SARAJEVO, June 21 (FENA) - President of the Bosnian-American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS) Nirvana Pištoljević, Deputy Minister of Human Rights and Refugees BiH Predrag Jović and Director of USAID Mission to BiH Peter Duffy today on Mt Jahorina officially opened the 10th edition of the Days of BHAAAS.

Pištoljevic pointed out that the main goal of the BHAAAS Days is to connect the Diaspora and BiH through science, arts and culture, and that this mission has definitely been accomplished.

She announced that 27 symposia, roundtables and panel discussions will be held in the next four days, with 375 lecturers and more than 1,000 participants from 24 countries.

“At the moment, there are some 300,000 BiH nationals that live and work in the United States. Most of these people are working hard and are very successful in many industries and almost with all of these people their country Bosnia and Herzegovina occupies a special place in their hearts. That is why USAID supports BHAAAS and its mission to connect the most prominent experts from the Diaspora with their homeland,” said USAID Mission Director Peter Duffy.

Adviser to the Minister of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina Predrag Jović, said that the ministry has followed BHAAAS’ work from the very beginning, and that it is proud to be a part of this project.

“The 10th Days of BHAAAS will bring together prominent experts from almost all industries where they will exchange their knowledge and experiences.

Events like these are very important and useful for our country because they connect our best experts from the Diaspora with experts and institutions in BiH,” added Jović.
