Human rights workers and activists should not forget about the suffering that the men, woman and children of Bosnia-Herzegovina continue to be affected from as a result of the torture, murder, rape and starvation of much of their country. The people of Bosnia continue to suffer the trauma and pain of the genocide and war of aggression from 1992-1995.
The world committed terrible crimes against the population of Bosnia. Future generations of Bosnian children are suffering from the physical and psychological effects of the aggression against them and their families.
There is still much human rights work and activities to be done in and with Bosnia-Herzegovina. The suffering of the people of Bosnia if treated could reduce the violence from Islamists worldwide. Is it not in everyones best interest to end the suffering of Bosnia's people?

The country needs unity and inspiration around specific goals and Plevneliev has put forward specific numbers that he wants to see achieved.
It is to be hoped that 2012 will see Bulgaria tie up the loose end of not yet being a member of the European Union’s Schengen visa zone.
