Your Excellency,
On behalf of 350,000 Bosnian Americans, and 50,000 Bosnian Canadians we would like to express our disappointment at your attendance of the concert held at the United Nations that was organized by Vuk Jeremic, Foreign Affairs Minister of the Republic of Serbia. The concert was a scandalous insult to the victims of genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) because the orchestra played the infamous and offensive Serb nationalist song "March on the River Drina".
