FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, March 15 (FENA) - The BiH Presidency member Mladen Ivanić is taking part in the work of the 6th Baku World Forum in Azerbaijan.

In his address today at the panel "Majorities vs. Minorities", he said that the relationship between the majority community and the minority is a key issue for relations in the Balkans and beyond.

He added that he considers the Dayton Peace Agreement a good framework for dealing with this relationship, because as such, it did not identify the winners or the defeated.

"I therefore believe that the solutions introduced by the Dayton Agreement can serve as a model and example for other areas to establish a balance in relations between majority and minority communities in one country," said Ivanić.

Addressing the Forum's participants, he said that the Dayton Agreement found a balance between basic democratic principles and the protection of rights of minority groups, which is a key challenge that many societies might face in the future.

“In order to reach the right solution, the participation of politicians who are ready to compromise is very much needed, said Ivanić.

The topic of this year's Baku Forum, which is being held until March 17, is how to bridge gaps in the creation of inclusive societies.

The Baku Forum for the sixth time has brought together numerous current and former European and world leaders in the debates on today's global challenges and the key aspects of the changes that will unfold in the future.

In addition to the heads of states and governments, the Forum has also brought together leaders from the public and private sectors and civil society.

The BiH Presidency member Mladen Ivanić spoke on the sidelines of the Forum with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, President of Albania Ilir Mets and Prime Minister of Turkey Binali Yıldırım.
