BANJA LUKA Full Hall at the Academy on the Occasion of BiH Statehood Day

(Patria) - A ceremonial Academy on the occasion of BiH Statehood Day is being held tonight in Banja Luka, organized by the Social Democratic Party (SDP BiH). 

"For the first time in post-Dayton BiH, in Banja Luka, a Ceremonial Academy on the occasion of BiH Statehood Day and the 78th anniversary of ZAVNOBIH," wrote the host of the evening, Vojin Mijatović, on his Facebook profile.

"With all my heart for Bosnia and Herzegovina and for Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats, and all other citizens. Against separatism, against unitarism, against segregation and apartheid," said Irfan Čengić.

Nermin Nikšić, president of SDP, Saša Magazinović, member of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliament (SDP), Vojin Mijatović, vice-president of SDP, and numerous other sympathizers and members of this party are attending the ceremony. The hall was too small to accommodate everyone who wanted to come to Banja Luka on November 25th.

"The fight for Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a fight against anyone. It is a fight for all of us, from Una to Drina, from Sava to the sea. We all live in the same house. We cannot wish for the roof to leak in the next room and hope that it will be good for us. Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to all of us together and to everyone equally, no matter what our names are. The fight for Bosnia and Herzegovina is a fight for good neighborly relations and mutual respect based on the principles of equality, sincerity, and truth. 

Long live our homeland Bosnia and Herzegovina. One house for all of us. The only country born twice in the anti-fascist struggle. Death to fascism, freedom to the people!" Nikšić said in his earlier congratulatory message.

The ceremony began with the anthem of our Bosnia and Herzegovina.
