The President of the Republic of Croatia Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic will be staying in B&H from today until Saturday.
The Croatian President is the winner of the award of Isa-Bey Ishakovic for 2015, which will be presented to her today in Sarajevo. The award is being presented by the non-governmental organization “Klepsidra”, with the headquarters in the BH capital.
The association which was founded in 2005 with the aim of promoting multicultural and multiethnic heritage of B&H last year presented this award to the Slovenian President Borut Pahor, and in 2008 the winner was Stipe Mesic, the President of Croatia at that time. Among the former winners are also the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the President of Austria Heinz Fischer.
The award “Isa-Bey Ishakovic” was named after the Ottoman governor of Bosnia from the 15th century, who is considered one of the founders of Sarajevo as an urban center in that period.
The same day, Grabar-Kitarovic will meet with the Chairman and the members of the Presidency of B&H and with the Archbishop of Vrhbosna Cardinal Vinko Puljic in Sarajevo.
