Ambassador Ibrahim Djikic, a senior diplomat and lawyer from Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina assumed the post Head of the OSCE Centre in Ashgabad on 27 January 2005. Ambassador Djikic held various high-level Foreign Ministry responsibilities in the service of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including assignments in Moscow, Brazzaville and Tunis. After Bosnia and Herzegovina's independence, he became his country's first ambassador to the Russian Federation.

He also worked as Assistant to the President of SOUR Radio and Television in Sarajevo, where his main task was international relations.

"Heading the OSCE's peace-building efforts in Turkmenistan would be a great challenge for any diplomat," Ambassador Djikic said on assuming his post. "The Centre in Ashgabad has been playing an important role in assisting the host country to implement OSCE principles and commitments. I look forward to enhancing the dialogue even more, for the benefit of the people and the region."
