A COUNTRY WITHOUT DIPLOMACY: How Konaković embarrassed Bosnia and Herzegovina thrice in 5 days

It took me a little bit over a yr “troika” minister Elmedin Konaković turning Bosnia and Herzegovina’s diplomacy into mud and ashes. This was demonstrated by the case of the Decision on the genocide in Srebrenica. The Minister of Overseas Affairs, Elmedin Konaković, hastened instantly after the Decision was voted to say that he would ship protest notes to the international locations that had been in opposition to it. However it’s a weak curiosity, he writes Stav.ba.

The actual fact is that Konaković didn’t cope with diplomacy, most likely didn’t arrive as a result of he had his palms full defending his godfather and himself from accusations of reference to the drug cartel from Dubai. Within the United Arab Emirates the minister travels most frequently, as a result of some trivial obligations, his visas had been revoked as quickly as he sat within the chair within the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, and had been suspended when it comes to the Resolution. A lot for the diplomacy of Minister Konaković, who didn’t even trouble to say the Decision anyplace till it was adopted by the United Nations Basic Meeting.

However that isn’t the one insult to the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a state that left Elmedin Konaković, alongside together with his companions, with out diplomacy and a transparent international coverage. From Monday till at the moment, Minister Konaković didn’t discover it acceptable to precise his condolences to IR Iran for the loss of life of his colleague, Minister of Overseas Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi.

All members of the BiH Presidency expressed their condolences, together with Željka Cvijanović. Konakovic was afraid of what Michael Murphy would say about that. However, as soon as once more, Iran voted in favor of the Decision, though its primary allies Russia and China had been adamantly in opposition to and even lobbied in opposition to the Decision. Though on this case Iran sided with America, its sworn enemy. It is because Iranians usually are not afraid of what somebody will say, however as a result of it’s so proper and simply. It is as in the event that they know the previous Bosnian proverb “I do not give it to us, so go away the top”. However Konaković, then again, hastened to state that “our ideas” are with Robert Fica, the prime minister of Slovakia who was wounded. However the truth that Konaković’s ideas had been with the Prime Minister of Slovakia didn’t change the perspective of this nation to be restrained concerning the Resolution.

Yesterday we noticed in motion one other painful defeat of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Azerbaijan diplomacy, who didn’t vote regardless that he was current on the session, explaining that they needed to be mates with everybody. So, financial pursuits. The minister, in fact, didn’t even trouble to go to Azerbaijan.

Whereas the minister is typing protest notes, if he sends them in any respect, and he must ship them not solely to international locations that had been in opposition to him, but additionally to international locations that had been suspended such because the United Arab Emirates, however we are able to try this, others will do his work once more.

Particularly, the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Bosnia and Herzegovina has organized a reception on the event of Azerbaijan’s Independence Day for Might 27. A few of those that obtained entry invites are publicly rejecting the invites. that is okay Adnan Efendicthe consultant of the SDA within the FBiH Senate and the president of the Municipal Institute of the SDA Novi Grad Sarajevo has introduced on Fb that he won’t attend the reception.

“I obtained your invitation to attend the ceremony to mark the 106th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Randon Plaza Lodge in, and I wish to categorical my gratitude for the invitation. Nevertheless, from a deep conviction that your nation has not proven sympathy for the genocide dedicated in Srebrenica, I have to inform you that I can not reply to your invitation. The rationale for my absence stems from Azerbaijan’s choice to not assist the Genocide Decision.

As a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I imagine that supporting human rights and condemning the genocide dedicated in opposition to my individuals is of civilizational significance for the entire world, and for us the wound that can stay is simply a small comfort our hearts ceaselessly. . Due to this fact, in the meanwhile, I see my participation within the occasions you manage, opposite to my ethical human values”, wrote Efendić.

When Konaković shouldn’t be engaged in diplomacy, for which he’s paid with taxpayers’ cash, somebody has to.
