SDA President Bakir Izetbegović did not want to say today that there will be no war. He said that he could not say that because his previous experiences tell him otherwise, "Raport" writes.
However, the people, especially the Bosniaks, should not worry because he is ready to stand in front of them and lead them into battle because:
"I would rather die today than allow those who commited the genocide to rule part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Definitely. I am telling you this today during Ramadan. So, there is no question that they will do that. They can start, but they won't know how it will end. "
Izetbegović refers to the calls for a "peaceful breakup", which Milorad Dodik advocates for, and a few days ago he started the marketing campaign for this phrase.
Those who commited the genocide are probably the ones who, in addition to denying the genocide in Srebrenica, rule in RS and advocate "peaceful separation" on the basis of the so-called non paper which was published by media close to Bakir's SDA.
In RS, Milorad Dodik's SNSD rules.
But, then, it is not clear why Izetbegović's SDA is in a coalition with the ones who commited genocide?
Namely, the SDA has been in a coalition with the SNSD for years. Even when the coalition could have been avoided, the SDA refused, and even "pushed" Dodik's party by a majority in the state House of Peoples. As a reminder, SDA MPs in the NARS then voted for the SNSD candidates instead of the opposition.
And not only that.
After the political turmoil in Bijeljina, where the now deceased Mićo Mićić left the SDS and sided with Dodik's SNSD, the SDA came to Dodik's aid.
Namely, in order for Dodik to have a majority in this strategically important city, the SDA signed a coalition agreement, states "Report".
However, we had the opportunity to watch the biggest betrayal and political saltomortal, directed by Izetbegović's SDA, in Srebrenica a few days ago.
After calling for and succeeding in boycotting the local elections in that city, the SDA decided to support Mayor Mladen Grujičić, genocide denier, promoter of Chetniks and other forms of fascism, and formed a coalition together with SNSD, reports "Raport".

Denmark, which has one of Europe's most restrictive immigration policies, announced on Tuesday that it is tightening the conditions for naturalisation, notably excluding those who had been convicted of crimes.

The new rules follow a deal between the Social Democrat government and three right-wing opposition parties.
-Obtaining a Danish citizenship is a great declaration of faith from Danish society, according to the parties to the deal. They are therefore in agreement that it is necessary to raise the bar for who can become a Danish citizen- the migration ministry said in a statement.
Applicants for citizenship will now have to show a clean record -- meaning no convictions even if suspended -- and will need to show that they have been able to support themselves for at least three and half of the last four years.
The agreement presented by the government of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, also puts a strong emphasis on "Danish values," and citizenship tests, that have been used since 2015, will now include five questions on these values.
-We want to be absolutely sure that those who receive Danish citizenship, with all the rights that go with it, are well integrated into Danish society and have also embraced it - including Danish values- migration minister Mathias Tesfaye told public broadcaster DR.
Those "Danish values" were said to include freedom of speech and equality.
According to Statistics Denmark, 11 percent of Denmark's 5.8 million inhabitants are of foreign origin -- either born abroad or with parents born abroad-- and of those 58 percent are citizens of a country classified as "non-Western".
In 2020, of the approximately 7,000 people who became Danes, more than half were Europeans.

Turkish prosecutors on Tuesday demanded jail terms for 97 people who joined student protests against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's appointment of a party loyalist as the rector of a top university.

The indictment said the suspects defied a ban on rallies imposed as part of measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic, the Anadolu state news agency said.
Prosecutors are seeking jail terms from six months to three years because of the suspects' non-compliance with a law on "unarmed participation in unlawful rallies and refusal to disperse despite the warnings", Anadolu said.
No date was given for the first hearing. 
The protest movement -- the biggest to rattle Erdogan's rule in years -- kicked off when the Turkish leader appointed longstanding ruling party member Melih Bulu as rector of Bogazici University at the start of the year.
The rallies began inside the campus grounds before spreading to the streets of Istanbul and other big cities with the backing of government opponents and supporters of broader LGBT rights.
The indictment specifically refers to a February 1 protest in Istanbul in which several groups defied police warnings and rallied outside the university's locked gate.
Police roughly rounded up 108 people that day.
Ninety-seven of them were later released and a probe was launched against them by the prosecutor's office, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors are conducting separate inquiries against the 11 remaining people, one of whom is underage.
The student demonstrations had echoes of 2013 protests that sprang up against plans to demolish an Istanbul park before spreading nationally and posing the first big political dilemma for Erdogan.
He has compared student protesters to "terrorists" and the rector at the root of the demonstrations has refused to give in to demands to step down.

