No party anymore has the monopoly over the Bosniak people that it once had, nor can it manage all processes alone, the Bosniak Civic Alliance (BGA) announced today.
The BGA statement states that the founding assembly of the BGA was held yesterday in Rožaje, at which it was stated that all documentation for the registration of this political entity had been collected, and that the Program Principles and Statute had been adopted.
The statement also states that Seid Hadžić, a member of the Parliament of Montenegro, was unanimously appointed president and the person responsible for representing the party until the Congress.
Hadžić is part of the Europe Now Movement (PES) parliamentary group in the Parliament of Montenegro.
The BGA said that some of the party's founders addressed the rally: Hadžić, long-time councilor in the Petnjica Municipal Assembly Aldin Muratović, and applied physical therapy specialist Aldin Murić.
"This is a party of united individuals with the stance that Bosniaks in Montenegro must not be weak and divided. They should build their future on the idea of a strong, disciplined and hardworking people, as well as a politically mature society," it was emphasized at the gathering, according to a BGA statement.
The party said that it is clear that the work on the political maturity of the people can no longer be carried out by just one party, and that changes are necessary.
"No party anymore has the monopoly over the Bosniak people that it once had, nor can it manage all processes alone. On the other hand, it was emphasized that this is not a story about destroying anyone - we will not deal with that. This is a story about unification and common success. The BGA is actually ready for cooperation, alliance and dialogue with all parties, associations, social groups and individuals who are dedicated to the stability and prosperity of all citizens of Montenegro. In the 1990s, while mosques were being demolished in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosniaks were building a church in Rožaje. Therefore, we will try to help every community in Montenegro to move from narrowly national to civic politics," the BGA said.
They state that their goal is to inherit civic principles and commitments.
"We do not want to be the leaders of the Bosniak people - we want to progress together with them. We do not see the future of cities in the same way as others, so we will do our best and offer the people our vision of general social progress. Partitocracy must no longer dominate. We must stand with the citizens and offer them concrete solutions, and respond to every need and request that is sent to us," said the BGA.
