Xinhua, April 6, 2017 Adjust font size:

Sarajevo has retained its multiethnic course, mayor of capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina said on Thursday, as it celebrated 555 years since its establishment.

In the presence of a large number of citizens and the media, mayor of Sarajevo Abdulah Skaka emphasized the city would retain its uniqueness while following modern world trends.

"We invite all citizens to join us and openly discuss issues. Today we have a ceremonial coffee, and in the future we will certainly have days when the city administration will be available for direct questions to all the citizens of Sarajevo," said Skaka. Endit
