Mirsad and his campaign team have been canvassing the country since the beginning of June, estimating they have visited a minimum of 30 towns and cities as he shares his vision of change and hope at town hall meetings, colleges and universities, local businesses, the small quaint corner cafés and even the homes of some who have invited him to rest his feet, sit and share. The days leading up to the official start of the presidential campaign on September 7th have been no different than many of the others, often times long and grueling as he tries to meet with as many citizens as possible in the 24 hours he is given to work with on a daily basis. The personal rewards are many as he sees the faces of those hearing his message for the first time light up as the energy of the moment ignites their vision of what really could be. Mirsad spoke with me about his recent travels that included a face-off or debate as known in U.S. politics, more stops at town hall meetings, a memorable unplanned gathering, and yes his participation in a youth basketball tournament, literally risking life and limb for the sake of saying he did.
Odbrojavanje dana do zvaničnog početka predsjedničke kampanje u Bosni i Hercegovini koja će uskoro početi za Mirsada Hadžikadića i ostale kandidate
Mirsad i njegov tim za kampanju obilaze zemlju od početka juna, procjenjujući da su posjetili najmanje 30 gradova, gdje je on širio svoju viziju promjena i nade na javnim tribinama, fakultetima i univerzitetima, u lokalnim kompanijama, malim lokalnim kafićima, pa čak i u kućama nekih koji su ga pozvali da odmori noge, sjedne i razgovara. Dani do zvaničnog početka predsjedničke kampanje 7. septembra nisu se razlikovali, često dugi i naporni jer se on pokušao sastati sa što većim brojem građana u roku od 24 sata koliko jedan dan ima. Osjeća se nagrađeno kada vidi kako se lica onih koji čuju njegovu poruku po prvi put ozare dok energija tog trenutka zapaljuje njihovu viziju onoga što bi se moglo desiti. Mirsad je razgovarao sa mnom o svojim nedavnim putovanjima koja su uključivala sučeljavanje koje je u američkoj politici poznato kao debata, seriji javnih tribina, jedno nezaboravno spontano okupljanje, kao i njegovo učešće na omladinskom košarkaškom turniru gdje je bukvalno rizikovao život i udove kako bi mogao reći da je učestvovao.
