"I believe he will also call on us to join the big European family,
because diversity and multicultural society already exist in
Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnia-Herzegovina is the image of Europe,"
Covic said in an interview to two news agencies from the country's
two entities.
Pope John Paul II is to visit Banja Luka on June 22, when he will
beatify Catholic layman Ivan Merz.
