PREDSJEDNIŠTVO BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE Predsjedavaju?i Predsjedništva Bosne i Hercegovine Dr. Denis Be?irovi? Sarajevo, 27. juni 2024. godine Poštovani prisutni na Centralnoj kanadskoj komemoraciji povodom 11. jula, Me?unarodnog dana sje?anja na genocid u Srebrenici. Upu?ujem vam najtoplije pozdrave iz Bosne I Hercegovine. Želim vam re?i da smo ponosni na vašu borbu za istinu i pravdu, te predstavljanje naše kulture i tradicije u Kanadi. Posebna zahvalnost, u ime gra?ana Bosne i Hercegovine, želim iskazati našim kanadskim prijateljima, koji su devedesetih godina prošloga stolje?a otvorili vrata svojih domova i prihvatili izbjeglice iz naše zemlje. Kao jedna od najbolje integrisanih zajednica, mi smo znali zahvaliti našim prijateljima, daju?i važan doprinos izgradnji multikulturalnog kanadskog društva. Dozvolite mi da se u ime gra?ana Bosne i Hercegovine, u svojstvu predsjedavaju?eg Predsjedništva BiH zahvalim Kanadi i narodu Kanade na podršci Bosni i Hercegovini, posebno za predano njegovanje kulture sje?anja na genocid nad Bošnjacima u Srebrenici. Bosna i Hercegovina izuzetno poštuje doprinos Kanade kulturi sje?anja na genocid u Srebrenici. Posebno poštujemo ?injenicu da je Kanadski parlament jednoglasno usvojio Rezoluciju kojom je priznat genocid i ustanovljen Dan sje?anja na genocid u Srebrenici u Kanadi. Kanadski parlament je jednoglasno usvojio historijski prijedlog da se mjesec april prizna kao mjesec sje?anja, osude i prevencije genocida i priznao po?injene genocide, uklju?uju?i genocid u Srebrenici. ?lanovi Kanadskog parlamenta su podnijeli parlamentarnu peticiju pozivaju?i Kanadsku vladu da donese zakon koji bi zabranio negiranje genocida u Srebrenici. Ove godine Kanada se pridružila listi sponzora Rezolucije Generalne skupštine Ujedinjenih nacija kojom je 11. juli proglašen Me?unarodnim danom sje?anja na genocid u Srebrenici 1995. godine. Zahvaljujem se bosanskohercegova?kim organizacijama i zajednicama u Kanadi na kontinuiranom radu na planu kulture sje?anja. Posebno se zahvaljujem Institutu za istraživanje genocida Kanada na ogromnom doprinosu u širenju istine o genocidu u Srebrenici i pravde za žrtve strašnog zlo?ina. Neka ova Centralna Kanadska komemoracija povodom 11. jula Me?unarodnog dana sje?anja na genocid u Srebrenici bude doprinos našoj zajedni?koj borbi za istinu i pravdu, ali i podsje?anje na našu obavezu da ?uvamo i ja?amo kulturu sje?anja na genocid u Srebrenici. Neka nam je vje?na slobodna, nezavisna i cjelovita, multikulturalna Bosna i Hercegovina. Dr. Denis Be?irovi? Organizacioni odbor za Centralnu kanadsku komemoraciju 29. godišnjice od genocida u Srebrenici PRESIDENCY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina dr. Denis Becirovic Sarajevo, June 27, 2024 Distinguished attendees at the Central Canadian Commemoration July 11. International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica. I send you the warmest greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I want to tell you that we are proud of your fight for truth and justice, and the representation of our culture and tradition in Canada. On behalf of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I would like to express my special gratitude to our Canadian friends, who in the nineties of the last century opened the doors of their homes and accepted refugees from our country. As one of the best integrated communities, we knew how to thank our friends, making an important contribution to building a multicultural Canadian society. Allow me, on behalf of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to thank Canada and the Canadian people for their support to Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially for the dedicated cultivation of the culture of remembrance of the genocide of Bosniaks in Srebrenica. Bosnia and Herzegovina extremely respects Canada's contribution to the culture of remembering the genocide in Srebrenica. We especially respect the fact that the Canadian Parliament unanimously adopted the Resolution recognizing the genocide and establishing the Srebrenica Genocide Remembrance Day in Canada. The Canadian Parliament unanimously adopted a historic proposal to recognize the month of April as a month of remembrance, condemnation and prevention of genocide and recognized the committed genocides, including the genocide in Srebrenica. Members of the Canadian Parliament submitted a parliamentary petition calling on the Canadian government to enact a law that would prohibit the denial of the genocide in Srebrenica. This year, Canada joined the list of sponsors of the Resolution of the United Nations General Assembly declaring July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance for the 1995 Srebrenica genocide. I would like to thank the Bosnian and Herzegovinian organizations and communities in Canada for their continuous work on the culture of remembrance. I would like to especially thank the Canadian Genocide Research Institute for its enormous contribution in spreading the truth about the genocide in Srebrenica and justice for the victims of the terrible crime. Let this Central Canadian commemoration on the occasion of July 11, the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, be a contribution to our joint struggle for truth and justice, but also a reminder of our obligation to preserve and strengthen the culture of remembrance of the genocide in Srebrenica. May we have an eternally free, independent and whole, multicultural Bosnia and Herzegovina. dr. Denis Becirovic Organizing Committee for the Central Canada Commemoration of 29th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica
