On Saturday May 5, 2018, Bosnian Americans and friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) gathered in Washington, D.C. to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed and dedicated their lives for Bosnian statehood, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. "Bosnia regained its statehood in 1943 as a country with one of the strongest, if not the strongest, anti-fascist movements in Nazi-occupied Europe. Our statehood was reborn through bloody struggle of Bosnians of all political persuasions within the People's Liberation Movement led by Tito. One of the greatest achievements of Bosnian nation is that we were one of the very few nations in Europe not to be liberated from Nazism by the Allied forces. We liberated ourselves. Again, in the 1990s we managed to defend ourselves against overwhelming odds. However, I believe that the lowest common denominator of Bosnian history is tolerance of the other. That is why I believe that us Bosnians became such good and proud Americans today," stated ACBH President Ajla Delkic.

May 12, 2018 - "BILL CLINTON, GENERAL CLARK AND DR. HARIS SILAJDŽIĆ ON CELEBRATIONS 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF BOSNIAN STATEHOOD WITH GALA"

The keynote address was delivered by the 42nd President of the United States of America Bill Clinton who was honored with the ACBH Lifetime Achievement Award for his role in stopping the war of aggression against BiH. During his speech, President Clinton expressed gratitude for the award stating: "I actually don't believe that former presidents should get honors. I thought always the job was honor enough, but this is something I am glad to take advantage of. The opportunities that I and the people with whom I had the honor to work had to try to end the genocide in Bosnia and make a new beginning, was one of the most important things that ever happened to me, not just as President, but in my life." He went on to say that "nobody thought that the Dayton Accords was perfect. It obviously set up the possibility of paralysis."

ACBH also honored General Wesley Clark, Ret., with an ACBH Outstanding Military Service Award for his valor, and contribution to BiH's peace and stability. As the former NATO supreme allied commander, General Clark is one of the most decorated military heroes of our time who helped achieve the peace agreement that still endures to this day in BiH in the Dayton Peace Accords. He went on to command Operation Allied Force, NATO's first major combat action in the former Yugoslavia in the Spring of 1999, that drove NATO to victory against Serb forces trying to continue ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.

The ACBH Philanthropy Award was presented to Bosnian entrepreneur and humanitarian Sanela Diana Jenkins. As one of the most successful and recognizable Bosnians, Ms. Jenkins has dedicated a lot of time and resources to the advancement of justice and BiH's progress and development. She spoke poignantly about being a refugee girl in London during the war in BiH where she lost everything, including her younger brother Irnis, and how she overcame all odds to become an accomplished entrepreneur and a widely respected unwavering voice for peace and justice.
