Potencijali vojne industrije i znanje i iskustvo njenih ljudi mogu izvući BiH iz duboke krize

"Pretis" Vogošća, "Pobjeda" Goražde, BNT Novi Travnik, "Zrak" Sarajevo, "Igman" Konjic, "Binas" Bugojno... samo su neki od nekadašnjih giganata vojne industrije Bosne i Hercegovine. Većina ovih firmi danas je u smrtnom hropcu, radnici godinama nisu primali plaće, oni koji imaju uvjete za penziju ne mogu je ostvariti jer im dosadašnje vlasti nisu uplaćivale doprinose. 

Nekada ponos BiH, danas su mjesta užasne agonije. 

Odgovornost za ovakvo stanje u najvećem je dijelu na SDA i Stranci za BiH. Oni su godinama uništavali nekadašnju kičmu bh. industrije.

Radnici "Pretisa" s pravom su uprli prstom u takvu pogubnu politiku. Ove dvije stranke godinama su na čelo Federalne direkcije za namjensku industriju postavljali kompromitirane i nesposobne kadrove čiji je jedini zadatak bio da dodatno devastiraju vojnu industriju BiH i u stranačke kase donesu novi reket. 

Ova direkcija nikada nije organizirala fabrike i odvela ih na ijedan bitan međunarodni sajam, a kamoli da je donijela vrijedne poslove. 

Prisjetimo se samo skandala s narudžbom oružja za Pakistan. SDA - SBiH vlast uradila je sve da zataška aferu i zaštiti svoje lopove. 

Nova vlast, koja je još u nastanku, mora se odlučno obračunati s mafijom i u ovom segmentu. Jer, potencijali vojne industrije i znanje njenih ljudi mogli bi BiH više nego uspješno izvući iz krize.
