Bosnia and Herzegovina: The Quest for Change

Bosnia and Herzegovina:  The Quest for Change


Lessons Learned for the Platform for Progress

August 26, 2021

With the 2022 general elections just over a year away in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Platform for Progress continues to review and analyze lessons learned from its experiences during the 2018 general elections and the 2020 local elections. The president of the Platform, Mirsad Hadžkadić, says it is essential for the organization to improve its reach at the grassroots level throughout the country in order to be able to address the needs of all of its citizens. Hadžkadić also spoke to me about how they must accept the fact that there will be negative chatter in the media from dissidents within the platform from here on out and how best to address it in the coming months. We also talked about the pending deadlines for the Platform, which include making any decisions into establishing a political coalition and the announcement of candidates for the 2022 general elections.
