Dnevni list: It seems that a social mess begins to spread all over the country, which also confirms the data that after the disabled, war veterans should soon get to the streets because of the unpaid remunerations. As it has been confirmed by Mehmed Šišić, chairman of the Association of war veterans of BiH, payments of remunerations are late in all cantons.
“Payments are late for five months in some cantons, while they have been paid in total only in the Sarajevski canton, the Brčko District of BiH and the RS. We have given a deadline to the governments to find the funds until March 5th, otherwise we go into the massive protests”, Šišić has said. War veterans deliberate two options of protests, one is a blockade of traffic and another is the protests in front of the Government building.
Šišić says that they have received the information from governments that there are no sufficient funds for payment of remunerations to the war veterans. “Governing structures have not count on such drop of revenues. The Federal Government should for January pay eight million KM, and cantons 1.7 million, which they do not have”, Šišić has said. He has also added that the war veterans are disgusted by such scenario and that they will try to get their rights by protests, which they consider a democratic way of expressing the dissatisfaction.
Šišić has pointed out that the war veterans continue negotiations with the Federal Government, but he claims that the parliamentarians have not had understandings for a previous agreement between war veterans and the Government. He says that it is about a classical extending of time, what the war veterans will surely not agree on, and they will try to ensure their rights by all resources.
