The Prime Minister of Sarajevo Canton announced that he was resigning after young people took to the streets due to the tragic death of a young man and the serious suffering of a girl, stressing that the voice of young people is more important than the position he holds.
In an address in which he referred to the beginning of his mandate, the prime minister of the Sarajevo Canton recalled that at that time he emphasized young people and their future, not the past. He pointed out that it was the young people who now took to the streets, raised their voices and clearly communicated what they expected from the government.
He emphasized that since its foundation, Our Party has been calling on young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina to get involved and talk about the problems they face. According to him, the young people reacted because of the young man who died and the girl for whose recovery everyone is praying, but also against the Government itself, which he presides over. He said that the message of citizens, especially young people, is more important to him than his personal function, and that the choice between their courage and his own position is clear for him.
The Prime Minister stated that he does his job honorably and honestly, based on the belief that responsibility should be assumed even when the position is obtained and when assuming responsibility can restore confidence in the system. In this context, he announced his decision: today he is resigning from the post of Prime Minister of Sarajevo Canton.
He added that in the previous days he worked day and night, at the scene of the tragedy, in the hospital and in the Government, and emphasized that his colleagues in the Sarajevo Canton Government were no less affected by the tragedy and no less engaged. He announced that he will continue to do his best to find out the truth, take responsibility and restore faith in the system, which, as he points out, must be transparent, fair and safe.
He also referred to the atmosphere of mistrust in the country, where suspicion itself is often perceived as confirmation. In such circumstances, he believes that the debate on political responsibility gains additional weight. He told his colleagues from the opposition that the tragedy must not be an occasion for incitement, spreading untruths and political brokering, and expressed his regret that, according to him, they had chosen such a path.
He pointed out that, as the head of the government, he wants people all over Bosnia and Herzegovina to understand that they have the power to change, that the authorities listen and hear them, and that they will do everything to make the citizens perceive the system as their own house, whose fate they decide on an equal basis. In the end, he emphasized that he takes responsibility and does not run away from it, and that he will continue to lead the processes until a new prime minister of Sarajevo Canton is appointed, writes Klix.
