Today the Embassy joined the commemoration organised by @cityofsarajevo at the Kazani memorial. All civilian victims deserve equal respect, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Remembrance cannot be selective and the suffering of one community cannot diminish that of others

Back to school again this year! We delivered textbooks, dictionaries and books for young readers to schools and universities teaching Italian in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in support of a strong and vibrant Italian-speaking community. Happy reading!
Today, as Italy bids its final farewell to Sergeant Simone Ruggia, Sergeant Claudio Marchesi, Lieutenant Franco Adriano Zecchillo and Sergeant Laura Procacci, all Embassy staff in Sarajevo observed a minute of silence in their memory. We will carry them in our hearts.
Today, Ambassador Castellani visited Italcomposites, an Italian company producing composite profiles through pultrusion technology. A chance to see Italian industry up close and to strengthen economic cooperation between Italy and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Constructive discussions today at the Security Roundtable in Camp Butmir, co-hosted by @euforbih Commander Major General Maurizio Fronda and @natobih Commander Brigadier General Jamie Fowler.
We spoke about the political and security situation in 🇧🇦BiH following the general elections, as well as our continuous coordination and cooperation in supporting the country and its institutions in ensuring stability, development and a safe and secure environment for all.
Earlier this month, the 🇪🇺EU allocated a new €10 million package in support for Medical Units in the the Armed Forces of partners in the Western Balkans through European Peace Facility, and the BiH Armed Forces have previously also received €35 million over three assistance measures.
The EU remains unequivocally committed to BiH's territorial integrity, sovereignty and constitutional order, while #EUFOR Althea is a key element of our support.

Today, together with 🇪🇺EU Ambassadors in 🇧🇦BiH, we paid a visit to BiH Central Electoral Commission and met with its President Kalaba as well as other @IZBORI_BA members Arnautović, Rogić, Bakalar and CEC Secretary Mišković.
BiH CEC has worked with great commitment and professionalism to ensure the successful conduct of 2026 General Elections and implementation of new technologies, despite many challenges. We thank them and commend their dedication and hard work.
It was also good to discuss the elections overall, in particular the functioning of new technologies, including what lessons can be learned from both positive experiences and challenges so that the process can be further improved.
For our part, the EU and its Member States will continue to stand by BiH CEC and to support the efforts to strengthen electoral integrity and democratic processes in BiH, which are also key elements of the country's path towards the EU membership.
🇪🇺🤝🇧🇦
Join us on 20 October at 6 p.m. for the 26th Week of the Italian Language in the World! Elvira Mujčić will present an unpublished story, with music by Hana Andrle and Bakir Samardžić, followed by a round table on how words become ideas, projects and creations. 🇮🇹🇧🇦

Together with Amb. Soreca and 🇪🇺 MS Ambassadors in 🇧🇦, Amb. Castellani visited the Srebrenica Memorial in Potočari today.
Today, together with Ambassadors and diplomatic representatives of all EU Member States’ Embassies in BiH, we visited the Srebrenica Memorial in Potočari and paid our respects to the victims of the genocide.
The EU’s stance is clear. There is no room for the denial of genocide and crimes against humanity, or for the glorification of those convicted of war crimes. The rulings of international courts are facts to be respected.
The European Union and its Member States will continue to stand firmly with the victims and survivors. Our joint commitment is unwavering. To the truth, to justice, and to remembrance that honours more than 8,000 men and boys murdered in July 1995.
We spoke today with Munira Subašić and other Mothers of Srebrenica who have worked tirelessly to ensure the memory of the victims is never forgotten.
Remembering the Srebrenica genocide is a responsibility towards the future, to rebuild trust and to ensure that new generations inherit peace rather than division.
🇮🇹 Bando Balcani 2026 is open: funding for projects on peace, human rights, democratic consolidation and European integration in the Western Balkans, including Bosnia and Herzegovina.
📅 Deadline: 30 September 2026
