Bern, 28/06/2000 (Agence Europe) - Zlatko Lagumdzija, leader of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Social Democrat Party, in his speech to the roundtable on the fight against the far right organised in Bern by the European Socialist Party Presided by Rudolf Scharping, condemned the "triple nationalism" of the Bosnians, Croats and Serbs that afflicts his region. In the Sarajevo elections, he recalled my party presented at the top of its list a Serb (while the Serbs represent only 10% of the population) and it won 53% of the votes. Rudolph Scharping noted that no continent has had "as terrifying an experience" as Europe of what happens when we do not respect diversity, while the European Parliament's President of the Socialist group, Enrique Baron, felt that the basic values in the European building process must be "enshrined in a Constitution for a multicultural and multiethnic Europe." As for Heinz Fischer, Austrian Vice-President of the ESP, he spoke of "the chauvinism of the Welfare State" for those who are not ready to share the social protection they benefit from, and the "growing resentment against Brussels." Finally Anne Gaspard, from the Vienna Monitoring Centre for Racism and Xenophobia, underlined the positive role that can be played by the Charter of European parties against racism and xenophobia, which has 85 signatories including the ESP.
