Bosnia and Herzegovina: The Quest for Change
Plans for the Official Announcement of the Platform for Progress Movement Continue
Statehood Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a national holiday celebrated on November 25 of each year. It was on this day in 1943 that the Anti-Fascist Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH) adopted a resolution declaring Bosnia and Herzegovina an equal community of Serbs, Muslims and Croats. The resolution was adopted when Yugoslavia was occupied and divided between Germany, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria. Mirsad Hadzikadic and his Platform For Progress team felt it appropriate on this day to officially announce the formation of the movement. However the planned event is much more than just an announcement. Mirsad and I spoke about its significance not only for the movement, but the country as a whole moving forward.
