Cvitanović supported the initiative from Zagreb: "Positions in the Presidency of BiH have been stolen and hijacked for 16 years"

The leader of the largest Croatian opposition party in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Dragan Cvitanović, has supported an initiative launched in Zagreb regarding the alleged theft of Croatian positions in the BiH Presidency over the past 16 years. He emphasized that efforts to secure Croatian rights under the Dayton Peace Agreement, particularly Annex IV, are 'worthy of praise' and that initiatives in Zagreb are fully legitimate. Cvitanović criticized the election of Željko Komšić as president of BiH, arguing this undermines trust between Croats and Bosniaks, a concern raised by high-ranking Croatian officials. The initiative, proposed by Ivan Penava of the Homeland Movement, aims to strengthen the position of Croats in BiH through constitutional changes to prevent Bosniaks from outvoting them in presidential elections. Penava clarified that the proposal does not challenge the constitutional order of BiH or the Federation of BiH but seeks to ensure true equality among constituent nations.
