Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman said in an interview Tuesday with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) that the post of the High Representative in BiH is a remnant of the past and proof of the lack of democracy in that country.
“As a relic of the immediate post-war period, the post of the High Representative is today a manifestation of the lack of democracy in the political life of that country,” Grlić Radman said.
“Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a place for experiment. I say that not only as the Croatian foreign minister but as someone who was born in Bosnia and Herzgovina and whose family comes from there,” said Grlić Radman, referring to the so-called “Bonn Powers” which allow the High Representative to remove politicians and pass and repeal laws by decree.
Grlić Radman expressed reservations about the recent decision of High Representative Valentin Inzko to pass a law punishing the denial of genocide.
