Following tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina, PSOTC organized small reception on the occasion of International Woman’s Day presenting a small token of gratitude to the PSOTC’s female members. Our Centre is recognizing the importance of women in everyday life, either as a part of the family as a mother and a sister, or as a part of any organization as coworkers. One of the crucial things in today’s world is equal opportunity, and PSOTC is recognizing women’s contribution where, together with men, they contribute to PSOTC’s mission and success.
