Forum of Tuzla Citizens

I don't really have much to say about this organization, but since I like to shed light on activist groups and NGOs every now and again...
Here is some information about this NGO based in, as the title suggests, Tuzla.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that I agree wholeheartidly with their mission statement.


Forum of Tuzla Citizens (FTC) was founded in 1993 as a result of the need and determination to preserve Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole, independent and decentralised sovereign state regulated upon parliamentary democratic principles, within its historical and geo-political borders, recognised by the international community, so that no part of its territory can be considered a part of national territory by any of its nations, as well as an answer to the growth of nationalism in its own surrounding. FTC was founded by citizen-individuals, not by the representatives of political, national, religious, social or age groups. In that regard FTC is open to every citizen who cares for the preservation and development of the traditional democratic, urban, cultural and ethnic values of Tuzla and BiH as a multinational and a mullet-religious civic community.

Yes, this is the trick, grassroots.

I know a little more about this organisation but pressed for time...

As far as I know the Forum of Tuzla Citizens was set up by the Helsinki Citizens Assembly, also of Tuzla. The HCA is largely 'led' by Mary Kaldor. If you havent heard of her you should look up her writings on the former Yugoslavia - she has a principled approach, although you will find it differs from the more radical approach of say the Bosnian Institution and similar organisations.

They are one of the better pressure groups that take a bottom up approach to conflict (or anything really).

The Tuzla citizens forum is a moderate bottom up organisation that advocates citizenship approaches in solving the problems of BH. They support a unitary Bosnia but (as far as I know) seek a unitary Bosnia based on real equalities between ethnic groups rather than domination of one group by another.

That latter point is a lesser issue, or at least one not thought as important compared with the need of a unitary Bosnia, for organisations such as Bosnian Institute.

Its pretty to see from this whose approach I favour I suppose but as I've said before dont just take my word for it..

Thanks.
While, I don't agree with you that the Bosnian Institute is "radical", I have googled Mary Kaldor up; and I'm looking to read more papers & essays written by her.
