Monday morning's news drop was a doozy. There was story after story about the goings-on inside Facebook, thanks to thousands of leaked documents from Frances Haugen, the whistleblower who wants the information within those files to spread far and wide. Haugen is also set to speak in front of the British Parliament on Monday, continuing the story that is becoming known as The Facebook Papers.

Before it was The Facebook Papers, of course, it was The Facebook Files, a Wall Street Journal series that included the first looks at many of Haugen's documents. (You can read the backstory of that name change, along with more details on the consortium of journalists that worked together on the Papers stories, from The New York Times.)

The stories started to publish last Friday night, but landed with a bang Monday morning and have been coming out ever since. Since they're spread across lots of publications, we've rounded them all up in one place (in no particular order), to make them easier to find and read. We've tried to focus on the stories about the documents themselves, rather than about the fallout or the PR spin or any of the other Facebook issues from this week. And we'll keep adding stories here as new ones publish.

Mostar "Integra" Cultural and Sports Centre

CSC #integra #mostar will have a total of 46,000 m² of useful space, out of which 24,000 m² will be an underground parking area. The building will offer 4,000 seats and garage facilities for 600 parking places. CEB is waiting to receive a formal loan application from BiH authorities. In addition to WBIF technical assistance in the preparation phase, funding was provided by the Embassy of Netherlands and CEB-managed Norway Trust Account. This project was the subject of assessment by the International commission COWI-IPF in 2013 – 2014 led by the Croatian architect BORIS KORUŽNJAK.

"Although Mostar is home to a large number of cultural societies and sporting clubs, it lacks sufficient capacity for cultural and sporting events, as present facilities are almost non-existent or are inappropriately small for the city of its size. This project relates to the construction of a cultural and sports facility, CSC Integra, in the city of Mostar with the aim of helping with the integration of three ethnic communities following the 1990’s war, while also providing quality sports and cultural assembly and exhibition facilities.

The planned CSC Integra will have a total of 46,000 m² of useful space, out of which 24,000 m² will be an underground parking area and 12,000 m² cultural and sports facility space that will include office and entertainment provision. The building will offer 4,000 seats and garage facilities for 600 parking places. The project is challenged by a small land plot and its central city location, thus making traffic management difficult.

The project is carried out in three components that included:

1) the completion of the revisions to the main design and drafting of operational and sustainability plans;

2) amending the main construction design and completing relevant related documents;

3) completing the feasibility report;

4) reporting on savings in investment and operational costs directly attributed to the revisions of the tender dossier.

The facilities will benefit the population of the City of Mostar and its surrounding area, especially the youth and amongst them the disadvantaged and disabled population. The direct beneficiaries include some 18,000, including 3,500 members from approximately 50 cultural societies and 15,000 members of 105 sporting clubs.

Social benefits include a decrease in delinquencies, and drug and alcohol abuse that is widespread due to the lack of recreational facilities Mostar. Moreover, the centre will extend to the wider community allowing educational and civic use, as schools and universities are expected to utilise this facility for cultural, sport, and other events together with 40 cultural civic groups and 120 sporting clubs. The ultimate benefit of the project is the development of a social infrastructure platform that will facilitate the integration of divergent ethnic and social groups. The project should fill the gap in the provision of cultural, sports and assembly capacity, strengthen social integration by improving living conditions and quality of life in the urban area of Mostar and contribute further to the creation of conditions for sustainable development of this highly important city for the whole southern region of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The technical assistance for project preparation phase is now completed and CEB is waiting to receive a formal loan application from BiH authorities. However, given the political situation in the country, and the Mostar constitutional deadlock, in particular, it is unlikely that the City Council would be in place to submit a request for a loan anytime soon.

In addition to WBIF technical assistance in the preparation phase, funding was provided by the Embassy of Netherlands and CEB-managed Norway Trust Account."

Amir Reko za "Avaz": Goražde je herojski grad, ali ovo je toliko jadno (DnevniAvaz - elektronsko izdanje, 29.08.2021)

 https://avaz.ba/vijesti/bih/677241/amir-reko-za-avaz-gorazde-je-herojski-grad-ali-ovo-je-toliko-jadno?fbclid=IwAR2EkAl28DVXXdmxuuC3RKO6_5e9QIP0y2L-SeyewK2gIEtpAqDdFazdG3k

 

 

PROGLASILI GA NEPOŽELJNIM

Amir Reko za "Avaz": Goražde je herojski grad, ali ovo je toliko jadno

Zašto ne kažu da je 43. drinska brigada oslobodila Goražde, da je tu bitku sproveo Amir Reko, taj izdajnik kako me sada nazivaju, kaže on

Mnogo toga ružnog sam doživio, a ovo je vrhunac neljudskog. Ne znam jesu li ti ljudi razmislili šta to oni rade, kakvu nepravdu čine, ne samo prema meni nego i prema istini i istoriji.

