main religious communities on Thursday visited the United Nations
headquarters in New York to issue a joint appeal for tolerance.
The Bosnian Catholic news agency IKA reported the religious
delegation included Sarajevo Archbishop Cardinal Vinko Puljic, the
Reis-ul-Ulema of the Islamic Community of BH Mustafa Ceric,
Dabrobosanski Orthodox Metropolitan Nikolaj Mrdja and the head of
the BH Jewish community Jakob Finci.
During the visit to the UN HQ the delegation was received by the UN

delegation will visit Washington, where they are due to meet
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
