SARAJEVO: A former grand mufti of Bosnia’s Muslim community, Mustafa Ceric, said Thursday he would run for the presidency in October’s election.
“It is time for a unified state policy in the interest of all citizens,” Ceric told reporters announcing his candidacy for a post in Bosnia’s three-member presidency.
After the 1992-1995 inter-ethnic war in Bosnia, the country was divided into two semi-autonomous entities, linked with weak central institutions. One of them is Bosnia’s joint presidency, comprising representatives of the three main ethnic communities — Muslims, Serbs and Croats.
His support was often crucial for Muslim community’s political representatives in the elections.