To je  za “Avaz” kazao Amir Reko, ratni komandant 43. drinske udarne brigade ARBiH, kojeg je Gradsko vijeće Goražda u petak proglasilo nepoželjnom osobom.

Dok iz Goražda stižu tumačenja kako ovakva Deklaracija nije obavezujuća i ne nosi nikakve posljedice, Reko očekuje da mu se pruži prilika da putem lokalnih medija građanima ovog grada kaže i svoju stranu priče. 

 

 

Umjesto oružja, u Jemenu tražili pare

- Ja bih mogao pokrenuti neku tužbu, ali meni nije ni do kakvih tužbi. Mene je stid. Neka se stide oni. To jeste herojski grad, ali ovo je toliko jadno – dodaje Reko.

Bole ga optužbe da je dezerter i izdajica, te podsjeća da se Dan BPK i Grada Goražda obilježava 18. septembra, na dan kada su borci Goražda i 43. drinska udarna brigada, kojom je on komandovao, oslobodili desnu obalu Drine i okončali operaciju oslobađanja Goražda. 

- Ovdje se ne radi o meni. Radi se o brigadi, radi se o časti, poštovanju i istini. Zašto ne kažu da je 43. drinska brigada oslobodila Goražde, da je tu bitku sproveo Amir Reko, taj izdajnik kako me sada nazivaju? Zašto lažu!? Zar može neko imati veći respekt prema mrtvima od njihovog saborca!? Ja sam bio taj koji je išao u borbu sa tim hrabrim ljudima. Neka ne diraju mrtve i neka prekinu da zloupotrebljavaju mrtve – ističe Reko.

Reagirajući na obrazloženje deklaracije da u svojim medijskim istupima iznosi neistine i “baca ljagu” na branioce, Reko navodi da on “ne kalja ugled Armije, već onih koji su pravili zločine”.

- Onaj ko je bio nečovjek, kukavica, pa napravio zlo djetetu, ženi ili bilo kome, taj ne može biti nikakav častan vojnik. Ja ne štedim “municiju”, ni da li je VRS ili ARBiH. To da znaju svi. Nekome se ne sviđa što ja pominjem Jošanicu, znam da je neke i strah, ali neka izađu svi. Srbi koji su pucali na Goražde, ubijali djecu, ili vojnici ARBiH ubijali u Jošanici, ko je god napravio zločin mora odgovarati – poručuje Reko.

O rahmetlijama sve najbolje, dodaje, ali o njihovim djelima želi govoriti. I kritizirao je postupke SDA i njenog prvog predsjednika Alije Izetbegovića.

Podsjeća da je na masovnom skupu SDA u Foči uoči rata muslimanima obećano da se zločini nad njima više nikada neće desiti, a potom su i Foča, i Višegrad i drugi gradovi doživjeli pokolj.

Po odlasku iz Goražda u oktobru 1992. kaže da mu nije dozvoljen povratak, već je trebao biti dio delegacije koja je putovala u Južni Jemen po sto miliona dolara vrijednu pošiljku oružja. Umjesto njega je otišla druga osoba, a delegacija je, tvrdi Reko, na čuđenje domaćina, umjesto oružja tamo tražila pare.

"Goražde je na početku rata bilo prodat grad"

Zaključuje da je, nakon što se u medijskim istupima, “dotakao” Izetbegovića, tada po njemu krenula “paljba”.

- Goražde je grad koji je na početku rata bio prodat. I tu su ljudi ostavljeni kao žrtvena jagnjad, da ih kolju, a da se ne mogu braniti. I samo junaštvo boraca je spasilo grad. A oni sad meni govore koliko je u Goraždu poginulo djece. Neka se stide. Samo neprijatelji Bosne će jedva dočekati ovakve stvari – kaže Amir Reko.

Kroz politički angažman u Mostu 21, nastoji okupiti građane svih nacionalnosti koji ne žele Bosnu podijeljenu na begovate i koji će se usprotiviti stanju u kojem majka poginulog borca ima par stotina maraka dok vlasti obrću milione.

 

Prema pisanju Dnevnog avaza (28.08.2021) https://avaz.ba/vijesti/bih/677005/amir-reko-nepozeljna-osoba-u-gorazdu

Na prijedlog Komisije za pitanja boračko-invalidske zaštite, Gradsko vijeće Goražde jučer (27.08.2021.) je usvojilo Deklaraciju kojom se Amir Reko, ratni komandant 43. drinske udarne brigade ARBiH, proglašava personom non grata.

