Arapović presents Manifest for the State: Honesty is the cement that will build BiH

SARAJEVO, (Patria)  - A new Coalition Država was presented today in Sarajevo, consisting of Platforma za progres, Nezavisni blok, Posavska stranka, the RED movement, the Valter movement, as well as independent representatives and councilors. 

The manifesto of the Coalition Država, which has been worked on over the past few months, was also presented. 

As was stated, the state will always be above any individual and any political or other organization. The manifesto defines the principles and goals of the Coalition Država's activities.

The president of NB, Senad Šepić, emphasized that this is the first coalition formed in the pre-election period.

„Our goal is a functional and efficient state for everyone on every inch of BiH. We must do something concrete to restore citizens' trust in politics. The Coalition Država is an internal response to the destructive and barren politics of those in power at various levels of government, but also to Vučić's Serbian world and Milanović's jalijaška story, which must receive a reasoned response.

Adis Arapović, who founded the RED movement, said that today they are raising the state flag. He emphasized that the coalition is gathered around a shared vision of a better BiH, as a unique, indivisible, and sovereign state.

„The citizen-individual will be the bearer of freedom and sovereignty, community, peace and tolerance, protection of constitutionality and the rule of law is our vision and the foundation of a modern state. For too long we have been hostages of the power of ruling parties, their leaders and financial centers of power. The Coalition Država is formed for all citizens of BiH, committed to building a better BiH“, said Arapović.

We are united by principles, values, goals, youth, the state, education, knowledge.

„Honesty is the cement that will build BiH, we advocate for the honest selection of honest people in all public functions, and especially for expanding opportunities for young people, their development and staying in their own homeland. All of this is our responsibility. Constitutional and economic patriotism, secular organization, and decentralization, and the development of villages and cities is our vision of a new future. The rule of law instead of the rule of individuals, an efficient judiciary, bodies, equality in the exercise of rights, opposition to crime, corruption, clientelism“, said Arapović.

Mirsad Hadžikadić said that the goal is to restore dignity to political discourse.

„The state is the foundation for solving problems and for citizens. The standard of living is threatened for the majority of citizens throughout the entire territory of BiH, regardless of ethnicity. In BiH, it is not an ideological but a value-based struggle. Here, a struggle is being waged between those who offer knowledge and honesty as the key to success and those who promote crime, nepotism, and personal enrichment. Wrong values cannot build a just state that is fair and efficient. Only a strong and wealthy state can provide citizens and peoples with the life they deserve. That is the goal of the Coalition Država", he said. 

Hadžikadić called on all parties and individuals who believe in the same values to join the Coalition Država.
