20th Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum – Enhancing cooperation of Parliaments, Best Practices
Mr. Zvizdić makes the important notation that more than ever, globalization and the internet has brought the world even closer together; all parliamentarians need to take advantage of such assets. With such parliamentarians present, Mr. Zvizdić notes, the forum has only the best representatives at hand, and the forum needs to take advantage of such an opportunity.
Mr. Zvizdić brings the issues of his own country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the table. The Speaker mentions how the nation consists of different religions, races, and cultures that live together out of solidarity and mutual respect. Unfortunately, tension has gotten worse, and the government and all of its values are crumbling as of now. Mr. Zvizdić claims it is one of the saddest moments he has seen since the 1990s, and he begs upon the United States for guidance and assistance. Mr. Zvizdić greatly thanks Congressman Pittenger for the opportunity to attend and speak at the forum, and he hopes to continue such cordial relations in the future.
