Turković in Washington: Rejection to accept others can have severe consequences

FENA Press release

WASHINGTON / SARAJEVO, February 7 (FENA) - BiH Foreign Minister Bisera Turković attended a working dinner on the occasion of launching of the International Religious Freedom Alliance at the invitation of United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. 

The Alliance should be a network of countries dedicated to protecting freedom of belief around the world. The Alliance's founding is guided by the idea that more work should be done to protect the freedom of religion or belief of minority groups worldwide, the fight against discrimination and the judicial processes that essentially deny freedom of belief.

The Alliance aims to fight for the freedom of all religious beliefs, which retains the right of individuals not to believe, to change their beliefs or to manifest beliefs either individually or in community with others.

In her speech, Minister Turković emphasized that Bosnia and Herzegovina fully supports the freedom and practice of religious commitment.

She emphasized that this year's 25th commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide reminds her that wrong perceptions and rejection of others and different can have severe consequences.

Minister Turković emphasized the need to promote educational standards that would teach children from a young age that all people are equal, with the same rights, and with tolerance of one another. She further said that the importance of promoting equality in education systems is essential in order to guarantee the right to diversity in a pluralistic society.

BiH Foreign Minister met with Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany Heiko Maas in Berlin and with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, the BiH Foreign Ministry announced.
