Tako je divno što je iznad svih domaćih vijesti Lana Pudar. Neka tako bar malo ostane. Bosni i Hercegovini i njenim umornim ljudima treba ovakva zlatna pauza iz koje se može izroditi novo razmišljanje.
Sead Numanović seupitao: Ko će naslijediti Schmidta? No, izgleda ipak niko. Predpostavljam da će se Schmidt izvinuti za epizodu iz Goražda (koja se ponavlja) i nastaviti. Tako je to kad se Bosanci podcjenjuju i smatraju ljudima koji žive od danas do sutra politicki.ba/politika/ko-ce…
Plodovi ne izrastaju od oluje. Tiha kiša čini žetvu izvjesnom. * The fruits do not grow from the storm. The silent rain makes the harvest certain. * Die Früchte wachsen nicht aus dem Sturm. Stiller Regen macht die Ernte sicher.

After it was revealed that former Australian PM Scott Morrison had secretly appointed himself minister for home affairs, treasury, health, finance and resources (Reuters story here: tinyurl.com/ycke8bks)… …This from Australia’s satirical @BetootaAdvocate 👇🏻
It is rather simple: High Representative only has to suspend or even exclude those politician from political arena without these frustrating tones and noisy uproar. Let him remove those who violate "Dayton" and let him not put everyone in the same basket. He has the Bona powers.
Ili gospodin visoki predstavnik Schmidt ipak ne razumije. U tom je slučaju sve uzalud - on će po svome, pa kud puklo da puklo; šta god bude. Zato se zalažem(o) za kulturu javnog dijaloga. Ovaj nastup u Goraždu nije (bio( to. Sorry her Schmidt.
Argumentirana kritika se mora istrpjeti i na nju se treba uzvratiti argumentirano a ne izlivima bijesa. Niko ovdje nikom nije posilni niti su - ne bi trebali biti - mediji politički servis onih na vlasti, pa tako ni međunarodnim dužnosnicima..
Dakle obhodite se lijepo i dostojanstveno s visokim predstavnikom molim. Ali kritikujmo ga kad krene u pogrešnom pravcu: nije ovo 1995. prošlo je skoro 30 godina i demokratija je ipak iznikla kaop egzotična biljka u BiH.
Kaže gospodin Schmidt dosta mu je uvreda. U pravu je treba se uljudno obhoditi u javnom prostoru. Ali kao realpolitičar ili pak samo korisnik društvenih mreža valda mu je jasno da svi mi koji smo u javnom govoru odavno trpimo nepojmljive uvrede.

Dear Mr. High Representative Christian Schmidt please take a good care of your health - resign and leave OHR and Sarajevo. This job is not for you. There is more political culture in Bosnia & Herzegovina then you can offer.Your tone is not adequate for your political experience. twitter.com/N1infoSA/statu…

Diplomats say the UN Security Council is currently deadlocked over extending travel ban waivers to a group of Taliban officials in #Afghanistan. Those exemptions for 13 officials are set to expire Friday. A 30-day rollover was blocked by Ireland, per diplomats.
