Sarajevo’s new mayor, Benjamina Karic, chose the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, as the destination of her first official visit after taking over the post.

“My first official visit to the Czech capital was an opportunity for a pleasant conversation with the mayor dr. Zdenek Hrib on cooperation between the capitals in various fields, as well as the opening of an exhibition of works of the excellent Czech builder and designer, Karlo Parzik,” Karic posted on social media.

She added that the cooperation between Sarajevo and Prague is based on historical ties, noting that Karlo Parzik gave Sarajevo and Prague many imposing buildings and architectural gems that are the common good of the citizens.
