Bosnia and Herzegovina is firmly committed to the fundamental principles of the United Nations. We are aware of numerous global threats and challenges, which far exceed the capacities of any single country.

We believe that global challenges can only be answered through high-quality international cooperation, which implies an efficient and coordinated global response.

It is imperative to establish a strong multilateral system that ensures inclusiveness.

Only through joint work, solidarity and mutual respect can we create the world of security, justice and prosperity.

It is time for concrete actions that will ensure peace and stability for future generations.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is determined to contribute to global stability and prosperity.

A pact for the future is very necessary at the time when democracy and multilateralism are in crisis.

The United Nations should be more effective in preventing conflicts, building peace and fighting terrorism.

The painful experience of my country shows that the indecision of the UN, even in UN safe zones, leads to tragic consequences. One of the examples that speak of this is the genocide committed against Bosniaks in Srebrenica in 1995. Let's learn lessons from the past for the sake of a common future.

The character of today's challenges clearly identifies the path of our response.

That is why multilateralism is the best answer.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is committed to the global goals of stopping climate change.

We support the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its roadmap. We are actively working to improve policies in this area.

International peace and the affirmation of human rights are a prerequisite for progress.

Only by strengthening human rights can we build societies that are more resilient to conflicts, injustices and inequalities.

The UN represents a key organization for international cooperation and a platform for preventive diplomacy.

Diplomacy and dialogue are primary for the peaceful resolution of disputes and overcoming divisions, but also as a means of improving cooperation.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will persistently work to strengthen such a role of the UN.

The future belongs to the young generations.

I am personally vested in engaging young people, not as a symbolic inclusion, but as a concrete involvement in the shaping of policies at the national and global level.

We can draw inspiration for a more secure future from the UN Charter.

The pact for the future has enormous potential to reshape our multilateral system, ensuring concrete benefits for all.

Bosnia and Herzegovina fully supports the implementation of key proposals in the Pact.

I invite all of us to immediately begin the concrete and comprehensive implementation of the Pact for the Future adopted today.

I believe that the Summit of the Future: Multilateral Solutions for a Better Tomorrow opens a new chapter in the process of strengthening multilateralism, which we are all in need of.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is ready to cooperate with all the countries gathered at this Summit, in connection with the preservation of our planet and a safer future for new generations.

Thank you for your attention!
