Monuments of gratitude for Mohamad bin Mahathir, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, and Madeleine Albright, the former US Secretary of State, were ceremoniously unveiled today in Alipašina Street (Kemal Monteno Park).

The monuments were unveiled by former members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1996) Ejup Ganić, Mirko Pejanović and Stjepan Kljuić, in the presence of the outgoing Mayor of Centar, Mr. Nedžad Ajnadžić.

Led by the Mahathir, Malaysia has provided exceptional assistance and support in the most difficult days for Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in the later period of reconstruction and recovery.

The newly discovered monuments thus joined their predecessors in the Alley of Foreign Statesmen (Paddy Ashdown, Alois Mock, Tadeusz Mazowiecki).

The author of the monuments is the famous academic sculptor Enes Sivac. Peace pigeons were sculpted at the top of the monument as both statesmen are still active on the world stage.
