Željka Tomić, the acting prosecutor of the Sarajevo prosecutor's office who is conducting an investigation against Abdulah Hajdarević, suspected of endangering the safety of Senad Hadžifejzović, editor and owner of Face TV, filed a complaint this morning due to the suspect's release, the "Avaz" portal has learned.
The prosecutor appealed against the decision of the Municipal Court in Sarajevo, which imposed on Hajdarević measures banning him from approaching Hadžifejzović, thenewsroom, as well as the measure of mandatory reporting to the competent Police Administration, once a week.
We remind you that Hajdarević tried to break into the television premises with the intention of attacking Hadžifejzović, but the security prevented him and called the police, who arrested him.

Representatives of the international community in Bosnia and Herzegovina pointed out at today's session of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Amendments to the Electoral Legislation the need for substantial changes in order to strengthen democracy because elections are the basis of any democratic society.

Head of the Delegation of the European Union to BiH and the EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ambassador Johann Sattler called on the members of the Group to work on amending the electoral legislation in terms of enabling the implementation of Constitutional Court and European Court of Human Rights judgments, OSCE, ODIHR and the Venice Commission recommendations.

<h2> In accordance with EU standards</h2>

This is important to do in order to restore the trust of citizens in the election process, as well as to ensure that it is in line with European standards because numerous, major shortcomings of that process have been noticed.

"Counting each vote without manipulation is the obligation of all those responsible. There is no reason not to make changes to the electoral legislation, which were pointed out by election observers several times," he underlined.
He noted that filling the polling committees is one of the problems that needs to be addressed. There are technological solutions that would ensure greater transparency, as well as training of people involved in the election process, and all these are changes that should ensure the efficiency of the electoral system.
The members of the Interdepartmental Working Group were also addressed by the Ambassador of the United States of America to Bosnia and Herzegovina Eric Nelson, who noted that not everything is expected to be resolved at once, but it is necessary to focus on changes that have a chance to be implemented.
Given the limited time this year when changes to the electoral legislation should be made, Nelson reminded that everything proposed by the Interdepartmental Working Group will be the subject of discussions in the BiH Parliament.
"It is important to make sure that attempts made to make reforms that would reverse the election process and make it less transparent are stopped," he underlined.

Addressing the members of the Group, Head of the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kathleen Kavalec, announced that she would continue to provide professional, technical and logistical assistance in the demanding process and in the work of the Group at all stages.

She said that the OSCE Mission had previously worked with representatives of the Central Election Commission (CEC), who are not part of this Interdepartmental Working Group, on amendments to bylaws, which is the responsibility of the CEC.
She, therefore, asked for them to be included, adding that the CEC must participate in the work of the Interdepartmental Working Group because it is an institution that will implement all reforms that are adopted, and their knowledge would be useful for better solutions.

Counting each vote without manipulation is the obligation of all those responsible, Sattler underlined

Nelson: Amendments to the Election Law should not be postponed, those who commit election fraud should be prosecuted

127 new members joined the Alliance for a Better Future of B&amp;H in Mostar. On that occasion, a ceremony was held last night in the town on the Neretva river, which was also attended by the president of SBB, Fahrudin Radončić.
After handing out membership cards, President Radončić addressed the new members, most of whom are young people.
He said, among other things, that SBB, as a party of the center, with its original principles, which put the economy and the fight against poverty at the top of priorities, is necessary for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosniak people.
SBB Commissioner for HNK Lejla Lizde and SBB City Board President Alma Pašić stated in their address that the Alliance in Herzegovina is getting stronger every day and that this trend will certainly continue.
After the ceremonial part of the program, the president of SBB took a walk through Mostar and in a very pleasant atmosphere socialized with the citizens and new members of SBB.
Due to compliance with all epidemiological measures, the hand out of membership cards and the meeting were held in separate rooms, the SBB said.

Austrian Integration Minister Susanne Raab Tuesday defended a contentious “Islam map" amid mounting criticism within the country’s Muslim community.

