Podcast BURA - David de Bruijn: Gotovo ni jedna zemlja nema pravilo „jedan čovjek, jedan glas“

Dr. David de Bruijn, docent na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta Auburn, Alabama, u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, u Podcastu Bura govorio je svome interesu za politička zbivanja u BiH te je iznio svoju viziju rješenja za temeljne bh. probleme.

Kazao je kako BiH ima odličan potencijal za razvoj te kako je optimističan kad je u pitanju budućnost BiH. Zemlje mogu imati ogromne probleme, objasnio je, mogu imati vlasti koje ne dozvoljavaju ljudima da se razvijaju i slično, ali ništa od tog ne vidi u BiH. Naprotiv, BiH vidi kao zemlju koja zapravo ima sjajnu perspektivu.

Ipak, naveo je kako tri naroda u BiH vode bitku za unutarnji utjecaj te da je to nesretna okolnost za BiH. Ironično je i nesretno, dodao je, da je SAD predvidjela u Daytonu da bi Hrvati i Bošnjaci u FBiH trebali biti protuteža potencijalno separatističkim politikama iz RS.

Nesretno je što su se politike iz Sarajeva koncentrirale na Hrvate u FBiH i kako ovladati tim narodom. Mišljenja je kako je za stabilnost BiH ključno da se ostvari ono što je predviđeno Washingtonskim sporazumom, odnosno da se harmoniziraju hrvatsko-bošnjački politički odnosi.

Također, govorio je o nerealnim očekivanjima da će neka zemlja odjednom doći i ukinuti odredbe Daytonskog sporazuma, kako se to često priželjkuje iz Sarajeva.

Govoreći o narativu koji se o BiH kreira u međunarodnim krugovima, naglasio je kako zapadni akademski krugovi često promatraju stvari u BiH jednodimenzionalno, odnosno kroz crno-bijele naočale. Često se sve svodi na to da se jedna strana percipira kao dobra a ostale kao loše. Pored toga, takva istraživanja se često i nagrađuju.

Dr. de Bruijn je govorio o odnosu europskih zemalja prema BiH, kazavši kako nitko ne pokušava promijeniti ustavnu strukturu Belgije i drugih zemalja te da je čudno da druge države pokušavaju mijenjati ustavnu strukturu BiH.

Naveo je kako gotovo niti jedna demokracija u svijetu nema izborno pravilo „jedan čovjek – jedan glas“. Nevjerojatno je, dodao je, da se takav princip zagovara u BiH.

dr. David de Bruijn, assistant professor at the Faculty of Philosophy of Auburn University, Alabama, in the United States of America, spoke on the Bura Podcast about his interest in political events in Bosnia and Herzegovina and presented his vision of solutions to fundamental problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He said that Bosnia and Herzegovina has great potential for development and that he is optimistic about the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Countries can have enormous problems, he explained, they can have governments that do not allow people to develop and the like, but he does not see any of that in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the contrary, he sees BiH as a country that actually has a great perspective.

However, he stated that the three nations in BiH are fighting for internal influence and that this is an unfortunate circumstance for BiH. It is ironic and unfortunate, he added, that the USA predicted in Dayton that the Croats and Bosniaks in the FBiH should be a counterweight to potentially separatist policies from the RS.

It is unfortunate that the politicians from Sarajevo concentrated on the Croats in FBiH and how to control this people. He is of the opinion that it is crucial for the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina to achieve what was foreseen in the Washington Agreement, i.e. to harmonize Croat-Bosniak political relations.

He also spoke about the unrealistic expectations that some country will suddenly come and abolish the provisions of the Dayton Agreement, as is often desired from Sarajevo.

Speaking about the narrative that is being created about BiH in international circles, he emphasized that Western academic circles often observe things in BiH one-dimensionally, that is, through black and white glasses. It often boils down to one side being perceived as good and the others as bad. In addition, such research is often rewarded.

dr. de Bruijn spoke about the attitude of European countries towards BiH, saying that no one is trying to change the constitutional structure of Belgium and other countries and that it is strange that other countries are trying to change the constitutional structure of BiH.

He stated that almost no democracy in the world has the "one man - one vote" electoral rule. It is incredible, he added, that such a principle is advocated in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
