Support of French people when it was the most difficult!Prime Minister of Bosnian-Podrinje canton Gorazde Salko Obhodjas hosted a reception for Deputy Mayor of French town Saint Brieuce Alain Cadec who visited Gorazde on the occasion of 8th International Friendship Festival “Gorazde 2005”.
On that occasion Mr. Cadec invited Prime Minister Obhodjas to visit this French town in province of Bretagne, which residents wrote petitions to the French President Mitterrand and appeals for help to Gorazde and BiH and sent convoys with humanitarian aid and their absolute support.
It should be stressed that Collective “Bretagne-Gorazde” was initiator of the first Friendship festival in 1998 and residents of this town, owing to this co-operation, had the opportunity to see and meet many artists from France and later on from other towns that became friends of Gorazde.
Invitation for co-operation between Bosnian-Podrinje canton Gorazde and French province Bretagne, which should, from cultural, develop into economic and other forms of co-operation, met with good response of the officials of Bosnian-Podrinje canton Gorazde and it is to be expected that this is only one of many meetings that will happen in the future among proven friends, Gorazde and France.
