SARAJEVO, October 6 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bisera Turković presented diplomatic passports to the best basketball players of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Jusuf Nurkić and Džanan Musa.
In her address, Turković pointed out that these are two young and successful athletes who are the best ambassadors of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the world.
“We are proud of their results. They have shown that hard work can make a world result. Today, they play in the best league in the world - the NBA and always proudly point out that they come from BiH,” she said.
“They are a role model for many children in BiH who are starting their first sports steps. Therefore, I used my right to award them diplomatic passports,” said Turković.
Jusuf Nurkić, a basketball player for the NBA team Portland Trail Blazers, emphasized that at the beginning of his sports career, he never imagined that his country would show him such an honor.
“When I left the small town Svojat, I never dreamed that I would get something from the state. But everything is possible, even to get from Svojat to the NBA league. The passport will make my travels much easier and I am grateful to Minister Turković for that,” said Nurkić.
Brooklyn Nets NBA basketball player Džanan Musa emphasized that this is a great honor and pride for him.
“I cannot describe how much I love this country and I can say that I am very proud today. A diplomatic passport is something that every Bosnian and Herzegovinian would be proud of, and I will continue to represent BiH in the best light,” said the basketball player.
