On the occasion of the agreement signed today on the establishment of local government in the municipality of Srebrenica, which was signed on behalf of Bosniaks by the SDA, SB&H and DF, the Alliance for a Better Future of B&H issued a press release.
You can read the full press release below:
- As one of the leading predominantly Bosniak political parties since its founding, SBB has supported and advocated for the unity of Bosniaks in Srebrenica and a unified political performance. In this regard, in last year's local elections, SBB absolutely supported the pro-Bosnian list "My Address: Srebrenica", the joint candidate for mayor Alija Tabaković, and in the repeated elections the Alliance firmly supported the decision of Srebrenica's political representatives to boycott the elections.
Therefore, today's move by the SDA, SB&H and DF caught us off guard and we are absolutely surprised by the behavior of the SDA, which abused SBB and all other pro-Bosnian parties in order to eventually go into a coalition with genocide deniers.
SBB and other parties that were members of the pro-Bosnian block were not informed or consulted about the negotiations, nor about the signing of any agreement on the establishment of government with the SNSD. We are saddened by the fact that in the agreement that the SDA and its partners SB&H and DF signed with the SNSD, the word genocide is not mentioned anywhere. Therefore, we believe that this violated the given word at the meeting initiated by the respected reis-l-ulema Hussein ef. Kavazović on March 5th this year - it is stated in the press release of SBB.
