In Dnevnik.ba, BiH Croat journalist Jurica Gudelj argues that in order to stop BiH’s practical disintegration, it is necessary to stabilize Croat-Bosniak relations, starting by reforming the Election Law.
He writes that the media falsely portrays a situation in which Bosniak elites defend the BiH state while Serb elites, with the help of Croat elites, disintegrate it.
The truth is, of course, completely different and more complex. But the media likes simplifications and describing political processes according to the “good guys and bad guys” matrix.
Serb separatism is a consequence of the chronic BiH dysfunction, which stems from the violent changes of the Dayton Peace Agreement, the BiH Constitution and the Election Law by the international factor, which has always done all these interventions in favor of Bosniaks and their unitarian policy and to the detriment of Serbs and Croats.
The way Bosniaks and international officials treat Croats in the FBiH is a clear sign to Serbs that they need to work harder to strengthen the RS entity, otherwise they will be deconstituted, which is what Croats have been going through for 25 years.
