The first President of the Assembly of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1996, Miro Lazović, believes that it is clear to everyone that after 25 years of Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina, the time has come to change the Constitution of our country.
“This is a fact suggested by foreign officials, primarily the US administration, that limited changes to the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be made,” Lazovic said at the Cultural Center in Mostar, where he spoke at tribunes on changes to the BiH Constitution and which is organized by the Council of the Congress of Bosniak Intellectuals (VKBI), the Croatian National Council (HNV), the Serbian Civil Council (SGV), the Forum of BiH Parliamentarians 1990.
“The formula on which Bosnia and Herzegovina has lived for these 25 years opposes the referendum question voted by the citizens, which is that they want to live in the entire state of Bosnia and Herzegovina of equal peoples and all its citizens throughout BiH. So these 25 years we have one a formula that practically divides Bosnian society and the state, “Lazovic said.
He points out that this formula has proved ineffective and that he thinks that the US administration, with the hint already taken, will have to be much more active in this area and make evident changes to the Dayton Peace Agreement, especially Annex 4, which is the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. discriminatory provisions in the BiH Constitution that would enable our country to build its path towards Euro-Atlantic integration and become a member of the European Union and NATO.
“It is completely clear that this formula of two entities of three peoples is not a formula on which this Bosnia and Herzegovina can survive. It is not a form of three entities and three peoples, but Bosnia and Herzegovina must be built as a civil state, in a way that an individual in the center of all political events, in a way that all his freedoms and human rights are protected throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. I think that this is the period in which the battle between the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a civil state with an individual at the center of the Constitution or to remain a state of ethnic groups “, concluded Lazović.
He emphasized that he expects that the tribunes that are being held in BiH will animate a huge number of citizens who will support the changes to the Constitution of BiH, with which they will move faster towards creating a civil state of BiH, based on European standards.
“Because BiH must organize itself as a state full of human rights on the principles of European standards,” concluded the first President of the Assembly of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1996, Klix.ba writes.
