Donald Trump congratulates BiH Statehood Day: "I urge your leaders to seize the opportunity"

In a letter addressed to the cabinet of the Chair of the Presidency, Zeljko Komsic, Trump extended his best wishes to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and urged the country’s leadership to work together toward local solutions that enjoy the support of all constituent peoples.

“As you honor this significant day, I urge your leaders to seize the current opportunity to work together to pursue local solutions that have the support of all constituent peoples. This will advance stability in the country and enable us to deepen our partnership based on shared interests and mutual prosperity,” the message reads.

The statement highlights the strategic importance President Trump places on strengthening the bilateral relationship between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina, anchored in stability, cooperation, and mutual benefit.

As Bosnia and Herzegovina prepares to mark Statehood Day with the ceremonial raising of the national flag on Sarajevo’s Hum hill Tuesday, the congratulatory message underscores the international dimension of the occasion and the call for domestic political actors to make constructive progress.
