Petition is addressed to: EU Parlament, White house Washington DC USA

We demand the right of national declaration as A Bosnian (male and female)

Reason

In post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina, pre-prescribed ethnic categories (Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats) were granted all political rights. At the same time, these rights are denied to all other citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are also classified in the category of "others". [1], [2], [3]
 
Bosnians demand
*introduction of the official name in the census in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosnian
*the right of every member of the Bosnian nation to elect and be elected for all functions, including the President of the   state
*Bosnia and Herzegovina one constituency
Therefore, we invite you to strengthen the foundation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with your signature
