Sarajevo and the other parts would remain an independent state. It is also possible that Srebrenica and parts of Republika Srpska with a Bosniak majority could become parts of such Bosnian state. Serbs and Bosniaks should discuss these options.
Less's analysis should not be rejected just like that, as its greatest power derives from the unsustainability of the present situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a result of the wrong politics of the West.
Desperate cards of drawn out politics, such as contamination of society with suspicious money from undemocratic Arab regimes ending up in the pockets of only few, further complicate the issue of BiH future... Political elites in BiH, particularly Bosniak, must comprehend one thing: the current politics of unitarism is one extreme, and the idea of annexation of some parts of BiH to Croatia and Serbia - another.
I have been stressing out for a while that a key problem in BiH is Izetbegovic's SDA, which turned the entire country into the hostage of its chosen members' greed. Only recently the Federation TV broadcast about Zvornik, where during the last local elections, the Bosniak poor had sold their vote for 50 KM to Dodik's SNSD. Was anybody at Sarajevo HQ only for a moment ... thinking of human dignity of these people?  

   

Bosna bit će cijela od ČETIRI DIJELA/ Bosnia will be single comprised of FOUR PARTS

Uskoro nakon potpisivanja Rezolucije Muslimana Hercegovine, osniva se i Vijeće Muslimana. Insistiranje na unitarnoj Republici BiH Vijeća Muslimana, za razliku od stava SDA koji je spreman na kantonizaciju RBiH, kao i mogućnost stvaranja monetarne, carinske i ekonomske unije sa Hrvatskom ukazuje na to da ni kod samih Muslimana ne postoji zajednički stav u pogledu ustavno-pravnog uređenja RBiH.
Sastanku u Međugorju između  predstavnika HDZ-a i SDA održanom 27.08.1992. prisustvovala je delegacija SDA u sastavu: Ćamil Salahović, Ismet Hadžiosmanović i Muhamed Cero. Delegacija SDA imala je ovlaštenje predsjednika predsjedništa Alije Izetbegovića da u njegovo ime vodi razgovore, uradi radne materijale i iste mu ponudi u pitanjima realizacije međudržavnog Ugovora o prijateljstvu i saradnji između Republike Hrvatske i Republike Bosne i Hercegovine.
U zaključcima usvojenim na tom sastanku utvrđeno je da je neophodno nastaviti demokratski dijalog i izražena je zahvalnost Hrvatskoj za sve ono što je učinila u BiH. Međutim, ono što je najbitnije za ovaj sastanak jeste zapravo da su delegacije dogovorile da će BiH biti sastavljena od četiri kantona:
1) Mostarsko-travnički pod Hrvatima; 2) Sarajevsko-zenički pod Muslimanima; 3) Tuzlansko-dobojski pod Muslimanima i Hrvatima i 4) Banjalučko-bihaćki pod Muslimanima i Srbima. Također, dogovoreno je da se HVO uključi u oružane snage RBiH i zadrži autonomiju u komandiranju.
Po sačinjavanju zaključaka, delegacija SDA se vratila u Zagreb i predočila zaključke i prijedlog Aliji Izetbegoviću koji se složio sa prijedlogom i ocijenio ga kao dobru osnovu za dalje pregovore. Sa prijedlogom se složio i Haris Silajdžić, koji je u to vrijeme također bio u Zagrebu na Islamskoj konferenciji koja se održavala u hotelu Intercontinental, koji je predložio da se pokuša ubaciti još jedna konstitutivna jedinica na prostorima srednje Bosne.
Što se tiče hrvatske strane, predsjednik HZ H-B, Mate Boban je oštro kritikovao prijedlog, ali se sa njim složio predsjednik Republike Hrvatske Franjo Tuđman.

Soon after the Resolution of Muslims of Herzegovina had been signed, the Council of Muslims was established. Insisting of the Council of Muslims on unitary Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RBiH), unlike the position of SDA that was prepared to negotiate on "cantonisation" of the RBiH, as well as preparedness of the SDA to further negotiate the possibility of creation of the monetary, customs and economic union with Croatia, is a clear indication that the Muslims themselves were not united in their position on the constitutional and legal establishment of the RBiH.
The meeting between the representatives of the HDZ and SDA in Medjugorje, held on 27/08/1992 was attended by the SDA delegation consisted of: Ćamil Salahović, Ismet Hadžiosmanović i Muhamed Cero. The SDA delegation was authorised by the President of the RBiH Presidency, Alija Izetbegović, to hold negotiations on his behalf and prepare the working material on the issues of implementation of the bilateral Agreement on Friendship and Cooperation between Republic of Croatia (RC) and RBiH.
The conclusions adopted at this meeting expressed a necessity to continue a democratic dialogue and gratitude to Croatia for everything it did in BiH. However, the most important aspect of the meeting was the agreement between the delegations on the future composition of BiH of four cantons: 1) Mostar-Travnik under Croats; 2) Sarajevo-Zenica under Muslims; 3) Tuzla-Doboj under Muslims and Croats and 4) Banja Luka-Bihać under Muslims and Serbs. The inclusion of the HVO (Croat Defense Council) in the structure of the RBiH Armed Forces with the autonomy in command was also agreed.
Following the adoption of the conclusions, the SDA delegation returned to Zagreb to present them to Alija Izetbegović, who agreed in general to the proposals, assessing them as a good basis for the future negotiations, Haris Silajdžić, who was also in Zagreb at the Islam Conference held at the Hotel Intercontinental, also agreed to the proposals, proposing to attempt to create one additional constitutional unit in the area of the Central Bosnia.
As for the Croatian side, a President of the Croat Union Herzeg-Bosnia, Mate Boban, fiercely criticized the proposal, but the proposal was agreed by the President of the RC Franjo Tuđman.

