SARAJEVO, December 15 (FENA) - Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and President of the Democratic, Željko Komšić last night in his guest appearance in the Central News with Senad Hadžifejzović on Face TV explaining the reasons for leaving the "six" in the Sarajevo Canton and forming a coalition with the SDA and SBB.

Komšić emphasized that after the formation of the government at his insistence, a man from Our Party - Edin Forto - was appointed to the post of prime minister, but that over time it became evident that the position was actually held by the leader of the People and Justice Party Elmedin Konaković, who is also the incumbent chairman of the Cantonal Assembly.

"When the government was formed in the Sarajevo Canton, at my insistence, a Prime Minister from Our Party was elected, and they appointed Edina Forto. We participated in government and supported everything good that was happening. After three to four months, it was already evident that Forto was not really the prime minister, but that it was in fact, Elmedin Konaković and that everything he was asking for was being done," said Komšić.

He said eight months ago he suggested to partners from the international community, who supported the cantonal government, that it would be a good idea to increase Forto's capacity and explained that it was not agreed that Konaković would be the Speaker of the Assembly and Prime Minister at the same time. They said at the time that they were aware of the situation and that they were working to resolve the problem.

After a few months, the problem continued, they were saying that they were trying to strengthen Forto's authority, and then strange things started to happen. Specifically, the Government began to make decisions that transfer discretion right at Konaković's request. This has grown to the level of 500,000 to 600,000 KM. We wondered why they were doing it and why the money was not used for other purposes, and the answer was that Konaković was asking for it and that it was needed for different reasons. When you look at where the money was spent, you will see that real estate was bought for certain religious officials, it was spent on Muamer Zukorlić's promotion and other purposes. After a year of this, it was time to stop it all," explains the DF president.

Hadžifejzović said that yesterday's Komšić partners, namely Nikšić and Konaković, characterized the DF's move as a betrayal of "civic, left ideals, and voters who voted for certain Komšić's ideals."

Komšić stresses that if it was a betrayal, then he feels "a proud traitor."

"If you offer us Muamer Zukorlić as a personification of the value system in Sarajevo, then we offer Mario Nenadić as a collision of two value systems. If the betrayal of choosing Nenadić, a Sarajevo Croat who was in the army, who was building FBiH and state institutions at the expense of the system offered by Effendi Zukorlić, then I am a proud traitor. Voters will voice their opinion about all of this," Komšić concluded.

The BiH Presidency Chairman Željko Komšić emphasized that he has been fighting for the ANP and NATO membership all the time in the BiH Presidency, he has won this battle, he stressed, through the 'Reform Program' and that now it was time to turn towards reforming the Election Law.
