Debakl protesta u Tuzli: Radnici razjedinjeni, vođe postaju članovi političkih stranaka

Radnički protesti koji su od jutros pa do podneva trajali u Tuzli, prema ocjenama samih učesnika, doživjeli su potpuni debakl.

"Zar da se u kantonu gdje je 100.000 nezaposlenih na protestima pojavi 100 ili 200 građana? Moramo mijenjati način organizacije i moramo se sjediniti. Ovako smo podijeljeni na četiri ili pet frakcije, nemamo konkretnih zahtjeva, idemo političarima na noge, a tamo nas dočekuju zatvorena vrata“, kaže Fadil Duranović, osnivač grupe "Srebrenik je naš“.

Sindikat Solidarnosti danas je najavio masovne proteste, ali od početnih nekoliko stotina učesnika, kako je vrijeme odmicalo kolona je bila siromašnija. Na Trgu slobode nije bilo više od 100 učesnika.

Osnivač Sindikata Solidarnosti, Sakib Kopić, istakao je kako u cijeloj priči nema politike, ali su neki od aktera današnjih protesta glasno komentarisali kako je se danas samo zviždalo ispred sjedišta tuzlanskog SDP-a i SDA, ali ne i pred sjedištima drugih parlamentarnih stranaka, konkretno ispred sjedišta SBB-a jer se prolazilo tim putem.

Također, pojedini radnici upozoravaju kako sindikalne vođe postaju članovi političkih partija. Tako je Mevludin Trakić, predsjednik Sindikata *********, na listi Ragionalnog demokratskog saveza za predstojeće opće izbore, te da je Emina Busuladžić iz Dite članica Komunističke partije.

Za još neke sindikaliste se spekuliše kako šuruju sa pojedinim političkim partijama. Inače, nakon sastanka u Kantonalnom tužilaštvu TK gdje su ponovljene "šarene laže“, učesnici protesta su prošetali do Skupštine TK gdje ih nije niko dočekao, odnosno u zgradi su bili samo sekretar i portir.

Na Trgu slobode su okončani protesti, a prisutnim građanima obratili su se Sakib Kopić, Fadil Duranović i član Sindikata visokog obrazovanja prof. Edin Delić.

Fire Turns Centuries of Bosnian History Black

Lack of funds to restore Bosnia’s state archives, which were badly damaged by a fire in February’s protests, means priceless documents could be lost forever.

Six months after a Molotov cocktail sparked a fire in Bosnia’s State Archive, in the civil unrest that struck the country in spring, some of its oldest and most important documents appear to have been lost forever.

A collection of official orders by Sultans from the Ottoman period have been burned beyond retrieval, as have illuminated manuscripts and philosophical works from the 17th and 18th centuries. Valuable records from the times when Austria-Hungary ruled Bosnia were also charred by the blaze.

Tomes seized by the flames contained letters, government orders and historical accounts from centuries of history. Some are burned to pieces; others are still legible.

“I wept at home when I saw the images on TV,” says archivist Sandra Biletic, remembering the day of the protests, “Because I knew what was inside”.

“It’s a very sorry sight altogether for researchers and anybody who values heritage,” historian Emir Filipovic said “It’s not about the number of documents. If one document was lost irreparably, that’s a great loss to science and to culture.”

Tubs of paint, spools of wire and floodlights now fill the corridors of the Archive, alongside stacks upon stacks of charred and crumbling papers. The strong smell of a bonfire still hangs in the air.

Mass protests against poverty, corruption and unemployment started in the northern town of Tuzla on February 5 when hundreds of redundant workers from several large companies that had been privatized and shut down took to the streets.

The protests then spread and turned violent, after which official buildings were attacked in Tuzla, Zenica, Mostar and Sarajevo – including the Bosnian Presidency building, which houses the state archives.

The fire itself took three days to extinguish. The first task was to remove files from the charred rooms, since the lingering smoke would damage them further. Many files were drenched in the effort to put out the blaze.

Since then, a team of 19 people has worked every day to read and clean those documents that were not soaked, removing the parts that cannot be rescued and packaging them in fresh, labeled boxes.

Meanwhile the wet papers are laid out to dry. Each page must be painstakingly separated to prevent sticking and tearing.

At this rate, due to a financial shortfall of 150,000 euro, the restoration will take five years – too late for some of these documents, experts said.

Insufficient financial aid

A request for help sent to the Bosnian government in the disaster’s immediate aftermath has still not received a response, the Archive’s director, Dusan Vrzina, said.

“The government has not made any promises. We sent a report about the damage, and are awaiting their answer,” he told Balkan Insight.

“We are hoping the politicians will help us, and recognize the value of the documents,” he said.

Despite donations in kind and assistance from international organisations, a lack of money, equipment and space to work in the building of the Presidency is hindering the rehabilitation effort.

“The main problem is space. I can work at my desk but it becomes dirty,” archivist Sandra Biletic said. She added that since Depot One itself is being restored, clean surfaces on which to work are few and far between.

“Here is our key work tool,” she said, gesturing to a pair of scissors.

In the process of reading every page of the damaged archives, the team has made some interesting personal discoveries, highlighting the lasting value of the records to the public.

“I learned for example that four Bosnians were on the Titanic,” Biletic noted. “There are so many interesting histories in here about the Bosnian people.”

One small step to alleviate the cramped conditions in the archives has been made with the help of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency, which is refurbishing Depot One.

The work will shortly be completed. The two rooms smell of fresh paint and will provide a little more space for laying out the documents.

In the last six months, experts have poured in from Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and further afield to offer specialist recommendations for reading and drying the papers.

“The advice was very helpful because we were a little lost at the time,” Archive director Vrzina said. He added that donations had come from Sweden, the Czech Republic and other parties.

Politicians don’t care:

Historian Emir Filipovic, of the University of Sarajevo, said the lack of political will to support the restoration of the archives would result in even further unnecessary losses of priceless artifacts.

“The biggest threat to the documents – many of which were drenched as the fire was put out – is the creation of mold,” he said.

“It eats through the documents and damages those areas of the document that contain ink, making them unreadable and more susceptible to breaking down.”

Further space and money are needed, Filipovic said, and the archives should be re-situated altogether.

“They shouldn’t even have been in the building [of the Presidency]. Each state archive needs to be in a different building, with conditions met regarding levels of light, humidity and so on,” he said.

“In certain societies, [a fire] would have been enough grounds to establish a new location, and for work to have begun within six months afterwards. In Bosnia, the politicians have different priorities,” he said.

Filipovic believes the lack of funding for this project is symptomatic of a general tendency by politicians to focus on their personal financial interests rather than the preservation of Bosnian history.

“One of the best ways to destroy a people is to destroy its culture,” he said. “For me, it all looks like an orchestrated attempt to erase the history of the state and of society.”

Lupas gluposti,kazem ti te teorije zavjere su ti udarile u glavu,samo nagadjas
by the way znas li tko ubi Kennedy-a

Ako ces primjeniti iste kriterije i to tvoje je teorija zavjere, s tim sto ona druga ima vise argumenata.

Jakih argumenata,imam fotke,mislim ono stvarno bezze,naravno da je i ovo moje samo nagadjanje ali se on razmahao kao da je potpuno siguran u to da se nered naredio iz ambasade,je mozda iz Klepistanske ambasade
Kako netko uopce moze tvrdit i optuzivat strance za nerede samo na osnovu nekih fotografija,tebi je to dovoljan argument?

Mene samo iznenadjuje da neko vjeruje da oni smiju i prnuti bez dozvole sa strane.

Bili su to samo probni baloni i bit će ih još svakako.
