SARAJEVO, (Patria) - Chairman of the BiH Presidency Željko Komšić sent a telegram of condolences to US President Donald Trump.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Presidency and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in my own name, I express the deepest and most sincere condolences to you, the American people, and especially to the families and friends of those killed during the attacks in El Paso and Dayton. These reckless and senseless acts of violence deserve the harshest punishment, and they remind us how precious and fragile every life is.
