Republic of Srpska Represented at Horasis Global Summit 2026

Mario Đuragić, Head of the Republic of Srpska Representation in Brussels, participated in the Horasis Global Summit 2026, held from 10 to 12 November in Medellín, Colombia. He took part in a panel discussion entitled “Learning from History to Shape Tomorrow”.

The panel took place on 11 November at the Universidad de Medellín and focused on the relevance of historical experiences in understanding contemporary global transformations and shaping the future economic, political and social order.

The discussion explored major periods of transformation throughout history, ranging from industrial revolutions to geopolitical realignments, examining how societies have responded to crises, disruption and changing global circumstances. Particular attention was given to the lessons that can be drawn from historical successes and failures, and how a deeper understanding of the past can help decision-makers address today's challenges and avoid repeating previous mistakes.

In addition to Mario Đuragić, the panel featured Luis D. Monsalve, former Ambassador of Colombia to China; Katerina von Baudissin, Senior Advisor for Public Financial Management and Governance from Norway; Famor Botero, Chairman of Famorpictures, USA; and Santiago Uribe, Co-Founder of Azimut Energía, Colombia. The discussion was chaired by Juliana Ramalho, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Talento Sênior, Brazil.
