"It was with sadness that I received the news of the passing of Emin Švrakić, the founder and commander of the Green Beret unit, a proven patriot and fighter.

Emin Švrakić proved the loyalty to his
country and selflessly advocated for an independent, sovereign and unified
Bosnia and Herzegovina. He left an indelible mark in the recent history of our
homeland, as a man who was a determined fighter for our state.
The deeds of Emin Švrakić will forever
live in the memories of all people who love Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I extend my sincere condolences to the
family, comrades and friends.
In this difficult moment, I wish the
family piece, and eternal peace to Emin Švrakić!"
