The US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina organized a celebration of the 245th anniversary of the independence of the US via its Facebook page, Sunday evening.

In his address, US Ambassador Eric Nelson pointed out that the holiday is an opportunity to celebrate 25 years of partnership between the United States and BiH in the country, adding that this year marks an important moment in relations between the two countries – 25 anniversary since the USAID began providing assistance to BiH.
He emphasized that for the past 25 years the US have been investing in the institutions and training of BIH citizens who strive for a prosperous and democratic future based on the rule of law.
The Ambassador noted that BiH needs leaders to build trust, who in return need a strong base.
Speaking about the elections, Ambassador Nelson said that corrupt actors who exploit the election system and manipulate it for their own benefit rob citizens of the right to elect their own leaders and call those same leaders to account.
The United States will remain a steadfast partner to the leaders and citizens who are willing to tackle these problems and set BiH forward, US Ambassador Eric Nelson concluded.
