The State of Maryland, at the initiative of Governor Wes Moore, proclaimed March 1 last year as the Day of Friendship between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Maryland.
This proclamation honors the historic significance of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s declaration of independence on March 1, 1992, and highlights the strong partnership between the two communities, as stated on the website of the Council for Exchange of Maryland and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Recognizing the invaluable contributions of Bosnian-American citizens and the deep ties between our communities, Governor Wes Moore officially proclaimed March 1 as the Day of Bosnian Americans in Maryland.
On behalf of the Council for Exchange of Maryland and Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian-American community in Maryland, we express our deepest gratitude to Governor Wes Moore and his team for their unwavering support and commitment to fostering unity, cultural exchange, and international cooperation.
This proclamation stands as a powerful testament to our shared commitment to democracy, human rights, and the pursuit of peace and prosperity. We invite all residents of Maryland to join us in celebrating the Day of Bosnian Americans and honoring the rich heritage, resilience, and contributions of Bosnian Americans to our great state of Maryland and to the United States as a whole,” the council’s statement reads.
