"Mr President, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a place which has special significance, and I have no hesitation in saying that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the guilty conscience of Europe today. Almost 20 years ago, this former Yugoslav republic witnessed the most horrific crimes to be committed in Europe since the Second World War. At the time, a helpless West looked on at it all and did not help – something I think we still regret today – and we and the majority of all the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina who lost fathers and children still find this a cause for weeping.
Therefore, it seems today that help given to Bosnia and Herzegovina in its European aspirations represents the payment of a specific kind of moral debt which Europe has to this special place. We can see a great many problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the coexistence in one country of people of different faiths and nationalities also presents many opportunities. Let us hope that the peaceful development of Bosnia and Herzegovina will continue, and that the country will find a place in the European Union."@en1
