Although it sounds like an April Fool's joke or an article from the "believe it or not" section, the news is true - the football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina will play a friendly match against Russia. In Russia! This is the decision of the Emergency Committee of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which today, with five votes "for" and one against, decided to send the "Dragons" to the Russians. The same Football Association led by the notorious Vico Zeljković, the cousin of Milorad Dodik, who is „a son“ of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Russia's brutal aggression against Ukraine provoked a unique and decisive reaction from the civilized world. Almost all Western countries have unquestioningly imposed sanctions on Russia and are arming Ukraine to the teeth, which is fighting against a superior aggressor. In the name of solidarity with the Ukrainians, the citizens of Western countries overwhelmingly support such measures, aware that they will have to bear the economic consequences and have an uncertain winter due to a possible lack of Russian gas. There are things that are bigger and more important to honorable people than money.

Russia has been kicked out of most sports federations. FIFA and UEFA expelled the Russian national team and clubs from all competitions.

But that didn't stop the miserable people from the Football Association from making the decision that Bosnia and Herzegovina should be the one to honor the sanctioned and isolated Russia with an international match. On their field.

And while Russian cannons and tanks soak Ukrainian cities with human blood, BiH young men will have to soak their jerseys with sweat in the aggressor state. Of course, it is certain that most of our best football players will be banned from traveling to Russia by their clubs. Just as it is certain that this scandalous move by the Football Association will resonate with the world public, and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be further and deeply compromised in the eyes of the civilized world. Thus, a popular Ukrainian portal asks with horror, "Bosnia and Herzegovina, do you really want to play against the national team of a terrorist state?", along with a picture showing destroyed Ukrainian cities under Russian aggression.The Russian aggressor will be honored with a match and the finger will be pointed in the eyes of the world by a country that itself three decades ago was a victim of brutal aggression and begged the world for help and solidarity. In a situation where, due to the multi-year disastrous policy of incompetent leaders, the reputation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the West is at a historic low, to cause such damage to the state and create a world scandal for it, to place it on the side of aggressors and evil, is a move equal to a national treason.

So remember the following names well: Vico Zeljković, Ivan Beus, Miloš Brkić, Dragan Soldo and Fuad Čolpa.

With the honorable exception of Irfan Durić, these scoundrels decided to create an unprecedented international scandal for Bosnia and Herzegovina and permanently tarnish the reputation of our country. They deserve to have their names forever engraved on the pillar of shame.

Finally, BiH citizens and the general public must raise their voices and oppose this attempt to bring civilizational shame to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
