Namely, it is clear that the Constitutional Court made its decision under the strong pressure of the international community. Even certain judges of the Constitutional Court admit that, naturally off record. And they receive salaries of $2,5000-$3,000 a month!
Therefore, let us set them aside this time, alone with their conscience, and let us address the true creators of this and numerous similar recent decisions.
Simply, even after five years some ambassadors, some officials of international organizations and agencies do not know or do not want to admit the fundamental truths about Bosnia-Hercegovina, about what took place in BH during the war, who prepared the war, who played which role in it, and most importantly, who now wants what in BH and around it.
If, namely, even now it is claimed that national parties and wartime leaders are to be blamed for the war, and if Serbia and Croatia are put in the same plane as equally responsible for the war in BH, if "Bosnianism" is promoted as a substitute for ethnic identity, if a single school system is demanded, if [foreign officials] talk about small nations (one guesses there must be big nations as well), then it is clear that it is impossible to achieve success based on so many prejudices and stereotypes. Finally, who can represent a nation? And has anyone ever established what a certain nation wants, whether it wants BH as a state at all? If it does, what kind of state does it want, and what relations with other nations does it want?
The most stupid approach is to persevere with the project that obviously cannot be implemented, is irrational, very expensive, and does not offer any chance for final success. And the final success implies that people and nations are satisfied with the state they live in and with their economic, social, and political position. As such a situation is still far from us, finally something radical has to be done to start in the desired direction.
The process at work, reflected in the recent session of the lower chamber of the BH Parliament, especially the discussion and voting about Martin Raguz, the president of the Council of Ministers, not only does not lead in that direction but testifies about the opposite. Namely, everything that happened before the elections, during the elections, and in the attempts to constitute the new authorities, was the product of policy led by willfulness, policy based on stereotypes and prejudices. Now, when that policy has been pushed to absurd ends, wise persons have no other way out but to accept reality and devise a new model for BH.
The process at work still ignores those facts. Its protagonists, a part of the international community and neo-Communists, are trying to bring the things to the pre-war situation. And they say: there has never been hatred in BH; hatred was produced by national parties; they caused and led the war; let us get rid of the national parties and the problem of Bosnia-Hercegovina is resolved. That dangerous prejudice, which can seem to the ignorant as a logical fact, closes the door to the solution of the problem. Even if that were correct, it still does not make sense to replace national parties, using pre and post electoral engineering, by extreme nationalist parties led by wartime leaders, even those suspected of committing war crimes. Even if we accepted the rule that goals justify means, we still could not accept the fact that exactly such individuals are supposed to take us to the goal.