The Czech Republic is asking EU and NATO partners to expel Russian diplomats in solidarity following Prague's diplomatic spat with Moscow, Foreign and Interior Minister Jan Hamacek said Tuesday.

He said he would summon the Russian ambassador Wednesday to disclose further steps after the expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats believed by Prague to be secret agents, and of 20 Czechs from Moscow in retaliation.
-We are calling for collective action of EU and NATO countries aimed at solidarity expulsions- Hamacek told reporters.
The call comes after Prague accused Russian secret services of orchestrating a fatal explosion on Czech territory in 2014.
Eighteen Russian diplomats identified by Czech intelligence as spies left their posts on Monday, along with 20 Czech diplomats based in Moscow.
Hamacek said he had summoned Russian Ambassador Alexander Zmeyevsky for Wednesday afternoon to protest against what Prague views as a disproportionate response.
-It is only logical that if the Czech Republic takes further action, the Russian ambassador must be the first to hear it- he said.
Citing an intelligence report, the Czech government has said that Russia's military secret service GRU orchestrated two explosions in 2014, one of which killed two people and caused extensive material damage.
In connection with the blasts, Czech police are seeking two men also identified as suspects in the 2018 poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, England.
The Czech government also decided on Monday to rule Russia's atomic energy agency Rosatom out of a tender to build a new unit at a Czech nuclear plant.
Hamacek further said the Czech government would stop considering buying the Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine against Covid-19.

Johnson &amp; Johnson remains "very confident" in its Covid-19 vaccine and hopeful for a quick resolution from regulators over its status, a top executive said Tuesday.

-We remain very confident and very hopeful that the benefit-risk profile will play out- J&amp;J Chief Financial Officer Joseph Wolk told CNBC.
The comments came ahead of a decision expected later Tuesday from Europe's drug regulator on the safety of the single-shot innoculation. 
US pandemic advisor Anthony Fauci said the United States is likely to announce its decision by Friday.
Health authorities in the United States on April 14 recommended a pause on the vaccine following six instances of severe blood clots out of nearly seven million Americans who received the vaccine.
The company hopes "very shortly ... perhaps as early as the end of this week, to have some resolution with how we are going to proceed," Wolk said.
Asked if the US decision to suspend the program hindered public confidence in vaccines, Wolk said "I would hope that at the end of the week, the population in general will feel more confident in taking the vaccine."
The comments came as J&amp;J released first-quarter results.
An earnings press release did not elaborate on vaccine approval issues, but said the vaccine generated $100 million in revenues in the United States during the period. J&amp;J is selling the vaccine at cost.
J&amp;J has also encountered production problems at a Baltimore, Maryland factory managed by Emergent BioSolutions.
The Food and Drug Administration has suspended production in the plant pending a review of the facility.
Wolk said J&amp;J expects to be "in a position to meet our contract commitments, not just here in the US but across the globe" following the FDA review.

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Bosnia and Herzegovina Osamah Dakhel R. Al-Ahmadi handed over 3,000 food packages for socially endangered families, worth 195,000 KM, today at the King Fahd Cultural Center in Sarajevo. 

-Traditionally, the Kingdom sends Ramadan packages for socially endangered families all over the world. 3,000 packages of food products have been set aside for B&amp;H, which will be distributed to families through humanitarian organizations- said Ambassador al-Ahmadi.

Russia declared two Bulgarian diplomats 'persona non grata' on Tuesday and ordered them to leave the country in response to Sofia's expulsion of two Russian diplomats last month for suspected espionage.

The action followed Russia's decision to kick out diplomats from the United States, Czech Republic and Poland in a flurry of expulsions within the past five days in retaliation for the barring of its own staff, reflecting a sharp deterioration in its relations with the West.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Russia was not to blame for the spike in tensions, and said foreign countries should refrain from "mass anti-Russia psychosis".
Bulgaria threw out the Russian diplomats in March after prosecutors charged six people, including current and former military intelligence officers, with spying for Russia.&nbsp;Russia's foreign ministry identified two employees at the Bulgarian embassy in Moscow and said it had ordered them to leave Russian territory within 72 hours.
Bulgaria's foreign ministry confirmed that its diplomats were declared 'persona non grata' and that the action was a direct response to its expulsion of Russian diplomats in March.
-No other reasons for the actions of the Russian authorities were pointed out at today's meeting- it said in a statement.

India has allowed vaccination against COVID-19 to everyone above the age of 18 from May 1, an official release said Monday. 

