I sincerely congratulate to Nirhad Mašić, a freshman student at our Faculty who has been able to do the hard part of the job - defend the world champion title. Within their possibilities, the Faculty of Forestry employees prepared a cash prize for our student. In addition, we will inform the Rectorate, the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Education and Youth and the Government and request that they award the Nirhad Mašić World Gold appropriately. We are grateful to Nirhad for representing Bosnia and Herzegovina in the best possible way, but also to the Faculty of Forestry and the University of Sarajevo on the world stage.

For me, the World Cup has been completed in the best possible way, and now I promise that I will devote myself as much as possible to my student obligations and dedicate myself to book and learning” said Mašić.