Ovakav dokument je predložen nakon sastanka sa predstavnicima Koordinacije boračkih udruženja iz BPK, te obrazložena Rekinim medijskim istupima u kojima, kako je navedeno, iznosi neistine na račun branilaca ovog grada i minimizira časnu borbu za odbranu Goražda.

 - Reko već duži period istupa u medijima iznosi neargumentirane tvrdnje, čak i o događajima kojima nije ni prisustvovao nakon što je otišao iz Goražda i dezertirao iz ARBiH. Na taj način kalja čast Armije RBiH, krv koju smo prolili i žrtve koje smo dali, te faktički izjednačava agresora sa žrtvom. To je njegova vrsta populizma i mi smo čekali neće li doći do izvinjenja Amira Reke, ali on se nije udostojio da se izvini te smo na kraju smo izglasali ovakvu Deklaraciju. Ovaj dokument ne predstavlja nikakvu vrstu zabrane ili fizičke opasnosti, već je ovo izražavanje stava da je nepoželjan u ovom gradu – kazao nam je predsjednik Komisije Džebrail Bajramović. 

 Gradsko vijeće preporučilo je i Skupštini BPK Goražde, te Općinskim vijećima općina Pale i Foča u FBIH da donesu ovakve deklaracije. Povod usvajanju dokumenta, koji se koristi uglavnom u međunarodnoj diplomatiji i koja nije uobičajena za niže nivoe vlasti su optužbe koje je Reko iznosio na račun pripadnika ARBiH iz Goražda, vojnih i političkih zvaničnika Goražda, u kojima je tvrdio da su neki od njih željeli čak i fizički da ga likvidiraju, ali i najviših državnih organa.

Kao kapetan JNA Amir Reko je u Goražde, uz pomoć prijatelja iz tadašnje JNA, u opkoljeno Goražde ušao ratne 1992. godine i imenovan je za komandanta 43. DUB. U Goraždu je proveo nekoliko mjeseci, a potom napustio ovaj grad. Dok predstavnici boračkih udruženja tvrde da je dezertirao, Reko je tvrdio da je spriječen da se u njega vrati nakon posjete porodici. 

Široj javnosti Reko je postao poznat po povratku iz Danske nakon rata, kada je objavljena priča o njegovom postupku nakon zarobljavanja više od 40 stanovnika sela Bučje kod Goražda. Iako je njegova porodica u selu Gudelj kod Foče ubijena na najsvirepiji način, izdao je naredbu da se zarobljenici poštede, a pregovorima postigao mirnu predaju. Nakon toga Reko je formirao i politički pokret Most 21.

Published evidence This is how Bosnia and Herzegovina robs its diaspora/ Objavljeni dokazi: Ovako Bosna i Hercegovina pljačka svoju dijasporu

 January, 2018

Diaspora criticized its representative Edim Fejzic that he became a Croat over night. As published by bhdijaspora portal, Fejzic, a Bosniak from Gorazde, inspired by lack of Croat representatives at the Cantonal Assembly - started to declare himself as a Croat. He also became a member of the Federation House of Peoples as a Croat.

Objavljeni dokazi: Ovako Bosna i Hercegovina pljačka svoju dijasporu (bhdijaspora.net)

Možda se neki neće složiti s ocjenom iz naslova ovog teksta, ali koliko god zvučalo degutantna, konstatacija iz naslova je tačna. Edim Fejzić, lažni Hrvat i ‘’predstavnik’’ bh. dijaspore je smislio način kako da opljačka narodni novac, a država mu je itekako pomogla da sve to uradi. Kako?

Bruka i sramota: Pogledajte ko predstavlja bh. dijasporu u BiH

Pa ako u Bosni i Hercegovini postoje zakoni koji su decidni po pitanju registracije pravnih subjekata, ako postoje pravila prema kojima se vrši registracija stranaka i ako postoje nekakve norme prema kojima bi se na osnovu prethodnog nacionalnog izjašnjavanja mogao utvrditi nečiji ‘’identitet’’, onda su svi ti zakoni na primjeru ovog goraždanskog ‘’dijasporca’’ mogli i morali primijeniti.

Šta je uradio Fejzić, već ste mogli čitati na BHDijaspora. net. On je inače poslanik u Skupštini Bosansko-podrinjskog kantona i delegat u Domu naroda Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine. Vjerovali li ili ne, on je u Dom naroda ušao zato što je Hrvat. Edim Fejzić, Bošnjak iz Goražda, vojnik, pripadnik Armije BiH, čovjek koji je u ratu bio na jednoj strani zbog novca je preko noći postao Hrvat. Samo je tako mogao ući u Dom naroda zbog nedostatka poslanika Hrvata u kantonalnoj Skupštini.

