What the famous say about March 1: Let us be dignified, not forget the deserving, clean our country

Today Bosnia and Herzegovina celebrates its day, the day we became an independent and sovereign state, recognized by major world powers, and social media is abuzz with various messages, writes the Patria news agency.

Among the numerous congratulations, there are very interesting messages with various lessons that emphasize how today's day should be marked with dignity and pride.

Many prominent figures from our country have congratulated Independence Day, and the Patria agency conveys some of them.

Al Jazeera journalist Emir Delić left an interesting message pointing out the importance of today's day.

- Independence Day is to be celebrated and marked, not to be defiant. Dignity is a very important quality, sometimes we are not even aware of how much - wrote Delić.

Analyst Almir Terzić emphasizes that Bosnia and Herzegovina today marks the 24th anniversary of independence.

- Happy anniversary and may it be marked by remembering the people who, among others, are deserving of it, including Bogić Bogićević, Tatjana Ljuić - Mijatović, Miro Lazović, Stjepan Kljuić, Jusuf Pušina...
And as Lazović and Pušina told me a few days ago, excluding themselves, although they too are forgotten, it is a stain on the state not to remember those listed. And many others - states Terzić.

Salem Šehović, a Sarajevo writer, says that "it is nice to see Bosnians and Herzegovinians since this morning 'posting' pictures of beautiful flowers, flags and coats of arms of our centuries-old BiH on Facebook".

- It would be nicer to see that the 'so-called elite' does not throw garbage from balconies in the center of Sarajevo. Bosnia and Herzegovina is loved and built through good deeds, not beautiful words. Bosnia and Herzegovina has been attacked and plundered by many enemies and will be attacked until Judgment Day, but it will survive because God protects it. To all citizens who love and beautify every inch of our homeland, happy Independence Day of BiH - wrote Šehović. (acz)
