The number of Peace Support Operations has increased – in tandem with the number of humanitarian interventions – and th [...]

Let me start by dispelling a myth. If you look beyond Bosnia and Herzegovina’s recent past and examine the historical record as a whole, you will see that what distinguishes this country is tolerance and peace among its peoples, not conflict. Tolerance and peace have been the norm; conflict has been the aberration. The truth is that Bosnia and Her [...]

Poštovani gradonačelniče, predsjedniče Skupštine, članovi prošle i nove Vlade, i svi vi koji ste se danas okupili ovdje ovom prilikom.

Nova godina je vrijeme kada ocjenjujemo ono što smo uradili u godini koja je prošla i analiziramo zadatke koji nas čekaju u narednoj. 2004. godina bila je godina pravih postignuća. 2005. će biti godina historijskih prilika i velikih izazova.

I would like to focus on three of the changes that [...]

You won’t find anyone, prepared to stand up and say they support corruption. Everyone wants to be on record as a honest hardworking member of society against it, and in support of the fight against corruption. Unfortunately, you can’t fight corruption with words, takes deads. The only way to tackle corruption effectively, in BiH or in my country, [...]

The Food and Agriculture Organisation has completed its inventory of land resources in BiH and produced a manual that brings together a variety of useful and pertinent data, including academic studies and detailed maps. This exercise has revealed clear structural problems in the way land is utilized in BiH. The average farm size is well below th [...]

We are at the beginning of something. It might be exciting; it will certainly be difficult; I’m pretty sure it will be interesting. All of you have been elected. You have a popular mandate. You have, in an utterly new sense, power. How you use that power will determine the future of this country.

It is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to address you at this event, which is important for the future development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are here today to analysze and build on the significant achievements made by the non-governmental sector in recent years. The NGO Coalition “To Work and Succeed Together” has managed to do [...]

I am particularly pleased to be here, for two reasons The first is that we are here at BH Steel. This is a company that has been through a great deal – as has (we shouldn’t forget) every steel company in the world over the last 15 years – but which now has the prospect of turning its fortunes around. It can do this through a combination of BiH eng [...]
