BiH Presidency Welcomes Formation of Anti-Terrorism Coalition

On the occasion of the formation of the anti-terrorism coalition, the BiH Presidency Chairman Dragan Čović sent a statement from the BiH Presidency to the King of Saudi Arabia Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud and the Minister of Defense Prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud, which the Patria News Agency is transmitting in its entirety.

-The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes the formation of a coalition led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which brings together 34 countries with the common goal of fighting terrorism.

We believe that an effective regional alliance has been formed that will play an extremely significant role, not only in terms of the organization, implementation, and supervision of military operations against terrorism, but also in terms of suppressing the ideology that its proponents advocate, which is directed against global civilizational achievements and relations.

We are convinced that this coalition, with the strong leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, will effectively combat the problem of terrorism and be a credible partner in the global fight against this scourge.

As a member of the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly supports this decisive act of self-organization with the aim of protecting and preserving human lives in areas of terrorist activities, as well as defending the civilizational and socio-cultural values and achievements that we advocate for, the statement of the BiH Presidency reads.
