“I am happy to be a part of this gathering. I am the person who came with my sick sister in a medical evacuation on August 15, 1993. Because of the war, my sister could not be given medical care. Until August 15, I worked as a pediatrician in the city.
By coming here, I left everything, my career, my family, my old mother and everything. I do not like to talk about those details at all, considering that the time spent in the war, without food and without water, electricity and heating is something that no one can understand who has not lived through it. You never know when you go to work, whether you will return home alive.
In that medical evacuation group, 21 medical evacuees arrived, to whom this country gave refuge and I thank them very much. They provided them with medical assistance, a roof over their heads and a safe place to live.
That’s why I’m asking on behalf of Bosnians and Herzegovinians, and on my own behalf, that this country helps as much as it can so that another war does not happen in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that peace remains because I grew up regardless of whether someone is Muslim, Catholic or Serbian.
We all lived in harmony and in good time, and for me, this is all terrible, what is happening after the war, and especially in recent years. Thank you to everyone who came to support this gathering. “