The announcement by the government comes as the country’s coronavirus situation continues to worsen, with over 273,000 daily cases registered Monday. The rising cases have resulted in shortages of beds, medical oxygen supplies, and treatment drugs like remdesivir in various parts of the country.
-In a meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi, an important decision of allowing vaccination to everyone above the age of 18 from 1st May has been taken- the Health Ministry said in a statement.
Previously, only people aged above 45 years were eligible for vaccination in the country.
The ministry said in the “Liberalized and Accelerated Phase 3 Strategy of the National COVID-19" vaccine, manufacturers are now empowered to "release up to 50% of their supply to state governments and in the open market at a pre-declared price."
-Vaccination shall continue as before in Govt. of India vaccination centers, provided free of cost to the eligible population as defined earlier, i.e. Health Care Workers (HCWs), Front Line Workers (FLWs) and all people above 45 years of age- the statement said.
The country launched the first phase of its vaccination drive on Jan. 16 this year, allowing vaccination for health care workers and front-line workers. In Phase 2, the government allowed vaccination for all people above 45 years of age.
According to official figures, over 120 million vaccine doses have been administered so far.
When the government announced its vaccination drive in January this year, it had given approval to two vaccines: Covishield and Covaxin. While the Covishield vaccine is locally manufactured by the Pune-based Serum Institute of India and is developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca, Covaxin is the country's indigenous vaccine.
The Indian government this month also approved Russia's Sputnik V vaccine for emergency use authorization.
Even as the government vaccination drive is underway, several states have complained of vaccine shortages.
As of Monday morning, the country’s case tally was over 15 million, while the death toll was 178,769. Several cities have announced weekend lockdowns, while the capital New Delhi on Monday announced a weeklong lockdown to curb the spread of the virus.

At least five women in Sweden have been murdered by men in recent weeks, the country's prime minister said on social media on Monday.

-The men who expose women to these heinous crimes should be punished, but men's violence against women should not be reduced to individual cases. It is a societal problem that must be fought with the collective power of society as a whole- Stefan Lofven said on Facebook.
In 2020, nearly 9,000 women filed reports of violence by men with whom they had a close relationship, said Lofven.
In a powerful post, he underlined that for men's violence against women to end, it is men who must change.
-Especially we, men, have to mark and say no. We need to talk to men about what true masculinity is, that it is not beating or harassing. Never accept that someone uses violence or threats of violence to gain power over their loved ones. Never look away. Never apologize. Sound the alarm- he added.
Lovfen added that the government will do everything it could to stop violence against women.
Annie Loof, the leader of the Center Party, also took to Facebook to condemn violence against women.
-Where is the roar from society? From my political colleagues? Where are the commissions, the tough ones? The common signal? I am ready to sit down at the party leadership level to take action against men's violence against women at any time- she added.

The European Commission and Austria are announcing today the conclusion of agreements for the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines for the Western Balkans, announced the European Commission. 

The 651,000 BioNTech/Pfizer doses are funded by the European Commission and will be shared with the facilitation of Austria. The first delivery to all the partners in the region is due in May, with regular tranches to continue until August.
President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that it is crucial to speed up the vaccination campaigns everywhere.
-I am happy to announce that we have secured doses to help vaccinate health care workers and other vulnerable groups in the Western Balkans. The European Union stands by our partners in the region, who have been looking to us for support. I want to thank Austria for facilitating this transfer, showing its firm commitment and solidarity with the Western Balkans- said von der Leyen.
Enlargement and Neighbourhood Commissioner, Olivér Várhelyi, added that despite the current global shortage, the EU will deliver life-saving vaccines for the Western Balkans.
-We have provided support from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic: First, with emergency medical equipment like masks, ventilators, intensive care units and ambulance vehicles; second, by strengthening the resilience. Now, we will help ensure the vaccination of all frontline medical workers across the region, as well as some of the other vulnerable groups. We care about the Western Balkans whose future is in the European Union- stated Varhelyi.
Austrian Foreign Minister, Alexander Schallenberg, stressed that it is a top priority to make COVID-19 vaccines rapidly and comprehensively available to people across Europe. Against this backdrop, supporting the Western Balkans to obtain vaccines is an act of European solidarity and an investment in the health and security of the whole region. After all, blank spots on the vaccination map, wherever they may be, pose a danger to all of us.
-No one is safe until everyone is safe- he said. 
Austria has facilitated the sharing of these vaccines through legal arrangements with the producer and the Western Balkan partners. The doses are funded from the €70 million package adopted by the Commission in December 2020 to help cover the cost of vaccines, secured under the EU's advance purchase agreements for the Western Balkan partners. The overall distribution between countries will be based on the epidemiological needs, prioritising in first instance medical workers and other vulnerable groups.

