SDP BiH: Draft Election program, Plan 10

The Social Democratic Party of BiH today held a strategic planning session which included presentation of the draft Election program for the General elections 2018, entitled Plan 10.

Today's promotion of the draft program is, inter alia, a result of SDP's touring more than 50 towns across BiH during this year. By filling in surveys the citizens interested in the program were able to select priorities from variety of fields which were consequently incorporated in the draft Election program.

This is the first time that a political party in BiH directly involves the citizens in consolidation of its election program.

Besides proposals by citizens, members and followers of SDP BiH, the draft Election program also included ideas which arrived from representatives of BiH academic community, esteemed experts from various fields, as well as the members of the Council and Board of SDP BiH.

The president of SDP BiH, Nermin Niksic, emphasized in his speech that, through the Plan 10, SDP intends to create a brand new political paradigm in BiH.

- It is important that the citizens of this country know that SDP wants everyone in this country to be equal. That all citizens have equal rights and opportunities, and for all of them to be equal before the law in every corner of BiH. We also want to explain to the workers that we want and know what to do so that they can have bigger salaries, more secure jobs and better work conditions, Niksic said and added:

- We have to tell the citizens that we have a plan for their children so that they can have better kindergartens, schools and universities. We need to convince them that power in the hands of SDP means equal opportunities for education for all, and not only for those who can pay. It also means that all people in BiH will have health insurance and with an access to the basic health services for the employed, unemployed, students, pensioners...

In the draft Election program, SDP offer their solutions for many acute problems from 10 different fields. So, there are Economy plan, Justice plan, Youth plan, Culture and sports plan, Ecology and tourism plan, Education plan, Health plan, Just society plan, EU/NATO and diaspora plan, and Public administration reform plan.  

SDP is the first political organization in BiH to present its Election program one year ahead of the general election. The program, however, is still in its draft stage and will be further developed and updated.
