A hundred years may pass until we have achieved our desired goal; or it may never happen at all. Nevertheless, sometimes we can also dream. Looking into the future, I see such a unity of forces which will bring peace and justice to the world, and I cannot but think that, even if nobody can openly stand for it as of yet, one day those who are yet to come will maybe live to see it . . .

Meeting with Štefan Füle, the European Commissioner for Enlargement
 


Štefan Füle, the European Commissioner for Enlargement, received on 10 September 2010 in Brussels the Igman Initiative delegation, consisting of  Živorad Kovaèeviæ, President of the Igman Initiative Council, Aleksandar Popov, Co-President of the Igman Initiative for Serbia and Vehid Šehiæ, Co-President of the Igman Initiative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Having been informed on the past and future activities of this network of NGOs from the countries signatories to the Dayton Agreement by the delegation members, Commissioner Füle stated that the Igman Initiative was unique by the method of conducting its activities and reputation it gained in the course of 10 years of its activities. Due to that, it made a great impact and achieved excellent results in its efforts aimed at improvement of regional cooperation. As the regional cooperation is one of absolute priorities of the EU, the Igman Initiative might count on its full support in the forthcoming period, he added. Commissioner Füle said it would be given his support in contacts with governments and in the public of the countries of the Dayton Agreement. 

As far as specific support is concerned, it is possible through realisation of joint projects as well as through a direct support to projects of Igman Initiative and its members. With regard to that, following the talks with Commissioner Füle, the Igman Initiative delegation also had talks with Mr. Yngve Engström, Head of Unit DG Enlargement.
