Proud host of the final night of #EuropeanFilmDays2025 with two brilliant Dutch films: Oscar-winner I’m Not a Robot & heartfelt Jippie No More. A night of thought-provoking humor, identity & raw family chaos. #DutchCinema at its finest! 🇳🇱🎬🇧🇦 EU in Bosnia and Herzegovina DutchCulture Amsterdam Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱


The most powerful weapon in any democracy is the citizen who knows their rights – and who keeps asking questions. Students at #CSS did that. Thoughtful & challenging questions brought depth to our discussion on NL’s security sector, making the lecture very meaningful. Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱


Humbled to have joined Out of Area in #Goražde this week. The real ambassadors of #theNetherlands? The 190 incredible #volunteers bringing joy to children in #BosniaandHerzegovina these days. Their dedication speaks louder than any speech ever could. 🇳🇱🇧🇦 Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 #NLinBiH

“Oost west, thuis best”, we say to appreciate where one is from. At the 10th @BookStanFest last night we were right in the centre of the worlds’ literature: NO EAST. NO WEST. #NLinBiH supports those strengthening the foundations for an open society. Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 🇳🇱🇧🇦


"Samir Mehić Bowie, letters from Srebrenica", a movie produced by Detektor.ba (BIRN BiH) and Srebrenica Memorial Center, was shown last night to a new audience. Even after seeing it 4-5 times, it impresses and touches me. Very proud of this result of projects funded by #MATRA program of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱.


Reforming the justice sector by rectifying systemic deficiencies is a must for BiH's EU path. A #MATRA project, implemented by Vasa Prava BiH, once again stresses #RuleofLaw as the most important basis for a functional state and society. #VSTV EU in Bosnia and Herzegovina Davor Bunoza Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱


Today, 2 days before the 30th anniversary of #SrebrenicaGenocide, I laid a flower at Samir Mehić – Bowie’s grave. A young man whose life and dreams were scattered in 1995. Tomorrow, at reopening of Lives Behind the Fields of Death Srebrenica Memorial Center, his story lives on. Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱

Today, together with @MinisterBZ Veldkamp, I paid respect to the thousands of people brutally murdered during the #SrebrenicaGenocide of July 1995. Because of who they were. People with dreams and ambitions. People like you and me. Today and always we remember. Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱


The Netherlands welcomes the High Representative's decision, which enables the funding of vital election integrity measures and strengthens democratic processes in BiH. Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱
