    The Chairman of the B-H Presidency Sulejman Tihic with the B-H Diaspora in Belgium and a speech at the European College in Bruges 8.3.2006 0:00:00 The Chairman of the B-H Presidency Sulejman Tihic is in his third day’s visit to the Kingdom of Belgium. Last night, March 7, in organization of the B-H embassy in Belgium and Ambassador Sven Alkalaj, a reception was held in honour of Sulejman Tihic, the Chairman of the B-H Presidency in the Hotel de Ville de Bruxelles, Grand Place. The reception was attended by representatives of the diplomatic corps of EU, NATO, officials of the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and others. The Chairman of the B-H Presidency met yesterday with representatives of the Bosnia- Herzegovina’s Belgian Association of the B-H Diaspora in Belgium. Chairman Tihic was informed about this Association’s work, which is one of the most active associations of our Diaspora in Europe. The fact that it was an organizer and a host of the World Diaspora Championship in Indoor Soccer for the third time serves as an example. The Chairman of the B-H Presidency was also presented with their magazine Bosancica, which regularly writes about the life and work of the B-H citizens in Belgium. Sulejman Tihic, the Chairman of the B-H Presidency, expressed his pleasure with meeting the B-H citizens in Belgium and said that this visit to the Kingdom of Belgium represented the relations enhancement between B-H and Belgium. Today, Sulejman Tihic, the Chairman of the B-H Presidency has addressed the students of the European College in Bruges (College of Europe) on the subject of Bosnia-Herzegovina – ten years after Dayton, on its way toward Brussels, and afterwards with Paul Demaret, the College president.

American businesses, including Kansas companies, responded to a call from Senator Dole and the National Retail Federation last month by donating hundreds of thousands of dollars of the goods needed most by the Bosnian people. The contributions, from large and small retailers, include medical supplies, shoes, children's clothing and children's toys. Senator Dole personally delivered the first of the supplies to a hospital in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo on June 5th. Due to the volume of supplies donated, the bulk was later transported from America to Zagreb, Croatia by the U.S. Air Force and from there to Sarajevo by United Nations aircraft. The supplies are now being distributed in Bosnia by private humanitarian relief agencies. "These businesses have demonstrated that there's a lot of heart in America's heartland for the war-weary people of Bosnia," Dole said. "One visit to Sarajevo, and you can see how this kind of aid can make a real difference in the lives of innocent people victimized by brutal aggression.

    Sven Alkalaj Curriculum Vitae Short On 08 March 2012, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment of Mr. Sven Alkalaj of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the new Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Prior to taking up his current assignment, Sven Alkalaj served as Foreign Affairs Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2007 to 2012.

Earlier in his career, Mr Alkalaj successively held the position of Ambassador to the United States of America, the Organisation of American States (OAS), the Kingdom of Belgium and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). During this time, Ambassador Alkalaj actively participated in two historic negotiations: the Washington Agreement and the Dayton Peace Accords which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ambassador Alkalaj played a key role in the post-war reconstruction of his country, led by UN, World Bank, IMF and EU. Prior to his ambassadorial work, Sven Alkalaj enjoyed a successful career in the private sector as managing Director of a multinational engineering company. He successfully negotiated numerous multi-million dollar contracts in the fields of energy, mechanical and process technology, oil, environmental protection and water utilities.

  • BOSNIA and Herzegovinay Trends in Conflict and Cooperation
    Bosnia and Herzegovina | No 4 | July to August 2007 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA| Trends in Conflict and Cooperation Incoming High Representative Miroslav Lajcak took up office on July 1 and was greeted by a continuation of the stalemate that has marked Bosnia-Herzegovina’s domestic politics since the Cooperative and conflictive domestic events (relative) general election of October 2006. As the adjacent graph shows, domestic conflictive events continued to outnumber domestic cooperative events during the reporting period. Under Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, who is very popular among Bosnian Serbs, the Republika Srpska (RS) has been refusing to give up control over its police force even though the removal of Bosnia’s various police forces from political control is at the center of reforms needed for closer ties with the European Union. Bosnia has concluded technical talks on a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with Brussels but has been unable to sign the SAA because of its failure to pass the required reforms (including police reform). RS’ insistence on Source: FAST event data keeping its own force prompted the two largest Bosniak parties to reject the latest police reform proposals at the end of August. During July and August, Dodik’s paramount goal is still to preserve all the prerogatives given to Bosnia’s two entities – the RS and the Bosniak-Croat Federation – under the 1995 Dayton peace accords. This caused problems with Bosniak representative on Bosnia’s three-member presidency, Haris Silajdzic who advocates a unified state without entities. Dodik’s threats to seek a referendum on independence for RS in case the nominally Serbian province of Kosovo gains independence (as foreseen under a UN-sponsored plan) prompted Lajcak’s office (OHR) to issue a harshly-worded statement that activities running counter to the Dayton accords would not be tolerated.

Therefore Slovakia - celebrating this year its 5th year of membership in NATO and EU, fully supports this integration efforts, since it itself experienced all benefits of integration as well as opposites being excluded from the integration process – is willing to transfer its own knowledge and experiences as well as other new member states to other countries to help them avoid mistakes and accelerate their progress.
