After president Elvedin Begic's welcome note, Mr. Erzik from UEFA addressed the attendees: "It's my pleasure and honor to welcome you all. I was here two years ago, and all I can see is the progress you made. I also went to Brazil last year and saw how much your football team has improved. I'd like to congratulate president Begic, general secretary Bakovic and other members of the executive board for this success. Obviously this progress wouldn't have been possible without your leadership, cooperation, clubs, delegates and other important people.
Mohamed Taa: "I'm delighted to speak at this kind of event. Not that long ago you were going through a difficult period, and it's great to see a progress you made by following UEFA's advices."
President Begic: "We are willing to accept and correct everything that's good for football and its development, but we'll vigorously oppose to all the lies, plots, and intrigues directed towards us, because the results we made give us the right to do so."
After that, president Begic presented a letter of thanks to Mr. Erzik and Mr. Taa for their personal contributions to FFBIH's development and its projects. He also asked for a moment of silence for Ibro Biogradilic and Zoran lipovac who have passed away since the last general assembly.
