Bosnia and Herzegovina:  The Quest for Change


The Impact of the Coronavirus in Bosnia and Herzegovina

March 13, 2020

As the coronavirus continues to make its presence felt around the globe, there are now seven confirmed cases in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And as a result of the wrath it has reigned, particularly in Italy and other neighboring countries in Europe, the country has barred entry to travelers from those countries most affected but the coronavirus outbreak and banned public gatherings of more than 300 people indefinitely.  As a result travel has been limited at best for Mirsad Hadzikadic and the Platform for Progress as they continue organizing around the country in preparation for the local elections in October of 2020.  When Mirsad and I recently spoke he said planned trips to Austria had to be cancelled in addition to several appearances in Bosnia and Herzegovina.  But despite these setbacks he says he was able to present a major Platform proposal in the town of Mostar that could restore local elections there for the first time in eight years.
