We would like to thank Miša Marić for the donation of books that will enrich our school library with new titles.
It is safe to say that his home library, rich in titles that positively influenced his life and career, will find its way to readers and adorn the shelves of the library of the umbrella organization of Bosnian associations in Great Britain.
Mr. Marić also donated a beautiful painting that now adorns the walls of our Bosnian House in Birmingham.
