The Patria news agency transmits the telegram in full.  

-With deep sorrow I received the news of the shooting with tragic consequences in Orlando.

At this moment of deep sorrow, I wish, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of BiH and my own behalf, to express my sincere condolences and sympathy to you, the American people, the grieving families and friends of the victims, with wishes for a speedy recovery of all the injured.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina most strongly condemns the senseless terrorist attack in Orlando, which shows that hatred towards others and those who are different has not died out.

Although the motives are not fully known at this moment, there is no doubt that this is an act of horror and a terrible crime. It is clear that this unprecedented massacre in the history of the USA was initiated by hatred against sexual minorities, and it shows that it is necessary to strengthen efforts to achieve full freedoms and human rights of all vulnerable groups, and to strengthen the fight against hatred and barbarism, the telegram states.
