1. The Citizens’ Alternative Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina considers that PEACE is the main prerequisite and principle of all of the future activities - both of the domestic and foreign actors on our political scene. Any violation of this principle should be punished by the international community by automatic elimination from the political life.

2. The main political objective of the Citizens’ Alternative Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the guarantee for stabile peace is to establish Bosnia and Herzegovina as a composite de-centralized democratic State-Republic of all of its citizens, found on the principles of parliamentary democracy, independence, territorial integrity, sovereignty, the rule of law and social state, as well as the respect of human rights and freedoms according to the Projects of the European political integration.

3. The establishment of civil society is not just a special sphere, but unconditional and permanent historical basis of every democratic society and democratic state. The actors of the Citizens’ Alternative Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina consider that the political aims of the constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a democratic State-Republic with the rule of law and Bosnian and Herzegovinian civil society are two reciprocal historical aims, dependent on each other. Also “civil” aspects of the implementation of the Dayton and Paris peace treaty mean classical determination of the “civil society” including the recovery of economy, return of refugees, as well as the war crimes trial and elections.

Hence, some possible serious tasks of the actors of the civil society in Bosnia and Herzegovina come - the tasks that on the one hand determine the identity of a “citizen” as a human being and individual who exists within the context of complex social connections, but also of a citizen in political sense, the one who belongs to this and not some other country and deliberately wants a democratic country where the law rules. The country which guarantees equal rights both to him and to all other citizens, regardless of their specific sexual, social, political, religious and national identities, but which gives also some specific and completely concrete and unambiguous constitutional and lawful guarantee just for those rights and freedoms of a man and citizen that originate from these concrete and not some abstract and collective identities of the man and citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We, the actors of the civil society, consider that the best sides of liberal and social democracy can be met here.
