Biography
Muhamed Sacirbey
Muhamed Sacirbey

Muhamed Sacirbey is a Bosnian-American lawyer and businessman. He served Bosnian government during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War and shortly after. When the Bosnian War broke out, he became Bosnia's first ambassador to the United Nations and foreign minister.

During the war, he made many pleas for the lifting of the arms embargo against the Bosnian government and made repeated calls for the UN to protect the so-called safe areas from indiscriminant attacks. He traveled the world in a bid for support and funds. In November 1995, he accompanied the Bosnian delegation to the peace negotiations in Dayton, Ohio. The settlement came to be known as the Dayton Accords.
