First of all, last week, after several months of political agony, the rulers somewhere in the grandmother's private room allegedly agreed that they would come to an agreement and that they would release all our inhibitions so that, of course, the sun would shine for all of us and so that we could solve all our problems, and once finally traced the proclaimed European path. In all of this, one cannot fail to see an analogy with all those Butmir-Prud and other agreements that in the years behind us awakened and drowned optimism. A lot of water has passed through our rivers, a lot of miseries have poured into our everyday life, we have become trapped in the chains of a permanent transition that cannot reach any other shore, so every flare of normality seems like some kind of hope.
No matter how many times we have been deceived, and no matter how intractable things seem to be here, there is some minimum of human hope and desire that this country can at some point reach a point of normality and cease to be a black hole, a country that needs constant vigilance and mourn. However, viewed from the side of reason, it is hard to really believe that they can truly agree on something, that is, that determination to make us better is what any government in Bosnia and Herzegovina is guided by. There have been too many betrayals in the past decades for citizens who googled political misdeeds to really turn with any confidence to what the political elites and their associated structures do, plan and announce. It is clear even to the birds on the branch that the state of this servitude, the constant exposure of the entire society to the pressures and manipulation of nationalist frictions, has reached a point where no reasonable solution is in sight. We have become hostages trapped in a world that is changing from the core, and we are wasting our time in the inability to get out of the narrative of the nineties and the primacy of ethnic blackmail in order to at least try to tidy up and functionalize this state in its self-sustainability.
Then the emissaries from the Union came, they were not even an hour late, because when they had already agreed on something there in the Latakia district, then it is order and good custom for them to come and use their bureaucratic vocabulary to amine what the local pregos agreed between themselves . And when they come, it seems from their phraseological constructions, the language of dry declarations, declamations and everything else, that nothing of what they supposedly agreed upon is actually neither certain nor close. I feel our impatience for something to finally move returns again and again to those low branches of hope. Hence, all media reports that follow the development of meetings at the highest state level and visits of international officials regularly include someone, this time the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, saying that progress is clearly visible in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but that additional results are needed. especially when it comes to democracy and the rule of law. All this is the same thing, or the same thing, but a little different, which we have been listening to for decades, but when we come to the moment when we should finally get something out of it, we are cooled by the attitude that we still need a little more. "It is in your hands to accept this path and let nothing steer you off this course," Von der Leyen said. And even though we know all that, we can't escape the impression that it once again means almost nothing, because the belief that the policies being conducted in BiH are aimed at something being in our hands and that we won't deviate from the course seems weak and almost impossible. "During the meetings, I mentioned the great motto we have in the EU, which is united in diversity. You really have diversity, but you are united in one goal, which is the EU", added the president of the European Commission, and it seems that the fish in Miljacka and Vrbas have long since united, but it also seems that the political elites in BiH was only united in one thing: that this country should never be turned normally towards the people who live in it. We, it seems, are not even close to that unification yet, because it denies us all on a daily level, disuniting us.
