[email protected] Sarajevo holds, by many aspects, a very special place in European history. In the year 1914, Sarajevo became the symbol of the beginning of the First World War. One hundred years later, when the world is getting ready to commemorate this first global conflict, BH and EU partners wish to bring Sarajevo into the spotlight again, but this time with a global message of peace. Unity in diversity, which is the motto of modern Europe, is truly the very fundament of the centuries-old Bosnia and Herzegovina. Throughout 2014, Sarajevo will host cultural, sport, and educational events, with the aim of peace promotion, communication and cohesion, as the majority of this city's population is young, full of energy, and ready for the next step forward.
