Mirko Pejanović: I am convinced that Bećirović is the best solution for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina

By: Academician Mirko Pejanović, member of the wartime Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1995.

Prof. Dr. Denis Bećirović has never had any doubt about the direction and goals of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Membership in the European Union and NATO has been and remains a priority of BiH's foreign policy for him. Unlike politicians who only declaratively present themselves as "promoters of European values" while essentially blocking BiH's European path, Bećirović is seriously working on this front. He is a man who demonstrates the knowledge, will, and responsibility to unite the energies of citizens, civil society organizations, and political parties on the social project of accelerating Bosnia and Herzegovina's integration into the European Union and NATO alliance.

Bećirović is aware that through enhanced and correct diplomatic actions, especially in the field of economic diplomacy, we can improve Bosnia and Herzegovina's image in the world. In this way, we would attract foreign investors to invest in BiH, instead of them, as has most often been the case so far, giving us moral and brotherly support while opening factories and new jobs in other countries. Denis Bećirović is the only candidate for the BiH Presidency member who can achieve this.

It is not without reason that the reputable and internationally recognized IFIMES has singled out Denis Bećirović as the greatest hope for a civic Bosnia and Herzegovina. In their research, they very clearly recognize how Bećirović opposes the nationalist discourse established and nurtured by nationalist elites. According to the analyses of the aforementioned IFIMES, young people represent about 21% of the electorate, and if they were to turn out in large numbers, they could likely decide the election winner. In all his pre-election appearances, Professor Bećirović emphasizes his concern for young and unemployed people. Bećirović is a quality politician, focused on the future, the country's prosperity, and halting the mass emigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

By voting for Denis Bećirović for the BiH Presidency member, we are voting for an honest, educated, consistent, decisive, and capable politician. By voting for Denis Bećirović for the BiH Presidency member, we are voting for a stable, prosperous, and European state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a state of all its citizens. We have regretted wrong choices many times, especially for the BiH Presidency member; these wrong choices have significantly set us back. Let's not make mistakes again and regret them again. Let's vote for Denis Bećirović because he is the only right choice if we want to witness the prosperity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A large number of different politicians have passed through the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There were those from the left and those from the right of the party spectrum. There were young, old, educated, and those with less schooling; there were those who slept through their mandate, but most were there to implement the policies of their party leaders without the need or desire to think for themselves. We don't even know that most of these politicians represented us, and we don't even know the names of some. By performing the role of a representative and member of the Collegium of the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, he showed that he has statesmanlike manners and the skill to fight for the interests of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Throughout his entire political career, Denis has proven to be an undisputed fighter for a whole and sovereign Bosnia and Herzegovina. He reacted immediately and very sharply to every external attack, which is why he was often the target of attacks from the presidents of neighboring, but also other countries that dared to interfere with the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We managed to preserve the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war, and we need to elect a president who will protect it in peace and lead it towards progress. That is precisely why I am giving my vote to the only candidate I trust and for whom I am sure is the best solution for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
