“I oppose the proposal that 1. February declared the day of the establishment of Sarajevo because the initiative denies the tradition of the Urbanism of the Sarajevo region old almost two millennia.
The period of antiquity is completely ignored when there was a city of Aquae, which included the premises of today’s Canton Sarajevo, about which there are archaeological and written traces.
In moments, when we are almost daily disputed by the statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina that jeopardize great-keeped aspirations from the east and west, we have a proposal for the decision we repeat yourself to ourselves.
I respect the character and work of Isa Bega Ishakovic who is our priceless important historical personality and I think that his work and contribution to Sarajevo needs to be marked, but not in a way to delete years of existence.
If you love this city and want well to generations that come, you will not allow such a proposal to be adopted, “Karić said.