-This is by no means a general suspicion of Muslims. It's about the common struggle against political Islam as a breeding ground for extremism- Raab told the German WELT newspaper.
Raab launched an Internet website called the "National Map of Islam" last week with the names and locations of more than 620 mosques, associations and officials.
Many Muslims feel stigmatized and their security threatened by the publication of addresses and other details amid growing Islamophobia in Austria, especially in the wake of a deadly Islamist terror attack in Vienna last November.
Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IGGOE), which represents the interests of roughly 800,000 Muslims in Austria, warned against stigmatizing all Muslims living in that country "as a potential danger to society and the democratic legal order in the country."
This campaign is fueling racism and "exposes Muslim citizens to a massive security risk," IGGOE added.
The Muslim Youth of Austria (MJOE) announced over the weekend that they would file a lawsuit against the map.
Reacting to Raab’s statements, the Vienna-based newspaper DER STANDARD warned in an op-ed piece that this map would “not only fuel Islamophobic attitudes” but could “even facilitate Islamophobic acts of violence.”
Meanwhile, the Council of Europe on Monday called upon Austria to withdraw the map.
Publication of the map is hostile to Muslims and potentially counterproductive, Europe’s leading human rights organization said in a statement.
It added the map served “existing resentments” and many Muslims feel it as “extremely discriminatory.”
The statement reiterated Muslims “feel stigmatized and threatened in their security by the publication of addresses and other details.”
The Austrian integration minister also rejected criticism that the map would put representatives of Islam at risk.
-If you now say that you are founding an Islamic association, but you don't want anyone to know, let alone what you are doing and who you are, then that shows exactly the problem: namely, that you prefer to preach in private back rooms.-The map is also in the interests of Muslims who do not want to have anything to do with extremist currents, Raab said.
-You should also know which mosque you are going to and what structures and ideologies are behind it- she added.
Austrian Muslims are deeply concerned over ongoing attempts by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz to instrumentalize political Islam for his far-right agenda.

The United States Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Eric Nelson talked today with the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and leader of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) Milorad Dodik about the appointment of Christian Schmidt as the new High Representative in B&amp;H.

Nelson emphasized the US support for the new High Representative in B&amp;H and the vital role of the OHR in implementing the Dayton Peace Agreement.
-We encourage political leaders to focus on the reforms needed to advance B&amp;H's European path and improve the economy so that B&amp;H depends as little as possible on international supervision. The rhetoric of division only slows down the progress that will benefit all citizens of B&amp;H- it was stated on the Twitter account of the US Embassy in B&amp;H.
Schmidt was appointed High Representative in B&amp;H last week, while he is due to take office on August 1. Valentin Inzko, who has held the post so far, has resigned.
As the eighth High Representative of the international community in B&amp;H, Schmidt announced that the basis of his activities in B&amp;H will be to work in agreement with representatives of the international community, elected officials, B&amp;H citizens and young people.
Immediately after Schmidt's appointment, Dodik said that "Republic of Srpska does not accept the appointment of a German diplomat as High Representative in B&amp;H, nor any of his competencies," assessing that "it is a non-procedural appointment."
Political representatives from the entity of Republic of Srpska should meet with the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, tomorrow with the aim to discuss this appointment.

The rhetoric of division only slows down the progress that will benefit all citizens of B&H, Nelson emphasized

In the early morning hours, the Service for Foreigners Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina undertook activities aimed at controlling the movement and stay of migrants in the area of the city of Bihać at four locations, where migrants gathered and stayed in an improvised accommodation.

Inspectors of the Service for Foreigners' Affairs found 62 migrants at those locations, mostly citizens of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and they were relocated, accommodated and taken care of in the temporary reception center Lipa.
Currently, the activities of medical examination, identification and registration of the migrants are being carried out, as well as accommodation in the preventive isolation part of the temporary reception center Lipa.
The activities were carried out in cooperation with the police officers of the Ministry of the Interior of the USC, and with the support of the medical team of the humanitarian organization SOS Bihać, stated the Service for Foreigners Affairs of B&amp;H.&nbsp;

A few days ago, SDA President Bakir Izetbegović stated that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most successful in the region in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
- Yes, there were mistakes and there were omissions, but the truth that the numbers show and prove is different from what perception is. It may seem small and unbelievable to people, but B&amp;H is probably the most successful in the region and slightly better than the EU average in almost all aspects, along with these two problems of ventilators procurement and slow vaccine procurement, when it comes to slowing the spread of the infection and the economic aspect, the answer to economic problems - said Izetbegović.

