Skaka on Kocijančič: Great people often leave quietly, but they leave behind works that last forever

(Patria) - Janez Kocijančič, a lawyer and once a prominent politician of the older generation, who worked as a sports official for a long time and also left his mark in economics, died in Ljubljana at the age of 78. Abdulah Skaka paid tribute to Kocijančič by publishing a joint photograph.

"Great people often leave quietly, but they leave behind works that last forever.

Dear Janez, Sarajevo will never forget your love, dedication, and sincerity, the seal of strong support in the brightest moments of this City's life - 1984 and 2019.

Sarajevo has many friends and partners, but few have embraced Sarajevo and been embraced by Sarajevo like you.

We will forever remember the messages of unity, success, and togetherness you sent from a packed Koševo at the opening of EYOF. It was the crown of our joint work, recognized worldwide. We are saddened by your departure, but proud that you were our friend. May your glory be eternal! (Janez Kocijančič 1941-2020)," Skaka wrote.
