The Vice-President of the Parliament and the Bosniak Party, Suljo Mustafić, said that his visit to Turkey and the meeting with the President of that country, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, cannot be connected with the presidential elections in which Erdogan triumphed.
He told "Vijesta" that he was in Turkey immediately before the elections as a member of the Committee for International Relations and Emigrants and took advantage of the open invitations of several groups of emigrants to visit them.
"I took advantage of the open invitation of several associations of emigrants and when there was no activity in the Assembly, I stayed in Turkey. It cannot be linked to the elections, I met with Erdogan in Ankara before and when there were no elections," said Mustafić.
The Democratic Front called Mustafić's visit to Turkey extremely problematic, especially his meeting with Erdogan. "During his stay, with the official purpose of his visit, Mustafić visited several associations and associations that bring together our emigrants. But the 'coincidence' of organizing all those meetings right before the presidential elections is more than transparent, and casts a shadow on the official occasion itself. trips to Turkey. That's why it can also be said that numerous meetings with our emigrants were misused, as a formal reason, a cover before the elections, with an immediate meeting with Erdogan, and thus giving unequivocal support to one of the several presidential candidates," said Dragan Koprivica from DF -a.
Mustafić stated that the visit bothers those groups that "deal with some stereotypes of the past" and added that BS and Erdogan's AKP are on good terms. "His party was a guest at the BS congress, there are relations between the parties," he said and added that a significant number of investors come from Turkey, "Turkey is a friend of all citizens, regardless of nationality."
