The management of the association Trentini nel mondo suspended Franja Rovera from the position of Coordinator of Trentino clubs for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Rover is a long-time activist in Štivor near Prnjavor who also served as the Coordinator of all Trentino clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In practice, he did not take any action to coordinate clubs in BiH with any of his acts in seven years, and he should have. He was suspended due to a conflict of interest because he was the president of the Trentina club in Štivor and at the same time was the coordinator, which is not allowed according to the rules of the Trentini nel mondo association. On the official WEB page of the association, where the club's coordinators in the world are shown, Rover's name and photo were removed, which definitely confirmed his suspension. For several months, Rover hid from the association Trentini nel mondo, as well as from Trentino clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that he was the president of the club in Štivor. After the suspension decision, Rover inappropriately and very primitively criticized the management of Trentini nel mondo, especially the President Maistri, stating incorrect and offensive information with which he wanted to discredit Maistri and other staff of Trentini nel mondo.

In addition to making inappropriate comments and statements, he repeatedly announced his response to criticism he received on account of his presence at the reception in Banja Luka on the occasion of January 9, an unconstitutional holiday in the Republic of Srpska according to the decision of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The administration of Trentini nel mondo, the Italian embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the deputy mayor of the City of Sarajevo, the association of Italians "Rino Zandonai" Tuzla, as well as the Italian media reacted to his presence at the ceremony. At the reception in Banja Luka, he presented himself as an emissary of the Province of Trento, wearing the badge of the Province on his jacket, and as a representative of the Italian national minority in Bosnia and Herzegovina (which, of course, is not true). He tried to portray the convictions he experienced as exercising the rights he has because he lives in the Republic of Srpska, and in his defense he presented again a series of inappropriate insults directed at everyone who reacted to his participation in the ceremony on 9/1/2024. year. 

Rover's tactlessness and extreme primitivism is probably a reflection of his lack of intelligence, his habit of violent behavior and blackmailing his fellow citizens, as well as his general lack of education and culture. His actions confirmed the correctness of his suspension from the position of Coordinator because his behavior caused damage to the Italians in Trento, the Trentini nel mondo association, as well as members of the Italian national minority in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
