Pope Francis met with the newly appointed Prime Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Borjana Kristo.
The two discussed the positive contribution the Catholic Church has made to society and the need for social equality for all within the country.
In 2015, Pope Francis traveled to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a “sign of peace,” 20 years after their deadly civil war. In the meeting, he expressed his desire for peace in the religiously and ethnically diverse country, often called the Jerusalem of Europe.
POPE FRANCIS
The greatest wish for Bosnia and Herzegovina: peace.
The Pope also presented a bronze olive branch and this year's Message for Peace to the Prime Minister.
