<\/p>\nCivil society organizations expressed their protest against the organization of the public welcome and celebration of the release of a convicted war criminal Dario Kordi\u0107, which took place in Busova\u010da on Jun 22nd 2014, after he served two thirds of his sentence for war crimes committed against civilians in the La\u0161va valley.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We, hereby strongly condemn the presence of Dragan Covi\u0107, Chairman of the House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina; Borjana Kristo, the Delegate of the the House of Peoples of BiH, Marinko \u010cavara, MP in the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the President of the HDZ caucus in the Parliament, as well as the presence of other officials of the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ BiH) at the rally held in Busova\u010da.<\/p>\n
We strongly believe that the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina do not deserve to be represented in their highest institutions by people who glorify war criminals, thus burdening them with collective responsibility for war crimes. Therefor we call upon Dragan \u010covi\u0107, Borjana Kri\u0161to and Marinko \u010cavar to resign from the position of the House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament, and to apologise people of Bosnia and Herzegovina for their actions. If this does not happen, we urge the Office of the High Representative to remove Dragan \u010covi\u0107, Borjana Kri\u0161to and Marinko \u010cavar from functions they perform and thus send a clear message that holders of public office who support convicted war criminals are not and can not be eligible to make decisions about the present and the future of this country and its citizens.<\/p>\n
We find particularly aggravating fact that this is a part of a deliberate campaign, and that the appearance at such gatherings is considered an action that can score political points in the pre-election campaign.<\/p>\n
The youngest victim of the massacre in Ahmi\u0107i was three months old, the oldest was eighty-two years old. For the murder of 116 civilians the court determined criminal responsibility of Dario Kordi\u0107. We consider such an attitude towards a convicted war criminal of the local community, religious officials, and representatives of the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina who attended the welcoming, indicates a failure of the process of facing the past, severe negation of suffering of civilian victims, and a confirmation of the continuation of the policy of the nineties among those political parties that, although formally participate in the pro-European initiatives, yet are unable to distance themselves from the ideology of war crimes.<\/p>\n
