Potraga Mirsada Hadžikadića za promjenama i pozicijom člana Predsjedništva u njegovoj domovini Bosni i Hercegovini
Odluku da se kandiduje za predsjednika Bosne i Hercegovine Mirsad nije donio olako. Nakon savjetovanja s mnogima, što uključuje porodicu, prijatelje i saradnike iz Sjedinjenih Država kao i Bosne i Hercegovine, postignut je opšti konsenzus da se to ne može izvesti. Ali kao osoba koju je nemoguće odvratiti, on je ipak odlučio da se kandiduje. To je značilo ostaviti suprugu s kojom je u braku skoro 42 godine, kao i dvoje odrasle djece i unučad u Charlotteu u Sjevernoj Karolini, te brojne kolege i poslovne saradnike. Uz to on uzima studijski dopust na Univerzitetu Sjeverne Karoline u Charlotteu, gdje je profesor više od 30 godina. Razgovarali smo o njegovoj odluci i njegovim realnim ambicijama glede ulaska u ovo najnovije poglavlje njegove istaknute karijere i o aktuelnom razvoju tih ambicija.
