    A New Course for the Platform for Progress

    After six years, the Platform for Progress will no longer exist as a sole political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This as the congress of the Platform has decided on the future direction of the party. The first option would be to join with another party or parties to form an entirely new entity. If that does not work out, then continue as a movement rather than a political party. I recently spoke with the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadźikadić, about these difficult and trying times.

    Each year for the last 20 years thousands have gathered from around the world to participate in the Peace March in Bosnia and Herzegovina to honor the more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys who were massacred by the Bosnian Serb force. The three-day walk traverses the same route in the mountains in reverse that the men and boys traveled while trying to escape the troops. This year, as he has done every year since 2018, Platform for Progress president Mirsad Hadzikadic participated in the march.
