We are encouraged to see legitimate debate emerge within the RS on the roots of this political maneuver and the motivations that underlie it. This honest discourse on the disconnect between the corrupt forces driving decision-making in the RS and what is truly in the best interest of its people is indicative of the vibrant, transparent democracy BiH could and should be.
Nothing good can come of this referendum. The future of this country and all of its citizens lies with continued integration with the European Union. That objective is clearly attainable, and we want to work with the people of the RS to improve their quality of life by making it a reality. It is now up to the entity’s leadership to choose between progress, or political and economic isolation.
