President of Bosnia and Herzegovina pays tribute to Cuba’s Jose Marti

Havana, Apr 25 (Prensa Latina) The president of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Željka Cvijanović, paid tribute on Tuesday to Cuban National Hero Jose Marti by laying a wreath before an equestrian monument in his honor in Havana.

Cvijanović was accompanied at the ceremony by Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Elio Rodriguez Perdomo.

The top Bosnian representative arrived in Cuba on Monday and today’s agenda will also include a tour of the Cuban capital.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the current constitution establishes a collective presidency among three communities: the Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian groups. Each head of State exercises their functions on a rotating basis.

Cvijanović was the eleventh prime minister of the Republic of Srpska, a Serb autonomous entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and since October 2018, she has served as president of that region.

The ceremony was held in Havana’s March 13 Park, where Jose Marti’s equestrian monument, a faithful replica of the sculpture made by US artist Anna Hyatt and located in New York’s Central Park, was inaugurated on January 28, 2018.