Za Fejzića obraz ne znači ništa

Plata u Domu naroda je oko 3.000 maraka. Uz to delegati dobijaju paušal od 640 i naknadnu za odvojeni život od 800 maraka. Od takvh brojeva boli glava. U zemlji gdje ljudi nemaju šta da jedu, gdje se akcije za pomoć bolesnima jedina nada za ozdravljenje, gdje se knjige za školovanje djece kupuju od dobrotvornih prihoda. Ali pravi razlog Fejzićevog hrvatisanja nije Dom naroda već novac koji Bosanskohercegovačkoj stranci dijaspore pripada iz budžeta. U tome je glavna kvaka!

Za Fejzića obraz ne znači ništa. Dijaspora mu je obezbijedila mandat svojim glasovima. Radila je za njega, u njemu vidjela nekog ko će predstavljati i za nju se boriti. Treba joj je neko takav. Ali Fejzić je nakon dobijenog mandata pokazao kakav je njegov pravi cilj i koliko košta obraz političara u BiH. Prvo je privatizirao stranku (država mu je to omogućila katastrofalnim propustima i to ovdje mora da se kaže), a potom je uzeo sav novac koji stranci pripada iz budžeta i samo on zna gdje su te pare završile.

BHDijaspora.net je u posjedu finansijskog izvještaja Stranke dijaspore za 2016. godinu. Sve je ovdje jasno. Ovdje nema ništa sporno – novac je legao iz budžeta, a potom mu se gubi svaki trag. Fejzić ne putuje po dijaspori, stranka nema kantonalne i općinske odbore koji rade i koji troše novac, stranka ne drži panele i ne organizuje nikakve događaje za bh. dijasporu zbog koje postoji ili bi barem zbog nje trebala postojati. Stranka Edima Fejzića postoji samo da bi bezočno krala novac države. A ista država, Stranci dijaspore je omogućila da je potkrada. Sve to u zemlji u kojoj pola miliona ljudi živi ispod granice siromaštva…

Napomena: Stranke u Federaciji BiH novac dobijaju od Federalnog ministarstva finansija koje vrši isplate, ali to Ministarstvo ne vrši kontrolu utroška novca. Sve što strankama treba nakon što novac legne na račun jeste da našu pogodnog revizora autorizovanog da svojim potpisom odobri ono što stranke žele. Niko u državi ne kontroliše utrošak tog novca jer CIK samo gleda porijeklo novca utrošenog za kampanje, ali ne i njegovo trošenje.

Pogledajte finansijski izvještaj Stranke dijaspore za 2016. godinu. Bruka i sramota!

Bosnian ISIS Backer Avoids Jail by Paying Fine (by Haris Rovcanin, BIRN) December 19, 2016

 Nedzad Mujic, alias Ebu Mubarek, sentenced to one year in prison for giving financial and other types of support to Islamic State fighters, paid a fine instead of serving his entire jail term.

Mujic’s sentence was reduced by the amount of time he had already spent in custody and he paid a further 26,000 Bosnian marks (over 13,000 euros) to avoid serving any more jail time, his lawyer told BIRN on Monday.

“Mujic spent 99 days in detention until the completion of all the procedures. When we deducted all those days, he paid the amount of 26,600 [Bosnian marks] to the Bosnian state court’s account,” his lawyer Senad Dupovac said.

After the state court accepted a plea bargain which Mujic struck with the prosecution, he was sentenced in October to 12 months in prison for travelling from Austria to Syria several times from September 2013 to mid-2015 and offering financial and other types of support to Islamic State and participating in its activities.

In a separate case on Monday, another man sentenced to one year in prison for taking part in the war in Syria had his appeal against paying his court costs rejected.

The defendant, Fikret Hadzic, had also made a plea agreement with the state prosecution and admitted his guilt.

Dupovac, who was also Hadzic’s defence lawyer, said that his client had been dismissed from his job and that his former employer had not paid his pension contributions for ten years and that no other company wanted to recruit him due to his age.

Dupovac filed evidence to the court’s appeals chamber which he said proved that Hadzic had no income or property, and was unemployed.

“Fikret Hadzic was cooperative during the trial. He signed the agreement. He publicly said going to Syria was a mistake and he chose a year in prison,” Dupovac said.

The state court in July accepted an agreement under which Hadzic admitted that he travelled to Syria via Istanbul in the summer of 2013 and that he fought in Syria. He was sentenced to one year in prison.
