Zirojević to Nurković: Take mathematics again or stop lying to the Bosniak people

"If he had paid attention in class, and this is taught in elementary school as well, colleague Nurković would have known that 7 percent of 300.000 and 7 percent of 650.000 cannot be equal," says the Social Democrat MP.

Social Democrat MP Nikola Zirojević said that the statement of Bosnian Party MP Mirsad Nurković that his party was supported by 85 percent of those who identify themselves as Bosniaks in the previous elections is not correct.

In a press release delivered to the media, Zirojević said that he was not surprised that Nurković ran into the arms of Milojko Spajić, because as he judged, according to populist lies, they belong together.

"My colleague Mirsad Nurković's biography says that he graduated from the Faculty of Economics in 2000. My sources (I apologize in advance if I'm wrong) say that he graduated in Pristina. So, during the war. I don't know how it was with the other subjects, but I am really surprised and ask how my colleague Nurković is doing and whether (because there was a war) he passed mathematics and statistics.

But I'm not surprised that he ran into the arms of Milojko Spajić - according to populist lies, they belong together. Colleague Nurković claims that Bosniaks in the 2011 census were 8,7%. And he is right there. More precisely, 8,65 percent, but that's basically it. He also claims that the Bosniak Party won 7,1 percent in the last elections, more precisely 7,08 percent, but that's basically it. And that's the only true thing that Mirsad Nurković said in this presentation," states Zirojević and says that everything after that is either a deliberate lie to deceive Bosniaks, or classic ignorance that causes one to fail math and statistics exams.

"Colleague Nurković triumphantly concludes - the Bosniak party was supported by 85 percent of those who identify themselves as Bosniaks. If he really believes in what he said, I invite my colleague Nurković to burn his college diploma on the first cold Rozaj night in the stove to keep himself warm. Because, as we have seen, the vice president of the Government can be without a diploma, so why not the vice president of the Assembly?

Let me clarify - the turnout in the last parliamentary elections in Montenegro was 56,28 percent. So, out of 542.468 registered voters, 302.436 of them went to the polls. Of that number, 7,08 percent, or 21423 votes, actually voted for the Bosniak Party. However, that number also differs from the number of citizens of Montenegro who declared themselves Bosniaks. There were 53605 of them, i.e. 8,65 percent of the total number of inhabitants," the SD representative points out.

If he had paid attention in class, adds Zirojević, and this is taught in elementary school, colleague Nurković would have known that 7 percent of 300.000 and 7 percent of 650.000 cannot be equal.

"So, colleague Nurković, out of 53605 citizens who declared themselves Bosniaks in the census, 21423 voted for the Bosniak Party. So, not even two fifths, more precisely, just under 40 percent. What does the following tell us - that over 60 percent of Bosniaks in Montenegro do NOT VOTES Bosniak party.

So, colleague Nurković, either take mathematics and statistics again, or stop lying to the Bosniak people in order to realize your personal interests," concludes Zirojević.
