Representatives emphasize that this is an existential struggle rather than a political one. They have submitted formal demands to the Presidency of BiH, the Council of Ministers, and entity governments, calling for an immediate moratorium on restrictive EU residency rules for cabin crew.

Data indicates that 36% of road transport capacity is already paralyzed, directly threatening exports, budget revenues, and jobs.

"When 36% of capacity stops, the entire economy stops," the Plenum stated. Demanding full transparency, the Consortium insists that all future negotiations with institutions be held publicly. With over a million citizens expected to be informed of the crisis by March 10, the Plenum maintains that protests remain a legitimate measure to protect every family's right to work.
