???? PREDSTAVNICI BOSANSKOHERCEGOVA?KE DIJASPORE U KANADI POSJETILI AMBASADU BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE U OTAVI — 24. 06. 2024. — Institut za istraživanje genocida Kanada — PRIOP?ENJE Ambasada Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadi je ku?a svih Bosanaca i Hercegovaca. Predstavnici bosanskohercegova?ke dijaspore u Kanadi posjetili Ambasadu Bosne i Hercegovine u Otavi. Istaknuta je važnost uloge bosanskohercegova?ke dijaspore u Kanadi u ostvarenju zajedni?ke vizije za budu?nost Bosne i Hercegovine. Delegaciju bosanskohercegova?ke dijaspore u Kanadi je primila savjetnica Daniela ?oli?. Bosanskohercegova?ka dijaspora je posve?ena Bosni i Hercegovini. Ambasada Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadi je pozvana da iskoristi ekonomski, akademski i kulturni potencijal dijaspore kako bismo unaprijedili odnose izme?u Bosne i Hercegovine i Kanade. Javnosti nije nepoznato, pisali su i mediji o tome prošle godine, da je Ambasada Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadi bila duži vremenski period bez uposlenih iz Ministarstva vanjskih poslova Bosne i Hercegovine te da je rad Konzularnog odjela posebno bio otežan i da gra?ani Bosne i Hercegovine nisu mogli dobiti uslugu niti ostvariti svoja gra?anska prava koja im diplomatsko konzularna predstavništva Bosne i Hercegovine omogu?avaju u zemljama u kojima žive. Time su ustvari i oni sami najviše i osjetili zna?aj podrške bosanskohercegova?kih institucija. Upu?ivanjem iz Ministarstva vanjskih poslova Bosne i Hercegovine savjetnice Daniele ?oli?, dugogodišnjeg karijernog i profesionalnog diplomate s iskustvom na sre?u svih gra?ana Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadi oni sada imaju redovnu konzularnu uslugu, riješili su svoje zaostale predmete, imaju sve odgovore na upite u roku od 24 sata i, što je najvažnije, iz Ambasade izlaze zadovoljni pozitivnom atmosferom koju su osjetili tokom boravkau njoj. Takore?i ovaj segment rada je sada u punom kapacitetu i funkciji. Savjetnica Daniela kaže da je njena ku?a Sarajevo koje jako voli, a da je Ambasada ku?a svih Bosanaca i Hercegovaca bez obzira na nacionalnu pripadnost i da ?e svi dobiti savjet i uslugu. Samo ovakvim pristupom poslu i odgovornosti, patriotskim odnosom prema svojoj državi, Bosni i Hercegovini, može i mora imati najbolju sliku u svijetu, jer ona to i zaslužuje. Predstavnici bosanskohercegova?ke dijaspore su potencirali pitanja od interesa za bosanskohercegova?ke gra?ane u Kanadi, kao što su bileteralni sporazumi izme?u dvije države, izrada udžbenika za nastavu na maternjem jeziku za djecu u dijaspori, razmjeni studenata, saradnji fakulteta, otvaranju Ambasade Kanade u Sarajevu, aktiviranje Kluba prijatelja Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadskom parlamentu, oragnizovanju dana Bosne i Hercegovine u Ambasadi. U ime bosanskohercegova?ke dijaspore Emir Rami? se zahvalio savjetnici Danieli ?oli? na do sadašnjem veoma uspješnom radu. Rami? je konstatovao da ?e dijaspora i dalje biti pokreta? razvoja odnosa izme?u Bosne i Hercegovine i Kanade i ?inilac promjene imidža Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadi. Dijaspora ?e nastaviti kontinuitet promicanja bosanskohercegova?ke historije, kulture, tradicije u kanadskom Kulturnom mozaiku. Dijaspora u Kanadi ima sve ve?i zna?aj i kao takva je svojevrsni ambasador bosanskohercegova?kih vrijednosti u Kanadi što pozitivno utje?e na imidž Bosne i Hercegovine u Kanadi. Bosna i Hercegovina svojom raznolikoš?u oboga?uje višeslojnu kanadsku kulturu i identitet.
