FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, September 18 (FENA) - Four young leaders from Bosnia and Herzegovina, participants of the Advanced Leadership Politics Institute (ALPI) program, paid a study visit to the United States.

Over the course of seven days, they had the opportunity to meet with congressmen, senators, representatives of the State Department, USAID, the U.S. Helsinki Commission, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and numerous other influential officials.

Program participants Olga Tmušić liked the visit to the Maryland Senate the most.

“We met with Senate President Mike Miller and Senator Clarence Lam there and it was inspiring to talk to them, to hear more about functioning of this state,” said Tmušić, adding that they also visited the governor's cabinet at the end of their visit.

“The most important message I carry from all the meetings we have had is that people we talked to are truly committed to our country, interested in the situation in BiH, especially for the well-being of all BiH citizens,” said ALPI study visit participant Amir Vrca.

The ALPI program for young leaders, implemented by the International Republican Institute in BiH, gathered young people from 10 political parties from BiH with the aim of connecting them, working together and intensifying cooperation on issues of national importance.

During the program, participants were encouraged to implement joint cross-party activities, and the most successful of them received the opportunity to visit the United States as a reward, the organizers stated.