Turkey aims to vaccinate all tourism professionals before the end of May, the country's deputy minister of culture and tourism said on Tuesday.

Speaking at the International Tourism Forum organized virtually by the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB), Nadir Alparslan said Turkey aims to complete the COVID-19 vaccination for tourism professionals before the start of the summer season.
At the beginning of April, the country launched a vaccination campaign for professionals serving in the tourism sector, such as hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, airlines, and buses.
-In order to minimize the negative impact of the virus on tourism, the government carries out a number of works with sector shareholders such as [the launch of the] Safe Tourism Certification program- Alparslan said.
The Safe Tourism Certification, launched in collaboration with Turkey’s Foreign, Culture and Tourism, and Transportation Ministries, covers a broad range of safety measures.
The certificate, issued by international certification institutions, validates the execution of strict health and hygiene requirements at airlines, airports, and other transport facilities, as well as in accommodation outlets and food and beverage venues.

Minister Selmo Cikotić will inform officials about the situation in the temporary reception center where migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees are currently sheltered and progress towards the establishment of the official Temporary Reception Centre Lipa, which is designed to accommodate 1,500 people, including families with children, unaccompanied children, and single men.
While 4,500 migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees are accommodated in the official temporary reception centres in Bosnia and Herzegovina, efforts are under-way to improve accommodation standards and capacities across the whole country. 
The Government of Austria, through the International Organization for Migration – IOM, provides financial support to the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the overall migration management, including support for additional reception facilities in Lipa and to help Bosnia and Herzegovina strengthen its migration management capacities.
The funds provided from Austria, are primarily directed to the establishment of an official temporary reception centre Lipa.

The Vice President of the Alliance for a Better Future of B&amp;H, Admir Čavka, said that the latest events in Srebrenica showed the true situation of returnees in smaller B&amp;H entity, ie the policies that govern the processes conducted in Srebrenica.
- Unfortunately, many times so far we have witnessed that many of us are even declaratively in favor of the unity of the returnee corps when it comes to the election campaign. But, immediately after the election, it is clear that only individuals decide on the spoils, that is, on the positions that should be snatched - said Čavka.
According to him, this is exactly what happened in Srebrenica, the place of genocide, the greatest suffering of Bosniaks. Čavka reminds that SBB B&amp;H has participated in all meetings since the founding of the "My Address Srebrenica" initiative and gave full support to the candidate for mayor Alija Tabaković, but also to the coalition in which SBB B&amp;H also participated.
- As the vice president of SBB B&amp;H, I was at most of these meetings, and the representatives of the coalition met on several occasions with the president of SBB B&amp;H, Fahrudin Radončić. We unconditionally supported the boycott of the elections in Srebrenica and provided support to correct the injustice committed by election theft - said Čavka.

At the meeting in Srebrenica, which was attended by the leaders of political parties, it was concluded that the mandates will not be accepted and that in no case will there be cooperation with the deniers of genocide. After that, a meeting of the presidents of the political parties was held with the reis-l-ulema Husein Kavazović. On that occasion, a statement was signed that in the future all pro-Bosnian forces will operate together in the area of smaller Bosnia and Herzegovina entity.
- However, we learned from the media that a coalition was signed in Srebrenica between SNSD, SDA, DF and SB&amp;H without the consent and knowledge of SBB B&amp;H and PDA, which are part of the initiative "My address Srebrinica". By signing this coalition with the genocide deniers, everything that was agreed in the previous period was violated - Čavka pointed out.
In the local elections in Srebrenica, the coalition "My Address Srebrenica" appeared as a separate political entity, and the mandates were separated in the name of the coalition itself, and not in the name of separate political entities. According to Čavka, the representatives of the coalition had to inform all members of the coalition about the steps taken.
- With this act, the coalition "My Address Srebrenica" was extinguished, and it obviously served only for pre-election purposes - to reach certain positions. We can see that from the agreement between SNSD, SDA, DF and SB&amp;H. Functions and seats are divided, and the agreement itself does not mention the denial of genocide and other strategic issues – it was pointed out by Čavka.

SBB B&amp;H, adds Čavka, is not a signatory of the mentioned coalition, but this party, as every time so far, will support everything that is good for returnees. The Alliance for a Better Future of B&amp;H will insist on institutional assistance to returnees. This is the only way to ensure the survival of returnees on their doorsteps.
- Returnees who live at home every day, whose children go to school and are discriminated every day, must turn to themselves. We have too many enemies to be our own enemies. Therefore, it is more than necessary for us to unite and solve the accumulated problems together. We must not be on a bus rushing towards the accident. And while the bus is going to a certain doom, we are arguing over who will sit where - said Čavka.
