Dear Ismail,

On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports and on my own behalf, I extend my sincerest and warmest congratulations on your fantastic result and outstanding performance at the European Senior Para-Swimming Championships.

Your success shines all the brighter considering that, just prior to the competition, an international classification decision placed you in a new, significantly higher, and more challenging competition class. Facing much older and more experienced competitors in entirely new circumstances, you once again demonstrated exceptional talent, remarkable mental strength, and the heart of a true champion.

Your unwavering fighting spirit and dignified representation of Bosnia and Herzegovina at this gathering of the continent’s best swimmers make us immensely proud. You are an enduring inspiration to our entire society and proof that there are no limits to true dedication and hard work.

We also extend our congratulations to your head coach Amel Kapo, your expert team, your family, and the SPID Swimming Club, all of whom support you on this extraordinary sporting journey. The Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports will continue to stand proudly by your side and provide strong support for your continued development and future sporting successes.

We wish you the best of luck and success in the remaining events of the championship. All of Bosnia and Herzegovina is rooting for you!
