Calling Bosniaks who do not belong to the Bosniak Party as shy and having found the strength to go public only after the results of the census is extremely inappropriate from “authentic” representatives of the Bosniak people, said the vice president of the Bosniak Party Bosniak Council and the founder of the Bosniak Democratic Movement, Bejto Šahmanović.

“Dear Bosniaks, first of all I would like to thank our people and then the institutions of the system for the successfully conducted census, which took place under correct conditions. As Vice President of the Bosniak Council and as someone who has worked dedicatedly. With few other people actively campaigning in the last months of 2023, I am proud that the number of Bosniaks is higher compared to the previous census. I am also pleased about the number of members of the Bosniak people who speak their language with the correct name “Bosnians”. and the explicit reactions of the Bosniak Party and its officials who boast of being responsible for the increase in the number of Bosniaks in this census,” Šahmanović said.

He says that equating national identity and subjective feelings with the “crazy politics of the Bosniak party is, to say the least, inappropriate.”

“Your position on the census was announced a long time ago, which can be easily checked with one click in the search engine. The activity of the Bosniak Party during the census is best illustrated by the number of its public statements, which is while many other Bosniak organizations, institutions and individuals invited active participation and declaration in the census, we did not hear a word from the Bosniak Party , which I personally invited, and emphasized through the media the importance of inclusion They won the highest positions of the Bosniak people in the census, but unfortunately they were not there according to the principle “After the battle everyone is a general” and hoped to score political points in this way, because they saw that they were “They were losing at every turn – including in the last elections in Podgorica, when they lost over 50% of the vote compared to the last parliamentary elections”, he writes. Šahmanovic.

He says that most Bosniaks are Bosniaks by birth, not by party affiliation.

“The minutes of the meeting of the Bosniak Council in Montenegro on October 22, 2023, when it hid behind the Bosniak Council and the Islamic community, is not proof that the leadership of the Bosniak party wants to adorn itself with foreign feathers.” The Making a single statement during this period clearly shows how interested Bosniak party officials actually are in national politics, as most of them do not appear at work meetings at all (except for the ceremonies at which they are active). from the state, housing, a percentage of various projects and a coalition with the Chetnik Duke, then we do not agree on the understanding of the word “emancipation”. inappropriate from the “authentic” representatives of the Bosniak people. The majority of Bosniaks are native Bosniaks, not by party affiliation, as you, gentlemen from the Bosniak Party, would think, if the people had been guided by your “emancipatory” logic. In politics they would certainly have expressed themselves differently,” that is it in the message.
