For the last quarter-century since the citizens of BiH took their destiny into their own hands by voting for a sovereign and independent BiH, a state of equal citizens and peoples of Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats, as well as members of other nations that are living in it, as said in the congratulatory message of the member of the Presidency of BiH Bakir Izetbegovic.
“The independence that we chose asked for courage, determination, and perseverance. In the struggle for it, we have made great sacrifices and losses, while opposing aggression, stopping ethnic cleansing and genocide. Thus, the burden of responsibility we bear for future generations is a lot of harder, sacrifices that we had to make in the name of freedom and equality, sacrifices for our freedom that make us obliged to be persistent.
The future of our country is in the integration, connecting, understanding and joint efforts to leave a stable framework for progress to generations to come, to build a tolerant society in which dialogue and mutual respect will be the foundation of prosperity for everyone. We will build such future with all our strength because it is a debt we owe to the past and future generations.
I want to send my warmest congratulations on the Independence Day to all citizens of BiH, said Izetbegovic in his congratulatory message, as reported by the Department of Public Relations of the Presidency of BiH.
