He said that these two countries have increasingly strong cultural, historical, and political ties, and their desire, as he stated, is to further develop cooperation. "This is an opportunity to express sincere gratitude to Austria for everything and for the assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina," he conveyed, reminding that this country accepted 100,000 people during the 1990s during the aggression against our country. Bećirović also noted that Austria supports European integrations and helps on that path. He reminded of the strategic goals of our country, which relate to membership in the European Union and the NATO alliance. "We have achieved positive progress on the EU path in the last three years. If we ask whether that path should have been of higher quality and faster, the answer is yes. However, we are faced with obstructions within Bosnia and Herzegovina that we need to overcome as soon as possible," he emphasized. Bećirović also mentioned Austria's good economic cooperation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and how the goals are projects that will bring long-term benefits. "Austria is one of the largest foreign investors in our country," he said. He presented data that 170,000 people of Bosnian-Herzegovinian origin reside in Austria, as well as more than 3,000 students. "They contribute to strengthening ties. I am glad to hear that these people are integrated into society and we are proud of them," Bećirović emphasized. He also thanked for the support regarding the adoption of the Resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica and stressed the need to educate young people so that such evil is not repeated. "Thank you for the encouraging messages," Bećirović concluded. Responding to a question about the possible launch of an investigation into the Sarajevo Safari, Bećirović stated that the full truth about the brutal aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war years is still not known. "That is a question for the judiciary. I encourage them to work in a lawful manner because the victims deserve it. The question of the investigation is serious and must be answered by the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina," he said.
