A plenum formed by representatives of protesters’ plena throughout the Federation gathered yesterday in front of the Federation government building in Sarajevo to demand the resignation of the entity’s government.
The plenum also demanded that all current privatization processes be stopped and that all privatizations conducted so far be reviewed.
“We have gathered here to peacefully express our protest,” said one protester using a megaphone. “These demands are… priority questions, which concern the basic needs of us all.”
She added that the demand for the Federation entity government to go was previously adopted by all the other plenums working in several towns in the entity.
Other demands were that all charges made against participants in street protests should be dropped and that the officials be stripped of various perks, including receiving a salary for a year after their term in office ends.
The authorities were also told to change the law on taxes, so that citizens pay taxes in accordance with their wealth, and that taxes on basic groceries be abolished.
The entity government was not present at the time of the demonstration, but was holding a session in Mostar.
