Gathered at this conference is an impressive body of specialist expertise in the oil and oil derivatives market. I will confine my remarks to a general overview of the market, and the issue of corruption.

Corruption is endemic in the BiH oil market, and steps must be taken to eliminate it. This market is potentially a source of signi [...]

I am pleased to be able, once again, to brief the Security Council on developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am particularly pleased to be doing so alongside the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Adnan Terzic. I think that innovation exemplifies the stage BiH has now reached, in which the International Community’s presence there needs to wor [...]

Zadovoljstvo je ponovno biti u Mostaru i Hercegovini!
Kako moje bh. kolege znaju, Mostaru sam u proteklih nekoliko mjeseci posvetio mnogo vremena budući da smo, zajedničkim naporima, započeli dugotrajan i težak proces ponovnog ujedinjavanja ovog divnog grada – proces koji je, točno prije mjesec dana, doveo do donošenja novog Statuta grada. [...]

I have come here this morning directly from a meeting with the Federation and State prime ministers and the leaders of the two parliaments. Tomorrow I will repeat the meeting with the Prime Minister and leadership of the RSNA in Banja Luka . The message that we in the International Community are trying to get across I believe is an important one [...]

The concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution may be new to Bosnia and Herzegovina but it has been used in many countries very successfully for years. It is a tool to circumvent the long waiting time required for the resolution of commercial court disputes, something this country urgently needs if it is to attract investment and promote economic gr [...]

Restructuring a country’s power sector – as I need hardly point out to most people in this room – is like renewing the foundations of a building, without disturbing the building’s stability or disrupting the activities in the building. It’s a mammoth task and it has to be undertaken with continuous reference to shifting political and economic reali [...]

Is there anyone here who doesn’t know this country better than international advisors? Do you really feel you need advice on how to improve services to your citizens? And do you need the International Community to decide all the key questions dealing with services to citizens? If, as I expect, the answer is no, then it is time for you to begin to [...]

First, let me say thank you to our host, the Tropic Holding Company. I am looking forward to hearing in some detail about the steps that were taken in order to create an effective management structure for this company of more than 400 employees.
This is an unusual gathering – at least in BiH – because we are here to talk about a subject tha [...]

We are gathered here in the cold of a Bosnian winter to bid farewell to our friend and colleague, Sven Frederiksen.
Sven’s warmth as a human being was one of his foremost qualities.
We could have done with that warmth today.
Sarajevo has seen more than its fair share of sadness as a city.
Sven devoted so much of his pro [...]

Gospodine predsjedniče, gospodine gradonačelniče, zastupnici, predstavnici Vlade Distrikta i sudstva, uvaženi gosti:
Prošlog ljeta mi je ponuđeno da preuzmem poziciju supervizora za Brčko. Što sam više saznavala o tome, o Konačnoj odluci i značajnim stvarima koje se ovdje dešavaju, time sam postajala više zainteresirana za ovu poziciju. Sada [...]
