The proposal of the Center for Democratic Transition to establish a working body of Parliament that would deal with illegal foreign interference in democratic processes was supported by six parliamentary parties – URA, SNP, DPS, Bosniak Party, SDP and SD, but this initiative has still not been included in the legislative agenda of Parliament.
Pobjeda’s interviewees – DPS MP Danijel Zivkovic, SDP Secretary General Ivan Vujovic, SD spokesman Nikola Zirojevic, and Bosniak Party spokesman Adel Omeragic agree that the experience with the election process so far has shown that it is necessary to form a body that would, together with a strong institutional response, deal with foreign influences and interference in democratic processes.
Zivkovic believes that by working in such a committee, following the example of the European Union, they could create a strategic framework that would enable them to deal with attempts to shape the awareness of citizens through the placement of disinformation. This is especially true, he adds, because some media have become a serious instrument of other countries in the implementation of the set goals.
