SDP Main Board President Selim Beslagic sends letter to SDA and Ganic on corruption
SDP Main Board President Selim Beslagic sent the SDA and BiH Federation Vice-president Ejup Ganic an open letter presenting his view of Ganic’s engagement in the anti-corruption campaign. “Respected Mr. Ganic, when Vuk Draskovic organized a peaceful demonstration in Belgrade, that hypocrisy caused waves of bitter laughter in BiH. Your anti-corruption revolution, popularly known as ‘good morning Columbus’, turned out to serve your self promotion and internal party push and shove, rather than the state of BiH. Your private revolution came down on Tuzla Canton, leaving out hundreds of BiH Federation muddles, whose whirlpool undoubtedly swallows tens of millions of DM. The matter of centralization of funds and their undetectable distribution is a matter of auxiliary economic financing from the Electro-economic treasury. Avoiding payment into pension and social funds should interest you no less than the Tuzla Cantonal Government. The issue of Tuzla Canton having a few million DM, usurped at the expense of revealing the muddles in Promdei Bank, should inspire a true revolutionary, more than ‘Golf and infusion’ solutions. More important, and tragic, is the fact that your unprincipled revolution strikes at the foundations of state and democratic order. According to you, control over the municipality should not be in the hands of state institutions, even though it is a state, but in the hands of the SDA, which is a party, as if you advocate the party and not the democratic and legal state.”
