Today marks 101 years since the birth of Alija Izetbegović, the first President of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Born on August 8, 1925, in Bosanski Šamac, Alija Izetbegović left a deep mark on the political and contemporary history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was a man who, in the most difficult of times, spoke of peace, freedom, dignity, and the right of Bosnia and Herzegovina to exist.
His work was defined by faith, principle, and the effort to preserve the state and the people to which he belonged. To some, he was a statesman; to others, a symbol of resistance and the struggle for Bosnia -but his name remains inseparable from the most difficult years of modern Bosnian history.
Today, 101 years after his birth, we remember him with pride and respect.
