Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, Mayor Kisic, Assembly President Djapo, High Representative Petritsch, Ambassadors, Generals, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen…
Today is very special for Brcko. It is very special for me. The past year has been one of challenges, opportunities and achievements. I thank you for your presence here, which acknowledges this. Our program of activities today has reviewed the past year. More significantly, however, it highlights the way ahead for Brcko District. There is every reason to expect that this will be a good future for the people of Brcko District and, above all, for their children--who represent the real future of Brcko. The High Representative has put it just right: the recipe for Brcko's success is the willingness to cooperate for this better life. I join him in the fervent hope that we will see this spread across all of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Brcko is indeed a crossroads and a gateway--for and within Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a literal and symbolic bridge for the entire region and will surely promote the economic development of all concerned. As the Brcko Supervisor, let me thank all of you for being here for this important day and thank all who have worked with great dedication to the benefit of Brcko and all of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
