The Vice President of the Alliance for a Better Future of BiH, Admir Čavka, said that the basic problem in BiH is not ethnonationalism but corruption. He said that BiH is the most corrupt country in the Balkans and third in Europe, and that the corruption is the biggest reason for young people to leave and the biggest obstacle for Euro-Atlantic integrations.

- According to the latest Eurostat report, BiH is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Only Albania is behind us. All these are the consequences of bad policies, bad leaders, bad statesmen who brought all the citizens of the state of BiH to this desperate situation - said Čavka.

Therefore, he adds, it is very important that the opposition finally acts compactly, that is, united. Only a united opposition can offer solutions to many problems in BiH, that is, it can solve the catastrophic situation.

- It is time that those who are responsible for the catastrophic situation in the country finally take responsibility for it. The economic and demographic collapse of the state is certain and incompetent politicians do not stop these trends. It is important to include in solving these problems politicians who do not just want constant conflicts with everyone, politicians who will be responsible for their work and will report to everyone in the country, not just to foreigners - pointed out Čavka.

We need leaders who will establish a functioning government in BiH that will fight corruption, that will attract investments and create conditions for young people. Those who stop BiH, says Čavka, are doing it to fill their own pockets.

- Our friends from the USA, together with Europe, are still determined to help BiH achieve reforms on the road to the EU and NATO membership. The countries of the former Yugoslavia are now among the four allies in NATO, while the two countries are members of the EU. Among the countries of the Western Balkans, they share the strategic goal of deeper integration with the West as aspirants to EU membership or are members of the EU. BiH must not allow itself to become a black hole in the region - concluded Čavka.
