EYOF 2019: Address by the Vice President Prof. Dr. Izet Radjo

At the ceremonial presentation of the BH team "EYOF 2019", on Wednesday, February 6, 2019, the Vice President of NOC BIH Prof. Dr. Izet Radjo addressed to the BIH Team and media

On that occasion, prof. Radjo pointed out that there are not many Olympic cities in the world, and even fewer cities in which the Olympic flame was lit twice. In 1984, Sarajevo had the privilege of lighting the Olympic flame, and it will have it again, on February 10, 2019, at the Asim Ferhatović Hase Olympic Stadium together with the city of East Sarajevo.

The Vice President of OK BiH also emphasized that EYOF is an excellent tool to live a different Bosnia and Herzegovina, to live in BiH where the values that EYOF brings will prevail, namely excellence, respect, esteem, friendship, trust and fair play. That is what should remain as a legacy when young people from 46 European countries leave. Bosnia and Herzegovina is proud of this project, which will awaken emotions and shape the future of young people.

This time, the youth of Europe is coming to us, our youth is welcoming it, and we will do everything in the future for our youth to stay in BiH and get the best chance.