Tenzije između mostarskih Muslimana i Hrvata počele već u ljeto 1992/ Tensions between Muslims and Croats of Mostar surfaced already in the summer 1992

Tenzije između Hrvata i Muslimana u Mostaru otpočele su neposredno nakon zauzimanja lijeve obale Neretve. Već u avgustu 1992. godine ugledni Muslimani Hercegovine potpisuju Rezoluciju Muslimana Hercegovine u kojoj ističu da se zalažu za cjelovitu i nedjeljivu državu BiH, što je u bitnoj kontradikciji sa hrvatskim ciljevima etabliranja Herceg-Bosne, koja bi u konačnici postala sastavnim dijelom Hrvatske. Prema riječima tadašnjeg hercegovačkog muftije Hadži Seida ef. Smajkića, ova rezolucija je početno inspirisana istorijskom Rezolucijom Muslimana grada Mostara iz 1941. Rezolucija je masovno distribuirana. Također je distribuirana i kao prilog novinama Muslimana, kao što su "Ljiljani" koji izlazi u Zagrebu i "Republika Bosna i Hercegovina" koja se štampa u Splitu. Rezoluciju je do septembra 1992. godine potpisalo više od 10 000 Muslimana Hercegovine.
27.08. u Međugorju se održava sastanak između SDA i HDZ-a radi kvalitativnog poboljšanja odnosa i usvajaju se određeni zaključci. U zaključcima je utvrđeno je da je neophodno nastaviti demokratski dijalog i izražena je zahvalnost Hrvatskoj za sve ono što je učinila u BiH.

Tensions between Croats and Muslims in Mostar started soon after the left bank of the Neretva river was taken over. Already in August, 1992 respectable Muslims of Herzegovina signed the Resolution of Muslims of Herzegovina, pointing out their striving for a unitary, indivisible and single state of BiH, that was in major contradiction with the Croatian goals of further affirmation of Herzeg-Bosnia, that would eventually become a part of Croatia. According to a then Herzegovinian mufti, Hadži Seid ef. Smajkić, this Resolution was initially inspired by a historical Resolution of Muslims of the City of Mostar from 1941. The Resolution was massively distributed. It was also distributed as an addendum to the Muslim magazines and newspapers, such as "Ljiljani" printed in Zagreb and "Republika Bosna i Hercegovina" printed in Split. By September 1992, the Resolution was signed by over 10 000 Muslims of Herzegovina.
On 27.08. a meeting was held in Međugorje between the Croat political party HDZ (The Croat Democratic Union) and Muslim SDA (The Party of Democratic Action) with a purpose of qualitative improvement of mutual relations and specific conclusions were adopted. The conclusions expressed a necessity to continue a democratic dialogue and gratitude to Croatia for everything it did in BiH.

  

Obavijest o distribuciji humanitarne pomoći/ Notification on Distribution of Humanitarian Aid (mostar, 19.09.1992)

Jedan od neizbježnih pratilaca svakog rata je glad. Glad najviše pogađa civilno stanovništvo, koje je ovisno o humanitarnoj pomoći. U najvećem broju slučajeva mjesečna pomoć koja se distribuira stanovništvu ne zadovoljava dnevne potrebe organizma normalnog čovjeka.
U prilogu je obavještenje povjerenika Ratne vlade u jednoj od mjesnih zajednica u Mostaru o podjeli humanitarne pomoći u septembru, 1992.
Hrana se mogla izdavati isključivo onima koji su posjedovali određenu dokumentaciju: ličnu kartu (odrasli), zdravstvenu knjižicu (djeca) i kartone (porodične i lične).
Famozni paket Z-3 je sadržavao:
1.5 kg brašna po osobi;
1 kg mlijeka za 1/2 osobe; 2 kg mlijeka za 3/4 osobe; 3 kg mlijeka za 5/6 osoba i 4 kg mlijeka preko 7 osoba
0.5 kg riže po osobi
0.5 l ulja po osobi
0.5 šećera po osobi
1 kg tjestenine po porodici
1 komad sapuna po porodici.
Građani su bili dužni da ponesu kese i flaše za preuzimanje hrane.
U isto vrijeme je u splitskoj luci bilo uskladišteno 500 tona humanitarne pomoći koju je poslala IGASA (International Islamic Relief) iz Saudijske Arabije i Kuvajta, adresirane na predstavništvo IGASA-e u Mostaru. Kako Mostar nije imao predstavništvo IGASA-e, to je prouzrokovalo komplikacije za dopremanje humanitarne pomoći u Mostar.

