From the 1st to the 15 October, Bosnia is conducting its first census since 1991. The event is politically charged as it will result in changes to the governmental structure of the country. The 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement gave Bosnia's "constituent peoples" a right to a proportionate number of governmental positions. Those officially recognized included Bosniak Muslims, Serbs, and Croats. Religious and political leaders of all three groups have urged their ethnic groups to take part in the survey, but many fear their sides being spit by people referring to themselves as "Bosnian" interchangeably with "constituent" ethnicity. The event will also allow for the first official census in areas like Srebrenica where an estimated 8000 Bosniaks lost their lives. Joining host John Rees to discuss this is Massoud Shadjareh, President of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, by phone Mustafa Ceric, Grand Mufti of Bosnia and President of the World Bosnika Congress, also by phone Kemal Pervanic, Human Rights Activist and a survivor of Omarska concentration camp, and by Skype Darko Brkan, Founder of the Zasto ne (Why Not) campaign.
