oving into diplomacy 21 years ago was a dream come true for Nicola Minasi, the Ambassador of Italy to Bosnia and Herzegovina, because he always wanted to be a diplomat and serve his country. He is particularly pleased to use his diplomatic powers to build good relations between B&H and Italy and
create positive values for the citizens and friends of the country he serves in.

- The mission to B&H came as a surprise for me, because I was supposed to go to another country. Right from the start, I believed it was important to listen to be able to understand what all the parties involved thought, creating opportunities in the meantime to bring people together to discuss things in order to reconcile differing opinions. 23
