PETITION
Regarding the announcement of the rules for the election of the governing
officials by the Temporary Election Committee of the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), first in the city of Mostar,
and shortly after in all of Bosnia-Herzegovina, we strongly demand that
the elections be postponed until the return of all Bosnian refugees to
their homes is completed. If the elections go on as planned by the OSCE
Temporary Election Committee and its leader Mr. Robert Frowick, we know
that the result would be the destruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina as an
independent country and the refugees, who were the vicims of the genocide
and ethnic cleansing, never would be allowed to return to their homes.
Having seen the previous performance of our government and its
readiness to cave in under pressure, we are justifiably concerned
about its future actions. No one, much less the highest officials of
the government of Bosnia-Herzegovina, has the right to take
actions which will lead to the destruction of our homeland, and your
participation in these elections would mean the capitulation of our
country.
We have been the victims of genocide committed by the enemies of our
country, and the wounds inflicted on us are still fresh and will
never fully heal. Because of the wounds inflicted on us and in honor
of those Bosnians who died for our homeland, we insist that you don't
hold the elections in Mostar and other parts of the country until
we are allowed to participate in them at HOME.
The refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, dispersed in 127 countries
all over the world, are living through the nightmare of slaughter and
genocide inflicted on them by the latest form of fascism. Your
participation in the elections before refugees return to their homes
would put you in the same class with those who committed genocide on
our people, as you would be killing our country. Don't be
participants in the genocide of your own people and country. Don't
you kill us too!
If you, the top officials of the government, decide not to listen to our
voice, we hope that our brothers and sisters at home, as well as any
patriots of an undivided Bosnia-Herzegovina, will. By boycotting these
elections, we will show the creators of the Dayton agreement, which is
immoral and every day adjusted to accommodate our enemies, that we are a
people with dignity and that we are aware of the scheme against us.
LONG LIVE UNDIVIDED BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA.

All of you who would like to support the right of the Bosnian refugees to
return to their homes, please join the petition by sending an e-mail
reply.
Sorry, I didn't read all of that due to lack of time.
Do you think you just just highlight the bits that were about UK radio
and re-post it?
Thanks.
