PRIME MINISTER FBIH NIKŠIĆ ANNOUNCED HELP TO FAMILY OF MINER WHO DIED IN MARMOR MINE

SARAJEVO, MAY 8 (ONASA) – After the accident at the Mramor mine, where miner Asim Šehanović was killed, the Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nermin Nikšić, announced help to his family.
– When a tragedy like this happens in the marble mine pit, the man becomes speechless and all the words get stuck in his throat. To make the irony even greater, as they say, according to mining standards, this pit was considered one of the safer ones, wrote the Prime Minister of FBiH.
Nikšić emphasized that he always admired people “who every day going to work, going down into the pit, risk their lives fully aware of the risks and the possibility of a tragedy like this last one”.
– They won’t admit it, on the contrary, for them it’s the everyday life they’re used to and the love they show for their profession is incredible. Asim Šehanović was the best example of that. From the rank of best cadet, he took off his honorable officer’s uniform and replaced it with the most honorable chamberlain uniform. And, as they say, he was an example to his colleagues in everything. Unfortunately, we have become convinced that life is not fair and that the best among us most often suffer. “I sincerely hoped until the last moment that the rescue teams who made superhuman efforts would report a different news than the one we were faced with,” he said.
He added that the loss the family is facing cannot be replaced.
– I have no doubt at all that his work colleagues will support them, of course Elektroprivreda and the Government will get involved as much as possible, but there is nothing that will replace their father and husband. I express my condolences to his family, friends and work colleagues for the loss of a caring husband and father, a good friend, a hardworking miner, the first digger, Nikšić pointed out, and added:
“This is a great loss for all of them, and what we can offer them in such difficult times is our deep sympathy and help. May Asim Šehanović have eternal peace and rest in the Bosnian land,” Nikšić wrote on his Facebook profile. (end)
