Opening the 22nd International Fair of Economy in Mostar Tuesday, BiH Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik said, “When this event began 22 years ago, it was unthinkable that the fair could become this strong and noticeable.”
Numerous officials and representatives of the economy, sports, culture and religious leaders attended the ceremony, Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic among others. However, none of the Bosniak politicians were present.
Bosnian Croat leader and former member of the country’s presidency, Dragan Covic, said the absence of the Bosniaks was “a bad message,” adding that the relations within Bosnia are being challenged these days and that everybody needs to show they are getting better.
