Dear Mrs Head of ARMA and esteemed guests!

First and foremost, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the gracious invitation and warm hospitality extended to me and my colleagues. Despite the challenging circumstances, marked by aggression against your nation and the daily trials endured by this beautiful city, I want to emphasize the profound sense of safety and comfort we feel here in Kyiv.

While our nation may not boast the size or property holdings akin to Ukraine or ARMA, the significance of our efforts mirrors yours. Within FAZUOl (Seized Property Management Agency), we tirelessly combat corruption and organized crime, a mission we have pursued for seven years. During this time, we have overseen 225 (two hundred and twenty five) court decisions totaling over 47 million BAM. Though modest in comparison, it is worth noting that Bosnia and Herzegovina houses half the population of Kyiv.

Our commitment to Ukraine runs deep, exemplified by our recent gesture of providing one of our most valuable assets, a hotel, to Ukrainian refugees with the blessing of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Moreover, we remain steadfast in our support of Bosnia and Herzegovin a's fight against crime and its journey towards European integration, upholding principles of professionalism and ethics akin to your esteemed agency.

I firmly believe that our visit today will mark the beginning of a fruitful, long-term partnership between ouragencies, enriched by the exchange of international experiences and best practices.

During today's presentation, we were inspired by the remarkable achievements of your Agency, under the adept leadership of Mrs. Olena Duma. Many of the strategies showcased for managing confiscated assets hold promise for implementation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we eagerly anticipate exploring these avenues further.

In closing, I extend my best wishes for continued success in your endeavors. May our nations, and our agencies, forge stronger bonds and elevate cooperation to new heights.

Let our collective efforts serve as a beacon, demonstrating that corruption has no place in shaping our future, and that our shared commitment to integrity and justice will endure as a legacy for generations to come.
