Michael Murphy still cannot accept that his mandate in BiH has ended, and every time he speaks out, he confirms what Republika Srpska has long known – that being an ambassador was not enough for him and that he saw himself as the political administrator of BiH, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Staša Košarac said.
Košarac said that a man who for years tried to act as a political tutor in BiH is now insulting anyone who dares to say something in the United States that does not suit Sarajevo’s political circles.
“Who is he to decide what is acceptable, what is a myth and what is a legal fantasy?!” Košarac asked, reacting to Murphy’s claim that an article titled “Let Bosnia Collapse: Why Trump Must Recognize Republika Srpska,” published in the American weekly Washington Examiner, was part of what Murphy described as comprehensive lobbying efforts aimed at changing the narrative about BiH in Washington.
Košarac stressed that, for Murphy, anything that challenges his version of BiH is disinformation, while anything that does not fit his political agenda is a legal fantasy.
Košarac said it was particularly hypocritical for Murphy himself to speak about lobbyists and foreign influence.
“If anyone spent years trying to shape political relations in BiH according to the interests of the Biden administration, it was Murphy. Together with the occupier Schmidt, Murphy orchestrated the political persecution of the legitimately elected President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, while favoring the opposition in Srpska, which was his choice and which obeyed him without question,” Košarac told Srna.
He assessed that Murphy’s nervous reaction merely demonstrated how much it bothered him when people in Washington began openly discussing the reality of BiH and the rights of Republika Srpska.
“Republika Srpska will not disappear because Murphy does not like it. As far as Republika Srpska is concerned, he can write as much as he wants. Srpska will continue to exist without his approval,” Košarac concluded.
