On the occasion of Avdo Avdić's writing on the Istraga.ba portal that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin are working together to overthrow the High Representative in B&H Valentin Inzko and that they want to replace him with Christian Schmidt, a former CDU MP and in the Bundestag, and against the will of US President-elect Joe Biden, Stefan Shwarz, who was himself a member of the Bundestag, reacted on his Facebook profile.

Schwartz wrote two comments, one shorter (and sharper) in German, and the other, longer, in English.

Angry at Avdo - Avdić produces bullshit, not facts

Angry at Avdo - Avdić produces bullshit, not facts.

I read that crazy article. I am angry and sorry that I have to be blunt: that article is full of bullshit. There are so many fake news and just crazy conspiracy theories in this piece that I wonder how Avdic could even write it or why some news outlets would publish such crap.

First,

Angela Merkel is not at all a friend of Putin, and she is a fan of America (while not of crazy and dangerous Trump, but of Obama, President-elect Biden and normal American politicians). So Avdic should know - and surely he knows it - that it will never going to happen that Germany and Merkel (!) play games with Putin (!) against America. Never read such bullshit in the last many years, never.

Second,

Thirs, there will be simply be no new OHR without an agreement of the UN Security Council. As Avdic knows exactly there is decision required by the UNSC, and there is a veto power by 5 of its members at the same time, among them: the United States.

So, even if that absolutely crazy story would be true - which it is not - it's a totally illogical phantasy that the U.S. (with then Joe Biden!) would just do nothing on BIH and OHR, and would only sit and watch, and finally vote for some result of Merkel and Putin (what a crap, this idea) conspiracy against America?!

That is so crazy that the only logical question is: Who commanded Avo to write such a crap?

And now, some facts against Avdo's crap

And now, some facts against Avdo's crap.

Third,

Christian Schmidt, whom I know from our common work in the German Bundestag, is definitely NOT a guy who would take part in any conspiracy with Putin - which first of all Angela Merkel, whom I know since 1990, would never ever even think of, as Christian would not.

Christian Schmidt was States Secretary of Defense (!), is a strong advocate of NATO (!) and German-US partnership (!), and he had always been and is still absolutely critical of Russia’s Putin.

When Christian was Minister of Agriculture and Putin put sanctions on European agricultural imports (trying to answer the hard sanctions after he invaded Ukraine and Crimea), Christian Schmidt became somewhat famous for his campaign for more consumption of our agricultural goods, especially apples - in saying the very smart sentence: „An apple a day keeps Putin away!“ So he advocated with a smile that eating European, German apples and fruits would not only help the agricultural branch but would also be a nice contribution for defense against an ever more aggressive Russian Putin.

So, if anybody would even think about a game in the back of our long term friends in America, especially with Putin, he might have lost his mind. Or would have been payed by someone to publish such a bullshit in trying to damage the Germans to their activities in BIH. Maybe Avdić knows - and tells openly - on which payroll or under which command he does such things.  

Finally, If Christian Schmidt would be replacing the political Eunuch Valentin Inzko that should not be a bad choice for BIH.  

At least a more powerful and well connected German would take over instead of that grey anxious and weak guy who did nearly nothing in the last years to help Bosnia get back on its feet.

Inzko as OHR has all the power to stop Dodik and other corrupt leaders, but he is afraid of using them. Meanhwile he earns a ton of money, but he does not deliver in his job.

If Christian Schmidt or anybody else with just courage to really help the country, alongside with the new US President who is a real (!) friend of Bosnia, that would be the progress the normal people of Bosnia and Hercegovina are waiting for years now.

That’s how Bosnians might see it.

They should not pay attention to any crap published by people like Avdic of whom you never know on which payroll and command he is just trying to play dirty games.

Avdo might be good or bad in investigating corruption. But he should not let himself being corrupted then, even not politically by powers with hidden interests. Just play open, straightforward. That is a much better service to the country which has suffered enough.

Pozdrav,

Merry Christmas! Frohe Weihnachten! Sretan Božić!

Stefan Schwarz.

A heavy slap to Osmica

Knowing the personal relationship between journalist Avdo Avdić and ISA director Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, but also information from certain international circles, Schwartz's text is a serious message and a slap in the face to director Osmica.

Namely, it is an old story that Avdić received the main material for his portal and the texts he publishes with the selfless logistical help of the ISA director.

That is why the question rightly arises as to whether it was Osmica who "sold" Avdić the insidious thesis about the alleged joint action of Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin to overthrow the High Representative in B&H, Valentin Inzko.

From the biography of Stefan Schwarz
