Message from the Founder
The Foundation is an independent, non-govermental, non-profit, and strictly non-political organization dedicated to the protection and promotion of the shared heritage of Sarajevo. And what is Sarajevo’s shared heritage? In a nutshell, it is a common heritage of humanity! Sarajevo is a unique symbol of universal multiculture and a hub for civilization.
Sarajevo is not just a geographical or political term, but primarily a civilizational and cultural notion. The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long and rich history of religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity. Sarajevo is not just a city, but a living paradigm of universal values. This paradigm is, in essence, at the very heart of the idea of Europe, and that is what modern Europe should strive for. Unity and richness in diversity have been and still remain a trademark of Sarajevo for the past five
