The European Movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina has awarded Valentin Inzko, who is leaving BiH after serving as the country’s international administrator for more than a decade, the “Key of the Heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
Appointed in 2009, Inzko served as High Representative in BiH and was tasked with overseeing the civilian implementation of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement.

His successor, German politician Christian Schmidt, took over the post formally on Sunday.
“In this way, the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a symbolic way, paid tribute to High Representative Inzko, who for almost twelve years successfully maintained peace, stability and, within his powers, made a significant contribution to the social development of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” the European Movement in BiH said.
“Time is the best indicator of everyone's work and we in the European Movement are convinced that even those who criticize Mr. Inzko today, especially domestic politicians, will eventually have to understand that it is not the role of High Representatives to build the state and social order – it is their job. They are the ones who, sooner or later, together with citizens, NGOs and other social factors, will have to take responsibility for our and their state, which domestic forces will have to make functional and open enough for all our citizens. The ‘Key to the Heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina’ is awarded only on special occasions, to persons who have indebted BiH society with their work and commitment,” it said.
