The recent meeting of the presidency of the Platform for Progress has set a well defined course for 2022 and the general elections. This includes the formation of a coalition, which will bring other parties into fold in a united effort, as well as the selection and naming of candidates. The president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, says he feels they have definitely righted the ship following the internal strife that caused so much chaos and discord earlier in the year.  And as a result, the Platform is well positioned now to embark on the 2022 elections.

On Saturday, November 6th, the congress of the Platform for progress convened and adopted a new set of bylaws.  Something the president of the Platform, Mirsad Hadžikadić, said was much overdue and has positioned the organization to participate much better in political life moving forward. Hadžikadić told me in addition, the much-delayed gathering of the convention took place on that same day, taking a huge step in addressing the internal strife that manifested itself earlier in the year and has put the Platform in a much better place as it prepares for the 2022 general elections.

He said it is very unnerving and disheartening to see the current state of affairs. Though he says this is common in the year leading up to a general election. Fear, as he says, is a powerful tool for the ruling nationalist parties.
