The head of the Bosniak Party (BS) MP club, Amer Smailović, announced today that the vice president and MP of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Abaz Dizdarević, gave up on civic Montenegro when he agreed to hand over the position of mayor of Bijelo Polje to his party colleague Petar Smolović.
Smailović said this after Dizdarević said earlier today that the statement by Bosniak MP Kenana Strujić Harbić that Bosniaks see Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) as their home state, even if it was given as a personal comment based on family discourse, essentially contradicts the civil order of Montenegro, legitimizing the hegemonic ideas of nationalists.

"Esteemed colleague and brother Abaz, you gave up on civic Montenegro the moment you agreed to hand over the position of mayor of the Municipality of Bijelo Polje, as the leader of the list and a man who was presented in the campaign as the future president, to Petar, because 'the mayor of the Municipality and the president of the Municipal Assembly cannot both be Bosniak'. So, for those who make decisions and for your party, you are first a Bosniak and then a man - a party member and respected Bijelo Polje resident Abaz Dizdarević," Smailović pointed out in a statement.
He added that this has nothing to do with the civic character of society.
"Therefore, Abaze, I urge you to fight together for a civil state in which your nationality will not be an obstacle to being the mayor," said Smailović.
