On the occasion of the conflicts in the Holy Land, which have intensified in recent days, the Archbishop of Vrhbosna, Metropolitan Cardinal Vinko Puljic sent a message calling for an end to the conflict and a solution to the problem through dialogue.
“With great sadness and concern in recent days, I have been following the news from the Holy Land, where fierce armed conflicts between Palestinians and Israelis are taking place again. So many wounded and killed, in a special way children, leaves no one indifferent. All of us who have survived the horrors of war sufferings know very well that in the end there are no winners in the war and that everyone loses, that weapons do not solve problems, but that in this way only evil is multiplied. Open dialogue, the path of encounter forgiveness have no alternative. Only in this way can this evil be stopped. I ask Almighty God, the creator of all people, that those responsible, on both sides, and the entire international community find a just solution as soon as possible that will stop the suffering of innocents, especially so that peace and mutual trust can begin. “
