No Croatian official would meet with current BiH Presidency member Željko Komšić, whose election violated the Dayton peace agreement because he did not really represent Croats in that body, said Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman.
Komšić was against the construction of the Pelješac Bridge, failed to visit any Croat community in BiH and was constantly making statements against Croats, Grlić Radman added.
“It is not moral of him to call himself a representative of the Croat people,” the Croatian minister told Herceg-Bosna Television in an interview in Mostar, broadcast on Sunday.
Bosnia’s three-man presidency has representatives of Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs, but the Croat official is elected in the Bosniak-Croat Federation.
The foreign minister recalled that the Dayton Peace Agreement’s authors did not agree that Croats should have their political representatives elected for them by other peoples.
“Croatia is interested in a stable and functional BiH in which all three peoples will be able to exercise their rights. If the Croats are the most endangered, Croatia will insist on correcting the injustice. That can be done by implementing Constitutional Court rulings and amending the election law,” he added.
