The Chairperson of the Council of Ministers, Borjana Krišto, said at the traditional Christmas reception in Sarajevo that this gathering is a message of peace and advocacy for a peaceful, dignified and happy life for every individual in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Christmas is the time when our hearts are filled with warmth and when we feel the closeness of our loved ones and in a special way we feel the strength of togetherness,” said Kristo.
She expressed her belief that everyone here, regardless of religion and nation, carries within them the desire to do good, to have tolerance and mutual respect.
“This is an opportunity for all of us to correct our intentions and actions towards others in order to continue working in the service of the common good,” said Kristo.
She emphasized that this is especially important for BiH, which is “rewarded with diversity”.
“We especially sympathize with those who are torn from the warmth of their homes, with those who die innocently, with the hungry and sick,” said Kristo, who hosts the reception.
Finally, she was wished a happy and successful year 2024.