How true this statement of Izetbegović is, we will show on the basis of official statistical data. According to the American Johns Hopkins University, B&amp;H is the third in the world in terms of the number of deaths. Namely, our country has 277.73 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, and the Czech Republic and Hungary have a higher incidence, which are in second and first place in this parameter.
According to the university, B&amp;H has 203,839 confirmed cases since the beginning of the pandemic, and more than 9,200 people have died, which is 4.52 percent of the total number of patients. No country in Europe, not even the Czech Republic or Hungary, has a higher percentage of deaths.
Serbia has the best result in the region - 0.96 percent, followed by Montenegro with 1.59 percent, Slovenia (1.72), Albania (1.85), Kosovo (2.10), Croatia (2.25) and Northern Macedonia (3.48). If we single out the region of the Western Balkans - it is not difficult to conclude that B&amp;H is by far the worst country by all statistical parameters.
When it comes to vaccination, at the back of Europe and the region, together with Kosovo, you guessed it, Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the data of the page "Our World in Data", as of May 25th, 5.76 percent of citizens in B&amp;H have been vaccinated.
The European average is currently 31.24 percent vaccinated, which means that our country is as much as 6 times worse than the European average. When it comes to the region, Serbia has already greatly exceeded the European average and now has about 37 percent of those vaccinated, 30.95 percent of citizens in Croatia, 20.98 percent in Montenegro, about 17 percent in Albania and 11 percent in Northern Macedonia. Compared to B&amp;H, according to the number of vaccinated, only Kosovo is worse, where this page records the number of 3 percent vaccinated.

Mathematician and Nobel laureate John Nash is famous for his saying "I believe in numbers". Although Bakir Izetbegović is trying to convince us that we should trust him, and not to trust our own eyes, claiming that the government is coping well with the corona crisis, the numbers in this case are inexorable – B&amp;H is at the very bottom of Europe in terms of mortality and vaccination.
Fortunately, the number of deaths has decreased significantly in recent days, thanks to the end of the pandemic. However, mass vaccination is needed to safely avoid the fourth wave, and the government still fails to procure vaccines, although Izetbegović's Prime Minister Fadil Novalić announced back in March that the vaccines would arrive "on Monday". Another SDA cadre, former Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of B&amp;H Muhamed Čengić, shortly after the first democratic elections in 1990, made the famous statement "as of Monday, the rule of law".
Let's just hope that in terms of vaccines with the SDA, in the end we will not have the same scenario as with the rule of law that they announced in 1990.

It should be emphasized that the authorities in B&amp;H, more precisely the SDA, which has been in power for the past 30 years, have not yet managed to provide even the approximately required number of vaccines. A total of about 600,000 vaccines entered the country, which is not nearly enough for mass immunization of the population. Most of what we received came as alms and donations from friendly countries.
Moreover, Bakir's Federal Prime Minister Fadil Novalić is the only prime minister in the region who has failed to buy a single dose of the vaccine in a direct negotiation process. At the same time, due to "problems" with ventilators, as minimized by Izetbegović, Novalić is on the dock before the Court of B&amp;H as the first accused in the "Ventilators" affair.

<h2>Novalić is still preparing contracts, and the vaccines are nowhere to be found</h2>

The Prime Minister of the Federation, Fadil Novalić, is still preparing procurement contracts, and the vaccines are nowhere to be found. Yesterday, he received the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to B&amp;H, Yi Ping, with whom he discussed the procurement of vaccines. Novalić said that, when it comes to the direct procurement of vaccines, market analyzes and tests showed that Chinese companies complied with all deadlines and agreements. The FB&amp;H has directly negotiated the procurement of 500,000 doses of "Sinopharm" vaccine, all the requirements of the Chinese side have been met and this contract is currently being signed.

At yesterday's session of the Crisis Staff of Serbia, a new decision was made on the monetary rewarding of citizens who are vaccinated. It is practically an extension of the original deadline that expired last night, May 31st. The Crisis Staff has now decided that a compensation of 3,000 dinars will be available to all those over the age of 16 who applied for vaccination yesterday and who get vaccinated within seven days.

Let's just hope that in terms of vaccines with the SDA, in the end we will not have the same scenario as with the rule of law that they announced in 1990.

Bakir, where are the vaccines?

