FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, October 10 (FENA) - President of the Democratic Front (DF) and the newly elected member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Željko Komšić, thanked a member of the German Bundestag and the representative of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Michael Brand for the support to the Komšić's election as a member of the BiH Presidency, state the Democratic Front.

“In a time when some members of the European People's Party, particularly the HDZ of the Republic of Croatia, are attempting to challenge the democratic will of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, your words of support are of paramount importance.

Although we have different political affiliation, although you are coming from a line of people’s parties when it comes to political background and I come from the social democratic one, it is important to emphasize that we share common European and civic values ​​that form the basis of the European Union and they surpass ideological and political differences,” said Komšić.

He added that he agrees with Brand's claim that no European country except Bosnia and Herzegovina has such an ethnically discriminatory constitution, which has been confirmed by the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.

“As a future member of the Presidency, I am obligated to respect the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but I also believe that the existing discrimination in our constitution must be eliminated and that ethnicity cannot be the source of the rights of the citizen. I have been pointing to this problem for a long time, advocating for the civic, and at the same time the European concept of the organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina," stressed Komšić.

Komšić hopes to meet with German officials soon and emphasizes that the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina will always be a true friend of the Federal Republic of Germany.
