"[BiH's] long, often difficult, frequently frustrating, usually painful, but nonetheless steady ascent from the ruin of war to the benefits of peace, shows that countries can be rebuilt -- and indeed, they can be rebuilt relatively quickly," Ashdown said at the opening.
"Dugo, često teško i frustrirajuće, obično bolno, ali unatoč tomu stabilno napredovanje BiH od ruševina rata do prednosti mira, pokazuje kako zemlje mogu biti obnovljene -- i to obnovljene relativno brzo", izjavio je Ashdown na otvaranju.