To prove that the academic education of Sebija Izetbegović, professor and director of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS), is flawless, regime media and „raspberry journalists“ published her "Zagreb" student booklet a few days ago from an alleged postgraduate study in the Croatian capital.

The faster - the better, the internet portals that have a total of 12 visits during the day, declared as liars all those who dared to problematize Izetbegović's academic education and point out illogicalities.
But in a hurry, the services, the intelligence, the bots, the SDA, Sebija and the media she controls, didn't notice two things. One is the date on the student booklet from the postgraduate study, which refers to the year when she graduated from the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo, and the other, when and how she passed the first exam in Zagreb.
But, let's start from the beginning, because everything around Sebija is full of ambiguities and confusing data.
Sebija Izetbegović, who studied for 11 years, wrote in her official biography that she graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo in 1989. However, the Almanac of the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo states that she graduated in 1984, and thhe student booklet published by the media close to the SDA lists year 1988 as the year she graduated.

On the other hand, it is illogical how and when Sebija Izetbegović passed the first exam at the "postgraduate" study in Zagreb in 1993.
In her application in August 1994, she wrote the following to the Council for Scientific Research and Postgraduate Studies in Sarajevo:
"I enrolled in postgraduate studies on March 2nd, 1993 at the University of Zagreb - Faculty of Medicine. Complete classes - lectures, exercises and consultations, as well as exams were conducted in English. Unfortunately, due to political circumstances I had to leave Zagreb without passing four out of a total of 14 exams, please allow me to take the remaining exams and write my master's thesis. "
However, the published „Zagreb“ student booklet reveals that Sebija Izetbegović, as she stated, enrolled in postgraduate studies on March 2nd, 1993, and already on March 19nd, more precisely in 17 days, passed the first exam.
The real question is when and how Sebija Izetbegović attended classes in the semester, because then the classes lasted for two years. In addition, each semester had a number of hours of practical work that had to be done in order to take the exam.

The student booklet reveals that two months later, Sebija passed two more exams, more precisely on May 6th and 28th.
We remind you of the statement of Professor Sanja Kupešić, who worked at the "Sveti Duh" Clinic from 1987 to 2006 and who explained who and when could take the exam.
- Every registered postgraduate student in "Ultrasound in Gynecology and Obstetrics" in Croatian or "Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology" in English, who successfully completed the curriculum (regularly attended classes and practical work, more than 80 percent), gained the right to take the exam, during which she/he received a record with a list of questions and grade, which was entered into the student booklet with the date and signature of the examiner - explained prof. Kupešić.
However, she told "Avaz" that she does not remember that Dr. Izetbegović "was a registered student of formal ultrasound postgraduate classes in Zagreb" nor that she took exams at her class.
In addition to all that, Sebija stated that she passed 10 exams, which, for now, it is not known how and on the basis of which certificates, was recognized by the Council for Scientific Research and Postgraduate Studies in Sarajevo.

She enrolled in postgraduate studies on March 2nd, 1993, and passed her first exam on March 19th. When and how did she attend classes in the semester

Who is lying to whom: How did Sebija Izetbegović pass the first exam in 17 days

The first instance disciplinary commission of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) has scheduled the beginning of disciplinary proceedings against Ranko Debevec, the president of the Court of B&amp;H, for June 7th, the "Avaz" portal has learned.
The Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor (UDT) filed a lawsuit against Debevac on April 2nd this year, and a preparatory hearing is scheduled for Monday.

As it was announced at that time from the Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor, the lawsuit against Debevec refers to inappropriate contact with the person against whom the proceedings are being conducted before the court he manages.
This is Osman Mehmedagić, the director of ISA, as evidenced by the published photos in the media.
The second count charges Debevec with making comments of inappropriate content through communication with the prosecutor who is acting in the case in which the defendant is a participant in the proceedings.
The report was filed by prosecutor Vedrana Mijović, who charged and formed a case against Debevec.
The report alleges that Debevec put pressure on her by sending her text messages in an attempt to stop or redirect the flow of prosecutorial checks on allegations in the criminal charges against him.
- From the above messages sent to me, a clear and unambiguous conclusion can be drawn that, using his influence, the President of the Court of B&amp;H fojund out that I, as the acting prosecutor, sent requests to the HJPC and SC MUP for official data ie the information they have about him - Mijović stated in the report to the HJPC Office.
According to the third point of the lawsuit, Debevec is charged with intentionally providing insufficient information to the HJPC on property abroad, through personal financial reports submitted to the Council.
Specifically, Debevec is accused of not declaring property in Spain, but also of intentionally providing false, misleading or insufficient information regarding job applications and promotion issues or any other matters within the competence of the Council.

