Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Denis Bećirović said at the ceremonial academy in Cazin that Bosnia and Herzegovina is under attack by nine dangerous strategies of lies and manipulations.
"The first strategy is a strategy of diverting attention. A targeted attempt is made to divert people's attention from fatefully important issues to unimportant ones. They try to overwhelm people with a flood of irrelevant information so as not to think about crucial things essential for the preservation of the state.
The second strategy is to overthrow the state gradually, month after month, year after year. The designers of this strategy know that the sudden overthrow of the state would cause strong resistance and that is why they want to implement their goals with years of attrition and a policy of small steps. Their intention is to destroy the state imperceptibly in peace, without the Patriots of Bosnia and Herzegovina even being aware of tectonic changes.
The third strategy is to plan to cause confusion and confusion in order to present enemies as friends and friends as enemies. We have to recognize that and not allow this vicious prank.
The fourth strategy is the political, psychological and media accustomation of people to the project of division of the state. The public is systematically trying to prepare to calmly and without resistance accept the cataclysm of breaking up the state.
The fifth strategy is the abuse of emotions with the aim of disabling reasonable judgment. An approach is deliberately imposed in which we need to replace critical consciousness with emotional impulses (anger, fear...).
The sixth strategy is based on strong media indoctrination so that people do not understand the mechanisms of manipulation and the scale of danger. The goal of this strategy is to keep people as ignorant as possible so that it is easier to realize manipulation steps.
The seventh strategy is to create an environment of insecurity, apathy and pessimism. They're trying to disgust us with everything that's Bosnian. Anti-Bosnian power centres want us to give up our history, our culture, our religion, our language, our country, our heroes...
The eighth strategy is to discredit all relevant forces and individuals defending the state. The aim of this strategy is to expose all BH’s patriots by a powerful attack from the outside, and at the same time to have individuals installed inside who equate the responsibility of those who destroy and defend the state. It is no coincidence that we have a series of texts that discredit Bosnian and Herzegovinian cadres. It's part of a dangerous project.
The ninth strategy is to cause disunity and fragmentation of forces fighting to preserve the state. That is why the most panic is caused by calls for pro-state forces to gather in the fight for issues of capital importance for the state.
Why did I talk about these nine dangerous strategies? We need to warn people about this infernal plan. People need to be truthfully informed, made aware, connected and activated. Only with the state do we have a secure future," Bećirović said.
He underlined that in turbulent times of undisguised endangerment of the constitutional order, one must be united in defending an independent, sovereign and indivisible Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"Under normal political circumstances, it is desirable for political parties to compete in offering ideas, programs and projects for better organization of internal content in the country. However, at a time of direct and brutal attacks on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is necessary to gather, connect and coordinate the activities of pro-Bosnian parties in a common front for the preservation of the homeland of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We must completely subordinate party, group and individual interests to state interests. Personal, group, party or any particular animosity and vanity cannot and should not be ahead of the interests of the state. Among pro-Bosnian parties there must be no division into position and opposition when deciding on capital issues such as: preserving and affirming the independence and sovereignty of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, protecting the territorial integrity of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, respecting and affirming the principles of constitutionality and legality, unreserved support for the acceleration of Euro-Atlantic integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina; promoting and ensuring human and civil liberties. We must decisively and uniquely make it clear to political extremists, as well as their mentors beyond the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that we will respond to any activity that poses a threat to the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina institutionally, uniquely and decisively," Bećirović said.
He added that mistakes that have been accumulated for years and decades must begin to be corrected. It's not easy, but it's healing.
"It is not a good practice that dismantles legal state bodies, and transfers essential decision-making into the hands of party leaders and their headquarters. It is not good for party leaders to talk around hotels without state organs working. It is not good for party leaders to make flow water heaters out of parliaments and governments, not places of true decision-making. These are some of the mistakes we need to start correcting. At the end of the address, let me underline, we will never give up on our homeland. Never! May it be a blessing on all the noble martyrs of Bosnia and Herzegovina and may it be an eternal memory of the fallen fighters of our defensive-liberation war! Let's take care of our only homeland - Bosnia and Herzegovina! May Bosnia and Herzegovina live forever," Bećirović concluded.
