Ambassador's Statement Following Meeting With Religious Leaders

09/28/06

I met today with Cardinal Vinko Puljic, Archbishop of Vrhbosna Archbishopric, Reis Effendi Ceric, Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Metropolitan Nikolaj, Dabrobosanska Mitropolija of the Serb Orthodox Church in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Boris Kozemljakin, president of the Sarajevo Jewish Community.

We had a long and productive conversation about the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the elections.  We agreed that all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina have the right to and should express themselves freely.  We all expect the elections will be free, fair and peaceful.

We all call on the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina to vote on Election Day.
