Той каза, че паметникът ще "затвърди нашата собствена решимост - като пазители на мира, граждани и членове на човешкото общество - да построим по-добър живот за следващите поколения".
He said the memorial would "reinforce our own determination - as peacekeepers, citizens and members of the human family - to build better lives for succeeding generations." He urged the people of BiH to stay focused on peace and tolerance and on establishing a society based on rule of law, justice and democratic institutions.
