The Bosniak Civic Alliance (BGA) declared today that no single party possesses the monopoly over the Bosniak people as it once did, nor can any party independently manage all processes.

The BGA announced that their founding assembly took place yesterday in Rožaje, where it was reported that all necessary documentation for the registration of this political entity has been finalized, and the Program Principles and Statute have been ratified.

Additionally, the statement revealed that Seid Hadžić, a member of the Parliament of Montenegro, was unanimously elected as president and will represent the party until the upcoming Congress.

Hadžić is affiliated with the Europe Now Movement (PES) parliamentary group in the Parliament of Montenegro.

During the rally, several founding members of the party addressed the attendees, including Hadžić, long-serving councilor Aldin Muratović from the Petnjica Municipal Assembly, and physical therapy specialist Aldin Murić.

At the gathering, it was emphasized that this party stands for unity, stressing that the Bosniaks in Montenegro should not be weak or fragmented. They aspire to shape their future on the basis of a strong, disciplined, and hardworking community, alongside a politically mature society, as highlighted in the BGA statement.

The party asserts that promoting political maturity among the people cannot fall solely on one party anymore, and that fundamental changes are essential.

“No single party retains the monopoly over the Bosniak people that it once did, and none can handle all processes individually. However, it is not about dismantling others; this initiative aims at unification and shared success. The BGA is ready for cooperation, alliances, and dialogue with all parties, associations, social groups, and individuals committed to the stability and prosperity of all Montenegrin citizens. While mosques were being destroyed in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, Bosniaks were constructing a church in Rožaje. Therefore, we intend to assist every community in Montenegro in transitioning from narrow national to civic politics,” stated the BGA.

They express a goal of inheriting civic principles and commitments.

“We do not seek to lead the Bosniak community — we wish to advance alongside them. Our vision for the future of cities differs from others, so we will strive to provide our perspective on social progress. Partitocracy must no longer prevail. We need to stand with the citizens, offering concrete solutions and addressing every request they present to us,” concluded the BGA.
