Mitrović: Schmidt’s decisions are a mockery of the rule of law

The greatest post-war crisis in BiH was created through the joint actions of former Clinton-Biden ambassador Michael Murphy and Christian Schmidt, the illegal high representative who was not appointed according to Annex 10 of the Dayton Agreement but rather by the will of several Western ambassadors in Sarajevo, at the proposal of Germany, believes legal expert Slavko Mitrović.

“Schmidt does not have the mandatory confirmation of the UN Security Council, yet that does not prevent him from acting like a dictator and a colonial governor of BiH. The stench left behind by Murphy still heavily intoxicates the delusional political Sarajevo,” Mitrović wrote in a column for “Glas Srpske.”

He pointed out that although the crisis was caused by Schmidt’s actions, supported by Murphy and other Western ambassadors, everyone in Sarajevo is now trying to distance themselves from it.

“The only thing that matters is to chant in unison, offering support to the ‘state institutions’ in the persecution of three Serb leaders — in reality, the persecution of Republika Srpska,” Mitrović added.

He said that the rule of law does not mean the enforcement of Schmidt’s decisions, because they are not laws of BiH, which, according to the Constitution of BiH, can only be adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH and only within the competences granted to BiH by the Constitution.

Mitrović assessed that Schmidt’s decisions are a mockery of the rule of law and a humiliation of the sovereignty of BiH as a member of the UN.

“Domestic institutions such as the ‘Prosecutor’s Office and Court of BiH,’ as well as SIPA, have no constitutional basis for their existence, as they were imposed by the will and force of the so-called international community, which, through high representatives, the Constitutional Court of BiH, the alliance of three foreign and two Bosniak judges, as well as the unconstitutional judiciary of BiH, rules BiH without any accountability,” Mitrović stated.

He pointed out that Muslim, Bosniak political parties continue to alternate in power, yet always repeat the same rhetoric — “aggression, ethnic cleansing, genocidal creation, genocidals, state parliament, state ministry, state property, state court, smaller entity, high representative, Bonn powers, abolish the name and Republika Srpska because it offends Bosniak feelings.”

“They go to bed delusional and wake up even more delusional. And so it goes every day, for more than thirty years, since the day Alija Izetbegović said — ‘I will sacrifice peace for an independent BiH,'” Mitrović concluded.
