From IFRC Weekly News 06/00
The International Federation Delegation
in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), in its efforts to encourage the reconciliation
process and develop the entity Red Cross Organisations in the Federation
of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska, has begun the translation
of the Strategy 2010 document in Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian. The purpose
is to ensure that, going beyond ethnic differences, the Strategy, will
reach all corners of BiH and the thousands of volunteers and staff who
make the work of the two Red Cross organisations possible. They are keeping
hope alive and supporting the many vulnerable people who are still suffering
in Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to the lack of the basic resources for survival.
More than four years after the war, the need to promote reconciliation
between the three communities is still present and the local Red Cross
structures have been active in this respect and well placed to play an
important role in this process.
