Party for BiH press conference

The Party for BiH held a press conference in Sarajevo on Monday. “The political will of the International Community may become exhausted by changes, which would strengthen the position of political parties working to maintain the present situation” stated party President Haris Silajdzic. He added that his party advocated postponing the local elections, because BiH citizens are not constituent throughout BiH and previous election results have not yet been implemented. Silajdzic concluded that a democratic and humane society could not be built on the results of genocide and aggression.
