"[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 uprkos tome stabilno napredovanje [BiH] od ruševina rata do prednosti mira, pokazuje da zemlje mogu biti obnovljene -- i da se zaista mogu obnoviti relativno brzo», izjavio je Ešdaun na otvaranju mosta.
