The Day of Registrars was marked in Sarajevo yesterday, with the aim of pointing to the significance of this profession and the registry office in BiH. Registrars are people who record all life situations and changes in the life of citizens, from the moment of birth until the moment of death. There are over 450 registrars in the FBiH.
A new Law on Registry Office, harmonized with the European directives, became effective in 2012. This law recognized the significance of registrars as people with special authorizations and responsibilities.
Significant public administration reform has been implemented in the registry office of BiH lately. Citizens’ states and safety of documents were arranged, and conditions for faster and easier obtaining of personal documents were improved.
„Registrars are in contact with citizens every day. They attend the happiest and the saddest moments in lives of citizens, the registration of the birth of their child, as well as the registration of death, they attend the most solemn and the most significant moments in the lives of people – during weddings, and they do all other jobs where they help people in the process of adoption, taking care of orphans, the reduction of statelessness, fight against legal invisibility and numerous other occasions,“ said Edina Đapo, Assistant to the federal Minister of Internal Affairs.
The wedding moment brings along a great thrill and, when it comes to nervousness, a registrar from Goražde Emira Djana said that men are in the lead with their reactions.
„If you could only see all that nervousness… Men are worse than women. Their hands shake, they sweat, I even thought that one man will faint. Then I try my best to relax them,“ Djana said.
Djana added that men are nowadays much more tolerant and fair towards women and that women can be a lot more dominant and aggressive. Furthermore, she said that people mostly marry in their thirties, and differences in age are not rare. The age difference is mostly up to ten years, very rarely above 15 years.
Remembering some of the anecdotes, Djana said that she recently wed a man who was born in 1932, with a woman who is 18 years younger than him.
