Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey in BiH Sadik Babür Girgin said that the Republic of Turkey with all its institutions recognizes the genocide in Srebrenica and in this regard accepts the decisions of international courts, without the need for an additional law.

Integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Ambassador Girgin emphasized that in addition to strongly supporting the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Turkey also strongly supports the Euro-Atlantic path of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bećirović said that one of the two strategic goals of Bosnia and Herzegovina is membership in NATO, and that the Republic of Turkey, as a regional power and a very important member of NATO, can continue to provide assistance so that Bosnia and Herzegovina becomes a full member of NATO as soon as possible.

Good political relations

Bećirović and the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to BiH, Sadik Babür Girgin, stated that the two countries have traditionally good political relations, with no open bilateral issues.
