SARAJEVO, June 7 (FENA) - The decision of the High Representative of the International Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina Christan Schmidt was forced by the manipulative behavior of HDZ and Finance Minister Vjekoslav Bevanda, said BiH Presidency Chairman Šefik Džaferović.
- For the past year or two, the HDZ has announced that it will try to block the elections, which has obviously been the case in recent weeks. Manipulatively he tried to conceal his intentions, through these episodes with a special decision and budget.
Yesterday, the Minister of Finance proposed a decision, which very quickly turned out to be unenforceable and was proposed only as a new obstacle to the elections. I welcome the decision of the High Representative, which was necessary because, otherwise, the HDZ would challenge the basic democratic rights of citizens and because not holding elections would lead to an even bigger crisis in BiH, and no one has the right to do that.
The decision will need to be analyzed, but it is extremely important that it solves future funding and prevents the recurrence of such situations.
This is precisely the role of the High Representative to complete the system by the end of his term, make it functional, and remove such possibilities of endless blockades and manipulations, through abuses of veto, quorum, and other procedures specific to the Dayton system.
As long as there are such holes in the system, the OHR has its role in BiH and deserves full support, and challenging its role is hypocritical and irresponsible, he stressed, the Office of the Chairman of the Presidency of BiH said.
