Since February 7th, nothing in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been the same, but since May 14th, our obligations have multiplied

Zlatko Lagumdžija, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of BiH, said tonight at the Prosperity Forum in Sarajevo that the people from Željeznopolje fascinated him with their desire to continue growing raspberries, but that they are also unaware that they have a cluster, writes the Patria News Agency.

- We must do everything to help those people who live from agriculture to continue with the cluster, without them even knowing it is called that – said Lagumdžija.

During his address, he also spoke about retired American general David Petraeus, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and commander of US military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, who recently visited BiH as a representative of the global investment group “Kohlberg Kravis Roberts” (KKR), the owner of United Group, which includes Telemach and the new TV station N1, and which is investing in BiH.

- David told me that he is aware of how small our market is, that we are part of CEFTA, but he also told me that he came here to invest because he has a heart. He came here because we needed him as a general once, and now as an investor – emphasized Lagumdžija, adding that this conference is a great opportunity to approach what has befallen us in the right way.

- By June 17th, an assessment of everything that has happened to us will be completed. I expect and believe that this assessment will be a good basis for us to organize what is called a donor conference. I believe it is possible, I believe that the reforms being discussed are reforms that can be implemented through the country's reconstruction – added Lagumdžija, emphasizing that since February 7th, nothing in BiH has been the same (referring to the major unrest during protests), and especially not after May 14th.

- All people engaged in public service, if they have any morals, but even those who don't, but are afraid, have more obligations after February 7th, but after May 14th, that obligation has become manifold – added Lagumdžija.
