Kunic said that anyone bringing this up now has "hidden agendas," a view that’s echoed by politicians from the Serb Democratic Party. "There are still parties and individuals in the Federation that are trying to realise some of the goals they didn’t achieve during the war," party vice president Bosko Siljegovic said in an article published by the Banja Luka daily Nezavisne Novine as part of a series on constitutional change. "These forcible initiatives only close the ranks of all political parties from the RS in the common resistance to changing the constitution."
Kunić kaže da svako ko takve izmene pominje ima “skrivene planove”, što je dominantan stav i u Srpskoj demokratskoj stranci (SDS). “Još uvek postoje stranke i pojedinci u Federaciji koji pokušavaju da ostvare neke ciljeve koje nisu postigli za vreme rata”, izjavio je potpredsednik SDS Boško Šiljegović u intervjuu banjalučkom dnevniku Nezavisne Novine u okviru serije članaka o ustavnim promenama. “Te agresivne inicijative samo zbijaju redove svih političkih stranaka u RS u zajedničkom otporu izmenama ustava.”
