There are ongoing discussions within the Platform for Progress on how to expand the newly formed coalition, The Country. The coalition represents six political parties, which was spearheaded by the Platform for Progress, in an effort to form a united front to challenge the ruling nationalist parties. Platform president, Mirsad Hadžikadić, will be the presidential candidate for The Country in this year’s general election in October. He and I recently spoke about the ongoing efforts to expand the coalition and the daily strategizing needed in preparation for the elections. Which, in his words, are incredibly important and crucial, in determining the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, during these very troubling times.