He was reported to the Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor that he hid this information when applying for the position of prosecutor, and later judge, as well as in the application for the head of the Court of B&amp;H.

After all, Debevec used the dual citizenship of Spain, and it is disputable that B&amp;H has not signed an agreement on dual citizenship with the Kingdom of Spain. This means that Debevec could not even have dual citizenship of B&amp;H and Spain.

A prominent Kremlin critic faced a criminal probe in Russia Tuesday after being pulled off a Warsaw-bound flight as police searched the homes of several government opponents.

Kremlin critics have accused authorities of launching a campaign of arrests and intimidation against opponents of President Vladimir Putin ahead of parliamentary elections in September.
Political activist Andrei Pivovarov was pulled off a Warsaw-bound plane in Saint Petersburg late on Monday.
Pivovarov, the former executive director of the recently disbanded Open Russia group, said the plane was preparing for take-off when he was removed by police.
Police searched his Saint Petersburg apartment overnight and a criminal probe was launched against the 39-year-old activist for cooperating with an "undesirable organisation," Pivovarov's team said on Facebook.
His lawyer Sergei Badamshin confirmed the launch of the case to AFP but declined to provide any details. Pivovarov faces up to six years in prison if convicted.
Open Russia, founded by self-exiled Putin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky, announced last week it was shutting down to shield its members from prosecution.
It was designated an "undesirable" organisation in Russia in 2017 in line with a law targeting foreign-funded groups accused of political meddling.
Police also conducted searches Monday morning at the country house outside Moscow of former opposition lawmaker Dmitry Gudkov and the homes of his allies, he said.
-I don't know what the formal reason (for the searches) is. The real one is clear- he said on messaging app Telegram. 
Dmitry's father Gennady Gudkov, who is also a former lawmaker and lives outside Russia, said police searched the homes of several other relatives.
-A beautiful morning in Putin's Russia- Gennady Gudkov tweeted. 
Putin's leading domestic opponent, Alexei Navalny, was sentenced earlier this year to two-and-a-half years in a penal colony on old fraud charges that he says are politically motivated, and authorities are gearing up to outlaw his political network.

After the brutal attacks on the owner, editor, and journalist of Face TV Senad Hadžifejzović, we requested a comment from the Delegation of the European Union to B&amp;H.
-The EUD/EUSR strongly condemns all threats and attacks against journalists and media freedom- they stated.

They added that journalists in B&amp;H must be able to perform their work in full safety.
-Attacks on media are violations of journalists’ rights, as their safety is a precondition for free speech and free media.We recall that one of the 14 key priorities outlined in the Commission Opinion on B&amp;H’s EU membership application is to guarantee freedom of expression and of the media and the protection of journalists, including by ensuring the appropriate judicial follow-up to cases of threats and violence against journalists and media workers- they concluded.

<h2>Drawing targets on the foreheads</h2>

Recall, the attempt to break into the editorial office of Face TV happened in the midst of frantic attacks, insults and drawing targets on the foreheads of "unsuitable" journalists in the country.

A mass grave was discovered today during an exhumation procedure at the Dobro Polje site in the municipality of Kalinovik.

Up until now, the remains of at least three war victims have been spotted in the mass grave, and another number of victims are expected to be found at the site.
According to the information available to the Institute for Missing Persons of B&amp;H, it is presumed that the remains belong to Bosniak victims. 
The exhumation, led by the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H and in which, in addition to investigators from the Institute for Missing Persons of B&amp;H and SIPA officers, will continue in the coming days, given that most of the terrain must be searched at this location.

