The ongoing demonstrations have happened for a clear reason, and they should be an alarm bell – loud and clear.

The message that has emerged from the ongoing protests is clear: citizens are tired of the divisive rhetoric and lack of progress on real issues we have seen from the authorities and the political leaders in the past years.

The ongoing demonstrations have happened for a clear reason, and they should be a wake up call. The priority must be to adress socio-economic and poltiical reforms, which are in the interest of the citizens. The priority must also be to adress conditions which would enable BiH to move forward on the Euro-Atlantic integration agenda.

The message from the protesters in all cities and in all regions is very clear: a fundamental change in the way politics in conducted in this country is essential.

Both myself and other IC representatives clearly condemned the violence. On the other hand, a right to peaceful demonstrations is a basic democratic right and the people have a right to protest with dignity.

I welcome the decision of the FBiH Constitutional Court on a temporary measure enabling the Minister of Finance of the FBiH to remain in office until the case pending before the Court is decided on its merits.