One of the undeniable followers of every war is hunger. Hunger hits the hardest when it comes to civilians, who are dependent on humanitarian aid. In most cases the monthly aid distributed to the civilian population does not satisfy the daily nutrition needs of a normal human being's organism.
Attached is the notice of a representative of the War Government  in one of the local communities in Mostar on distribution of humanitarian aid in September, 1992.
The food was distributed only to the citizens in possession of specific documentation: ID (adults), health booklet (children) and record cards (family and personal).
The infamous package Z-3 was consisted of the following ingredients:
1.5 kg flour per person;
1 kg milk for 1/2 persons; 2 kg milk for 3/4 persons; 3 kg milk for 5/6 persons and 4 kg milk for 7 and more persons
0.5 rice per person
0.5 l oil per person
0.5 kg sugar per person
1 kg pasta per family
1 pcs of soap per family.  
The citizens were required to bring bags and bottles in order to pick up the food.
At the same time 500 tons of humanitarian aid sent by IGASA (International Islamic Relief) from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, addressed to the IGASA office in Mostar, was stored at the Split Harbour (Croatia).  The fact that Mostar did not have the representation office of IGASA caused complications for transfer of humanitarian aid to Mostar.

Ex files - Stolac i Sud/Tužilaštvo BiH

Danas, preko dvadeset godina nakon rata u BiH, više no ikad se govori o kolektivnoj odgovornosti naroda, umjesto da se utvrdi odgovornost i kazne individualni počinitelji krivičnih djela.

Sud i Tužilaštvo BiH su formirani primarno radi preuzimanja uloge procesuiranja ratnih zločina od haškog tribunala, koji je trebao prestati sa radom. Sama reforma krivičnog zakonodavsta u BiH išla je u tom pravcu i veliki dio odredaba pravila haškog tribunala je prenesen u krivične propise BiH.

Navedene institucije trebale su imati glavnu ulogu u procesu pomirenja i stvaranja i održavanja mira i stabilnosti u zemlji. Međutim, najnovija događanja u BiH i regiji Zapadnog Balkana generalno, više nego ikad, ukazuju na to da su one podbacile, da su prevaziđene, te da su zapravo postale same sebi svrha. Da bi osigurale enormna sredstva za održavanje vlastitih birokratskih aparata, počele su se ponašati kao ekonomski subjekti i prilagođavati tržištu, što je u krajnjoj liniji dovelo do politizacije njihovog rada i potpunog gubitka povjerenja javnosti u njihovu nezavisnost i kompetentnost. Jedan od najočitijih pokazatelja potpune pasivnosti i indiferentnosti Suda i Tužilaštva BiH je recentni skandal u Stocu, gdje su glasali mrtvi ljudi.

Danas, preko dvadeset godina nakon rata u BiH, više no ikad se govori o kolektivnoj odgovornosti naroda, umjesto da se utvrdi odgovornost i kazne individualni počinitelji krivičnih djela.

Ex Files - Cases of Stolac and BiH Court/Prosecutor's Office

Today, twenty and so years after the war in BiH, more than ever, collective responsibility of ethnic groups is being discussed, instead of having established individual guilt and punished actual perpetrators of crimes.

BiH Court and Prosecutor's Office were established primarily to take over the role of processing war crimes from the Hague Tribunal, which was about to close. The BiH criminal legislation reform itself was headed in the same direction and a part of the provisions of the Hague Tribunal Rules was incorporated in the BiH regulations.

The said institutions should have had a major role in the process of reconciliation and creating and keeping peace and stability in the country. Nevertheless, the latest happenings in BiH and the Western Balkans in general, more than ever, indicate that they have failed; they have been overcome, and that in reality they have become their own purpose. In order to secure enormous resources for maintenance of their own bureaucratic apparatus, they started to act as economic subjects and adapt themselves to the market, eventually leading up to the politicization of their work and total loss of public trust in their independence and competence. One of the most obvious indicators of complete passiveness and indifference of the BiH Court and Prosecutor's Office is the recent scandal that took place in Stolac, where the dead men voted.

Today, twenty and so years after the war in BiH, more than ever, collective responsibility of ethnic groups is being discussed, instead of having established individual guilt and punished actual
perpetrators of crimes.
