Member
of the Presidency of BiH Dr Denis Bećirović said that peace, justice and
equality are particularly important for the future and progress of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and that returnee communities deserve stronger support from all
levels of government. He emphasized that it is very important for state
officials to spend more time among returnees and to provide support with their
presence to those who, despite numerous challenges, remain in their homes and
build a life in the communities from which they were expelled.
"Returnees are an important
part of the foundation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a multi-ethnic and
democratic state. Their struggle for a life in peace, dignity and security
deserves not only institutional but also human support," said Dr Bećirović.
According to the locals present,
this is the first time that a member of the Presidency of BiH has visited
Međeđa and Ustiprača and spoken to the locals.
Earlier, Dr Bećirović attended the
commemoration on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the crime known as the
"living bonfire" in the Bikavac settlement in Višegrad.
