Members of the Presidency of BiH Dragan Čović and Bakir Izetbegović hosted the last night’s reception on the occasion of the March 1, the Independence Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The reception was attended by numerous representatives of the public life, accentuating the importance of March 1 in the BiH history.
Addressing the attendees, the Chairman Čović said that, 24 years since obtaining independence, BiH still endures under punches, that it is a vulnerable social community jeopardized from all sides, but that everyone must work together for a better tomorrow.
Moreover, Čović said that the absence of the third member of the BiH Presidency does not diminish the significance of March 1.
Speaking of the past, Čović said that there are at least three versions of what happened, but that the vision must be one – unity.
BiH Presidency Bakir Izetbegović said that BiH has made a huge step forward towards the European Union and that the economic parameters indicate progress, just not as much so as the citizens would notice it right now.
“There is more to March 1, 2015 than there was in 2015. I am an optimist because many people love this country. The war divided us 24 years ago, but the great majority wants the same – perspective and future for its children. The day will come when we will all celebrate this holiday,” Izetbegović said.
