In BiH we must strive toward the goal of balancing and harmonizing the interests of the three constituent peoples on one side, and building a civil society on the other. Collective national rights and the rights of individuals removed from nationality should supplement each other, and not to be in conflict. The exclusivity of one or the other does not represent a just or a viable solution. The structure of the peace agreement should be balanced toward the direction of consistency and standardization of the rights of all peoples and all citizens, which, presently, is not the case. All three peoples must have the same modalities to access institutions of authority, and each citizen must have the same rights on the entire territory of the state.
Inequality leads to dissatisfaction or instability.
Our young state is like all new institutions. It grows changes and strengthens. This state can only advance, however, if it is built according to our capabilities, views and agreements. In this context, please insist on direct communication between us in all institutions, as we in the Presidency have recently started to put into practice, as opposed to the old practice of communication through you. If this message is clear, and all of us exercise patience, I am convinced that together, we will be able to achieve a self-sustaining, multicultural, and multiethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina that we seek.