Jasmina Sazdovski, pre-trial judge of the Sarajevo Municipal Court, ordered prohibitive measures against Abdulah Hajdarević, who is suspected of endangering the safety of the editor and owner of Face TV, Senad Hadžifejzović, the "Avaz" portal has learned. This means that Hajdarević was released to defend himself with a ban on approaching Senad Hadžifejzović, Face TV premises and mandatory reporting to the competent police station once a week.
According to the motion for detention, which was presented to the court today by prosecutor Željka Tomić, he tried to break into the editorial office during the „Centralni dnevnik“ show by making serious threats to Hadžifejzović's life.
He was thwarted in his intent by security that called the police. Earlier, Hajdarević also threatened journalists and editors of this television on Facebook.
Hadžifejzović was initially present in the courtroom, but had to leave because he is going to be a witness in the proceedings.
While the distinguished journalist was sitting in the audience, Hajdarević looked at him, waved and showed him thumb up. The policeman reacted sharply and warned him of his behavior.
At the suspect's waving, Hadžifejzović remained as frosty as he is in show "Face to Face".
Prosecutor Željka Tomić presented a motion to order custody, and Hajdarević said he would not find Senad even if someone paid him.
Another investigation is underway against Hajdarević for threatening a journalist.

Hajdarević, man who threatened Senad Hadžifejzović, was released

A group of citizens and colleagues from the media gathered in front of the headquarters of Face TV on Saturday in support of the owner and director Senad Hadžifejzović and journalists, due to the fact that hooligan tried to break into the premises of this television.

Let's recall, the attempted incursion occurred in the midst of frantic attacks, insults and drawing targets by the Sda bots against all "unsuitable" journalists in the country. However, thanks to the influence he has on the consistent disclosure of the crimes and illegality of the Izetbegović couple and their closest associates, the most frequent target of these parastructures is Hadžifejzović.
Although many citizens, journalists and public figures sent a strong message on Saturday that no one should stifle freedom of speech, there is enough reason to fear that the attacks will become even more brutal.
Just after his party's heavy defeat in the 2020 local elections, Izetbegović announced the intensification of bot campaigns.
- This team is energetic, they know how to use modern means well, that is, social networks, we lost againts them due to that. We will race for the next two years - he said.

Shortly after these words, bot pages and profiles, which on the one hand glorify the Izetbegović family and other protagonists of the regime, such as Fadil Novalić and Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, 
and on the other hand, they place the most heinous lies, montages and draw targets on the foreheads of anyone who opposes or exposes the crimes of the mentioned, began to sprout like mushrooms.
There are some common features of all autocratic regimes. When they feel powerful and invincible enough, they are able to tolerate attacks and blows to themselves to a greater extent, believing that they cannot shake them excessively.
But when they begin to lose power and stop feeling safe in their positions, in fear and panic they start attacking and hitting those they see as the main cause of their downfall, hoping to silence and eliminate their opponents and retain power.
It is similar with the regime of Bakir Izetbegović. Faced with a series of political defeats, Izetbegović decided to take the path of political despair and, unable to deal with his own political bankruptcy, directed the entire regime's artillery at individuals who expose the failures, crime and poverty of his regime - journalists, intellectuals and some opposition politicians.

There is no doubt that the Izetbegović dynasty and the current SDA structures managed to unite more or less everything and everyone that is not under the direct control of the regime against themselves, and from day to day, they are entering new affairs and they are getting closer to political end.
But as the end draws to a close, the panic will increase, and with it the willingness to resort to the most brutal methods of dealing with dissidents. Be prepared, because the worst is probably yet to come.

<h2>Face TV and ‘Avaz’ under attack by Izetbegović</h2>

The brutal confrontation between Izetbegović's regime and Face TV, but also "Avaz", was timed at the moment when it was announced that Izetbegović was running again for the Bosniak member of the Presidency of B&amp;H in the 2022 general elections.
Namely, Izetbegović is aware of the huge influence that "Avaz" and Face TV, ie Senad Hadžifejzović, have in Bosniak public opinion, so he is trying and will try to turn off the voice of these two media, because their writings about corruption and crime of the regime drastically diminishes the chances of an election victory.
Additionally, Izetbegović is aware that these two media outlets cannot be bribed or controlled in any way, because they both operate in the market and depend on their readers and viewers, and not on the privileged from the budget controlled by the SDA.

Faced with a series of political defeats, Izetbegović decided to embark on a path of political despair

Why Senad is the target?

A hearing was held today before Jasmina Serdovski, a judge of the Municipal Court in Sarajevo, to order custody for Abdulah Hajdarević, who is suspected of endangering the safety of the editor and owner of Face TV, Senad Hadžifejzović.
