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.

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.

Ko želi raditi za EUFOR mora biti "dobro održavan"/ The one who wants to work with the EUFOR must be "well-kept"

Jučer sam sasvim slučajno u birou za zapošljavanje na oglasnoj ploči pronašla ovaj biser, kojem je nažalost istekao rok, pa se ne mogu više prijaviti, iako nisam sigurna da bih ispunila stroge minimalne uslove navedene u konkursu.

Radi se o konkursu za prevodioca koji je objavio EUFOR u BiH, tačnije njihov austrijski kontigent. Ono što mi je odmah privuklo pažnju bila su dva minimalna uslova, formulisana kao:
"DOBRO ODRŽAVAN/LIJEP IZGLED" i "DOBRO ZNANJE LATINIČNIH SLOVA". Također, od kandidata se traži da bude sposoban za "konsekutivnu komunikaciju na lingvističkim i kulturnim osnovama".
Ko utvrdi i tačno prebroji sve greške u ovom konkursu, neka se javi na adresu: eufor.cimic@bmlvs.gv.at. Sretnom pronalazaču navodno slijedi nagrada! :)

Yesterday I found this pearl of wisdom at the notice board of the employment office in Sarajevo. Unfortunately, the offer has expired, although I am not sure if I would meet the strict minimum requirements from the advertisement.

The EUFOR in BiH, its Austrian Contingent has issued the vacancy for an interpreter/  "TRANSLATER". The two minimum requirements that immediately drew my attention were formulated as:
"WELL-KEPT/NICE APPEARANCE" and "WELL-KNOWING OF THE LATIN LETTERS". The applicants are also expected to be capable of "CONSECUTIVE COMMUNICATION ON LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BASIS".
If you find all the mistakes in this advertisement, please contact:eufor.cimic@bmlvs.gv.at.
Apparently, a lucky winner will get a prize! :)

Norbert Winterstein: Prognani Bošnjaci jesu uzrok sukoba u Mostaru (seminar o lokalnoj demokratiji u BiH i Evropi - Tuzla, novembar, 1994.)

Dolaskom izbjeglica iz Istočne Hercegovine u Mostar, etnička slika u ratnom Mostaru 1993. godine se de facto promijenila. Prema popisu iz 1991. godine, u Mostaru je živjelo 33,80 % Hrvata i 34,48 % Muslimana, tako da je razlika iznosila oko  0,68 % u korist Muslimana. Prema popisu koji je u martu 1993. godine obavio Odjel za socijalni rad HVO Mostar broj Muslimana se povećao, tako da je sada bilo oko 18,51 % više Muslimana.
Za Hrvate je novonastala situacija očito predstavljala problem, što je evidentno iz razgovora Petra Zelenike, dozapovjednika HVO Mostar sa novinarima Nedjeljne Dalmacije, gdje on, između ostalog navodi da bi ljudi iz vrha Republike BiH morali voditi računa o svom ponašanju i vratiti te ljude odakle su došli. Očito je da je rukovodstvo HVO-a postalo vrlo zabrinuto, jer na kraju razgovora, Zelenika zaključuje: "Mostar će biti hrvatski, to je središte Herceg-Bosne i tu nema dileme."
Pitanje izbjeglica iz Istočne Hercegovine i promijenjenog etničkog balansa u Mostaru, ponovo se vratilo u fokus pažnje javnosti, nakon što je Norbert Winterstein, voditelj odjela za gradsku upravu Uprave Evropske unije nad Mostarom, na seminaru o lokalnoj demokratiji u BiH i Evropi, održanom u Tuzli u novembru, 1994. godine izjavio da su prognani Bošnjaci uzrok sukoba u Mostaru. Winterstein je tada naveo da se ti ljudi nisu mogli uklopiti u gradski život, te da su Hrvati mogli izgubiti svoj identitet, i njihova religija i kultura su mogli doći u pitanje.

The influx of refugees from Eastern Herzegovina to Mostar changed de facto the ethnic structure in a 1993 war affected Mostar. According to the 1991 census, Croats made 33,80 % and Muslims 34,48 % of the population, which was ca  0,68 % difference. However, according to the census from March, 1993 made by the Social Welfare Department of the Croatian Defense Council, the number of Muslim population increased, so at that point a total difference grew to 18,51 % in favor of the Muslim population.
The new situation was obviously seen as a problem for Croats, which is evident from the interview of Petar Zelenika, deputy commander of the Croatian Defense Council, Mostar with the journalists of the Nedjeljna Dalmacija, where inter alia, he stated that the top leaders of the Republic of BiH, had to take care of their own behavior and send those people back to where they had come from It is obvious that the Croatian Defense Council was very concerned, as at the end of the interview, Zelenika concluded: "Mostar will belong to Croats; it is a seat of Herzeg-Bosnia and there is no dilemma about this."
The Eastern Herzegovina refugee issue, as well as the modified ethnic structure in Mostar, was once again the focus of the public attention, after Norbert Winterstein, a head of the City Administration Department of the EU Administration of Mostar, had stated at the seminar on local democracy in BiH and Europe, held in Tuzla in November, 1994, that the Bosniak refugees were the cause of the conflict in Mostar. On this occasion, Winterstein stated that those people had failed to adapt to the urban lifestyle, and that Croats could have lost their identity and their religion and culture could have come under the question.

Paralelno sa postojanjem Socijalističke republike Bosne i Hercegovine, od novembra 1991. postoji i Hrvatska zajednica Herceg-Bosna. Sa osnivanjem se počelo skoro pet mjeseci prije održavanja referenduma za nezavisnost, kada je 12.11. 1991. proglašena Hrvatska zajednica "Bosanska Posavina" u Bosanskom Brodu, da bi 18.11. 1991. u Mostaru bila usvojena Odluka o uspostavi Hrvatske zajednice Herceg-Bosna (HZ H-B). Odluku je potpisao predsjednik HZ H-B mr. Mate Boban.
6. aprila 1992, dakle 2 dana prije proglašenja neposredne ratne opasnosti u BiH, već dobro naoružane i obučene, snage bosanskohercegovačkih Hrvata i dijela Muslimana (broj Muslimana u sastavu HVO-u je varirao od 20- 30%), su zvanično dobile svoju vojsku - Hrvatsko vijeće obrane (HVO). HVO je osnovan kao vojna komponenta HZ H-B i odmah po zvaničnom osnivanju je preuzeo zakonodavnu, izvršnu i vojnu vlast HZ H-B pod vrhovnim zapovjedništvom mr. Mate Bobana. Zapovjednik Glavnog stožera (štaba) Mostar je bio Petar Zelenika.
The Croat Union of Herzeg-Bosnia had been established in November 1991 within the legally functioning Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, almost five months before the Independence Referendum was held. The establishment of the Croat Union of Herzeg-Bosnia started with the proclamation of the Croat Union "Bosnian Posavina" in Bosanski Brod on November 12, 1991, which was followed by the adoption of the Decision on Establishment of Croat Union Herzeg-Bosnia (HZ H-B) on November 18, 1991 in Mostar. The Decision was signed by the President of the HZ H-B Mate Boban.
On April 6, 1992 - two days before the proclamation of the immediate war danger in Bosnia and Herzegovina, well armed and trained forces of BiH Croats and a part of Muslims (a number of Muslims in the HVO composition varied between 20 and 30%) had officially established their army - Croatian Defense Council (HVO). HVO was established as a military component of HZ H-B and immediately after the official establishment took over legislative, executive and military power of HZ H-B, under the supreme command of Mate Boban. The Commander in Chief of the Main HQ Mostar
was Petar Zelenika.
