UN's Guterres congratulates Bosnia's Independence Day to Chairwoman Cvijanovic

"National celebration also offers moments to reflect on shared global challenges. The international community faces a growing list of tests that require multilateral solutions - from the climate crisis, to conflicts, to rising inequalities. That is precisely the spirit of the Pact for the Future. Adopted last year by the UN General Assembly, this landmark measure is rooted in the imperative to strengthen multilateralism and advance peace, sustainable development and human rights for all," Guterres wrote in his note.

He said he was pleased to convey his best wishes to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina "on this special day".

The Independence Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina is observed on March 1, in memory of the 1992 referendum, when majority of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina voted for independence from the former Yugoslavia.
