ECHOES OFTHE STORM IN BIH

'Flirting with the right will not pay off for Milanovic. He has already paid the price for that once ... ' Bosniaks from Mostar are especially outraged at Milanovic, where, according to the indictment, Jelic is guilty of killing and wounding 40 prisoners Writes: Jutarnji HRPosted: August 13, 2020 8:41 pm Zoran Milanović and Zlatan Mijo Jelić Zoran Milanović and Zlatan Mijo Jelić Nikša Stipaničev / Cropix Medved: 'Serbia must face the past, with its role in the implementation of the Greater Serbia ideology' GREAT ANALYSIS Six turning points in Knin: 'Plenković managed to finally break the Storm and HDZ out of the hands of the Radicals' In BiH, the "dust" was unnecessarily "raised" due to the moves of Zoran Milanović , sociology professor Slavo Kukić assessed for DW . It is about the awarding of orders to HVO units, which was received on their behalf by retired General Zlatan Mijo Jelic during the celebration of the "Storm" anniversary in Knin, against whom an indictment for war crimes was filed in BiH, Deutsche Welle writes. "It was possible, truth be told, to act wiser than Milanovic did. The increased tensions regarding the decorations of the HVO brigades forced me to read the Split Agreement from 1995 once again, and based on it, there is really no reason for the nervousness expressed in BiH, "Kukić points out. "On the other hand, if the reason for nervousness is the fact that General Jelic took over the recognition on behalf of the Special Police, I am afraid that they are running in front of the mine, regardless of the fact that I would have acted differently than Zoran Milanovic." Because, the accusation does not mean the status of a war criminal. Let us remember, after all, that Naser Orić was also indicted for war crimes , so he was acquitted in court. I mean, it is not good if the role of the court is taken over by the bazaar ", says Kukić for Deutsche Welle. "Milanovic - a classic Machiavellian like Lagumdzija and Dodik" He notes that Zoran Milanović today is much more associated with politicians from the 1990s and that it will not pay off for him to flirt with the radical right. "He already paid the price of that flirtation once, in 2016, and unfortunately, because of his flirtation, the SDP as well. He'll pay her, I'm sure, again. Because, for the Croatian right-wing electorate, he will always be a follower of communist ideology, regardless of the fact that he is, as far as I am concerned, a man without ideology, a classic Machiavellian like Zlatko Lagumdzija, Milorad Dodik and the like, "Kukic concluded. "Milanovic will not pay for flirting with the radical right" Bosniaks from Mostar are especially outraged at Milanovic, where, according to the indictment, Jelic is guilty of killing and wounding at least 40 prisoners of war, and as commander of the Special Police, he was also in charge of running the infamous Heliodrom camp. Dnevni Avaz reports the reaction of the wartime mayor of Mostar and the director of the Center for Peace and Multiethnic Cooperation, Safet Orucevic . "Milanovic shows that he is an immature politician and that he reduced the SDP to the level of Jelic. It turns out that Milanovic and Jelic are the same, "Orucevic said, among other things. "The BiH Army helped the HV liberate Croatia" Plenković's message from the Knin Fortress that "Storm" saved Bihać from the Srebrenica scenario did not go unnoticed in BiH. The "storm" helped unblock Bihac, but units of the 5th Corps of the BiH Army tied most of the forces of the so-called Republika Srpska Krajina to themselves, says military analyst Nedzad Ahatovic. "In the end, the units of the HV and the Army of BiH met on the territory of Croatia and not BiH, and as much as 'Storm' helped the 5th Corps, so much did the 5th Corps help the HV to liberate the occupied territory of Croatia ", says Ahatović for Deutsche Welle. For Ahatović, the merits of "Storm" for the end of the war are indisputable. "With US approval and NATO intervention in Operation Deliberate Force, the conditions were met for the continuation of offensive operations by the BiH Army (Sana 95), HV and HVO in September 1995, which is eventually led to the collapse of the soldiers Radovan Karadzic and Slobodan Milosevic and the end of the war in BiH, writes Deutsche Welle. The operations were stopped, with the American threat of bombing the BiH Army, which was advancing towards Prijedor and Banja Luka. The fighting ceased when the units reached the demarcation lines previously drawn by the Contact Group. And that is today's inter-entity line between the Federation of BiH and RS ", says Ahatović.
