Izetbegovic recalled that Austria was the first country to
ask from the U.N. Security Council to take concrete actions at the
beginning of the Serbian aggression. The person who had the most
important role in that mission was Mr Mock, Izetbegovic said.
Thanking for the order, Mock stressed that his commitment to
promote the values of multicultural societies was now even bigger,
adding he was convinced that ordinary people in Austria were ready
to help the reconstruction and survival of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
