Bakir Izetbegovic, who leads BiH’s largest Bosniak party, the SDA, said in an interview that it would not be difficult to start a conflict in BiH. Izetbegovic said he does not expect a conflict.
But nothing is 100 percent certain, he said, adding that one should always be ready for the worst.
“The people who suffered two great slaughters in the past 100 years, and several smaller ones shouldn’t allow itself to go through a third one. We should build our strength, be a sporting nation capable of defending itself from individuals, families and groups of people – all in line with the Constitution and law. We must learn from Israel,” he stressed.
Izetbegovic, who is also the Speaker of Bosnia’s House of Peoples, added that this must be done legally, without forming any para systems, but through the strengthening of police and domestic arms industry.
