REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA HERCEGOVINA
PARLIAMENT OF THE REPUBLIC
PRESIDENT
Sarajevo, 5th June 1995
Dear Sir/Madam,
You are probably already aware of the initiative of the transnational
Radical Party in support of the application by Bosnia-Hercegovina to join
the European Union. An international appeal in support of the application
has so far been signed by more than 80 members of the European Parliament,
by 170 deputies of various European national parliaments, and by leading
figures from the world of culture and science.
Your support for this appeal would help to persuade the governments of the
member countries of the European Union to take a position with regard to
the initiative, and would also represent a condemnation of the aggression
against the Republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina and the voice of conscience
against hatred and violence, in the awareness that this is not an ethnic or
religious war but a brutal attack on an independent, sovereign and
internationally recognized European country. The ferocious
Serbo-Montenegrin aggression and the invisible genocide which have been
carried out for over three years in Bosnia-Hercegovina are aimed at
destroying the whole Bosnian people and dividing Bosnia Hercegovina into
small ethnic countries.
We hope that you will not take a neutral position with regard to the
struggle between democracy and ultra-nationalism and fascism, between a
multi-ethnic and multi-religious concept and the idea of the single nation
and single religion.
Bosnia Hercegovina is fully aware of the principles on which the European
Union is founded, being itself a centuries-old model of multi-ethnic
society based on tolerance and the co-existence of peoples. In this sense
Europe, too, has a duty to uphold its own concept for Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Thus the membership of our country in the European Union would support a
multi-ethnic, multi-religious and democratic Bosnia-Hercegovina, a state in
which citizens are equal before the law whatever their ethnic, religious or
political roots, within its internationally recognized confines.
The deputies of the Parliament of the Republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina, and I
myself, give our unreserved support to this appeal.
In the hope that you will join us, and all the democratic forces in Europe,
in the front line of the struggle for a better and more human world, of
which the free, democratic, and intact Bosnia-Hercegovina will be a member,
I send you my best regards.
Yours faithfully,
Miro Lazovic
President of the Parliament of Bosnia-Hercegovina
