Ambassador Casey said “After 19 years in ‘temporary’ accommodation, it’s great to finally be in a single, purpose-built, Embassy building. The fact that we are doing this at a time of tough restrictions in public spending in the United Kingdom underlines that the UK is firmly committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina for the long term.”
In 1994, a “British Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina” was established in a small villa in Tina Ujevica street. In 1997 it became the British Embassy to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it subsequently expanded to a second building in Petrakijina street.
For the first time the Embassy will now provide all of its services from a single location in modern and purpose-built premises.
