(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, MAY 30 - Several thousand protesters participated today in Sarajevo in a demonstration against the government organized by the opposition under the slogan "No more silence!". The protesters' parade began 5 minutes to noon in the historic center of Sarajevo and then reached the Parliament building. The protesters wanted to show their discontent over the behavior of current rulers, postponement of elections, corruption, and numerous scandals. Bosnia is currently experiencing a period of "dumb dictatorship with three dictators," said Mirsad Hadzikadic, leader of the "Platform for Progress", the entity that organized the rally, referring to the three nationalist leaders, Serbian Milorad Dodik, Croatian Dragan Covic, and Muslim Bakir Izetbegovic. The SDP (Social Democratic Party), NiP (People and Justice), Nasa stranka (Our party) and NBL (Bosnian-Herzegovan independent list) joined the organizers. "Taking to the streets is the least we can do to counter the" Mostarization" of the whole country, said one of the protesters, referring to the fact that elections have not been held in the capital of Herzegovina since 2008.
