The former president of the Bosniak Council, professor Šerbo Rastoder, said that the appearance of a new entity in the Bosniak political spectrum is not a surprise.
"I expected something like that, first of all for the reason that I think that the policy of the Bosniak Party (BS) promoted incompetence, servility and extreme inefficiency in the promotion of the interests of the Bosniak people, and it is obvious that the dissatisfaction that arose is a political he is trying to capitalize," Rastoder told Radio Free Europe.
"What is partly problematic for me is that I do not see a move away from what I called the 'politics of the Rožaj court', which reduces the entire Bosniak politics to a kind of political body within which the major directions of interests and demands of this ethnic community are not recognized", Rastoder said.
The former vice-president of BS Hazbija Kalač indirectly confirmed that they are working on the formation of a new Bosniak party in Montenegro under the name Bosniak Cultural Community.
Kalač is the current president of the Bosniak Cultural Community of Montenegro. It is a non-governmental organization that deals with the cultural content of Bosniaks.
A party called the Bosniak Cultural Community also exists in Serbia and is considered very close to mufti Muamer Zukorlić, with whom Kalač has good relations.
The media previously announced that a meeting was held at the end of last week where it was decided to start the procedure of forming a new party that most likely will not participate in the autumn local elections in Petnjica, but will focus on the local elections held in the spring in Rožaje, Plav , Bijelom Polje and Bar.
Asked whether the upcoming elections could lead to a sharper political struggle in the Bosniak electorate and lead to the emergence of more radical political options, Rastoder said that experience shows that within the Bosniak corps there were several dozen political factions that did not act autonomously and did not have the capacity to devise a comprehensive national policy.
"In this sense, I am sure that the latest political trend within the Bosniak national corps does not originate autochthonously from his interest, but rather some impulses from the outside are at issue. Therefore, I could not give a decisive answer in the sense that this match will be politically correct, but I am sure that it will lead to the disintegration of some political parties and the removal of some political leaders, and contribute to the further deterioration of the interest and reputation of the Bosniak community itself", he concluded. is Rastoder.
BS official Suljo Mustafić did not want to comment on the announcement of the new Bosniak minority party yesterday.
