Swiss Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina Daniel Hunn received a delegation of non-governmental organizations, the Council of the Congress of Bosniak Intellectuals (VKBI), the Croat National Council (HNV), the Serb Civic Council (SGV) and the 1990 B&H Parliamentarians Forum at his residence in Sarajevo.

The delegation consisted of Miro Lazović (Forum of the Parliamentarians), prof. dr. Ivo Komšić (HNV), prof. dr. Lada Sadiković (VKBI), Živko Radišić (SGV) and mr. sc. Emir Zlatar, the NGOs Coordinator.

During a long conversation, the NGO delegation informed Ambassador Hunn in detail about the activities of non-governmental organizations related to the current social and political situation in B&H and presented Principles for Amendments to the BiH Constitution and presented him the document 'Open Issues to International Officials', with a plea to brief Swiss officials as well as colleagues in the diplomatic corps in B&H with these materials within his capacity.

The NGO delegation informed Ambassador Hunn that almost 25,000 citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina supported the Principles for Amendments to the B&H Constitution through the web portal www.izmjeneustava.com and that this was the first survey of B&H citizens on the constitutional position of B&H since the referendum of March 1, 1992.

Ambassador Hunn emphasized the importance and role of civil society organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially from the aspect of involvement in all important social processes, and that it is very important to hear the voice of the civil sector and the citizens of B&H.

The peculiarity of this activity is the fact that this initiative includes representatives of all ethnic groups in B&H whose voice on the issue of the future of B&H is unique and clear.
