The Salt starlet continues her reign as the most selfless celeb...
Angelina Jolie, a UNHCR ambassador, was already in Bosnia to start scouting locations for a new feature film - "a love story" she called it, about a couple that meets on the eve of the war. And we got to see the twins go along with her!
Later the actress met with Haris Silajdzic, chairman of Bosnia's three-member Presidency (see above), to discuss her continued interest in helping the refugees return home.
Silajdzic himself said that both agree "the absolute priority is education." The aim being to turn Sarajevo into a regional center of education, he continued.
Good luck!

I won't see anything she and Pitt are in or involved with.
12:07, functionally illiterate.
Stupid skank can't even manage her own family and now she is offering advice....
Why do these heads-of-state meet with her? What is the purpose? What are the results? She meets with them, to great acclaim, spouts her opinions and that changes policy how? Do the Presidents of various countries take action, or are these just photo ops that, are basically a waste of time? Ms. Jolie told the Presidents of Bosnia that education is an "absolute priority" - brilliant observation. I guess they never knew that. I sound snippy, but I am posing an honest question. Thoughts?
DOES SHE DO ANYTHING FOR THE POOR IN THE USA???? SHE MAKES HER MONEY OFF OF HARD WORKING AMERICANS, YET SHE GIVES NOTHING TO HELP THE USA. NEWS FLASH THERE ARE ALOTTTT OF KIDS THAT NEED TO BE ADOPTED IN THE US TOO AND ALOT OF POOR A HOMELESS PEOPLE IN THE USA.
She represents UNHCR (& obviously the US because she is a famous American). These leaders make time in their schedule so it must mean they have an opportunity to convey their countries interests. Go to the UNHCR website and answer your own questions. We all pay for the UN being here in the USA, so if you're so curious learn for yourself. She did, and for such a young woman, I am proud of her work.
Dear 2:16, I don't understand your response. You say, "they have an opportunity to convey their countries interests..."and I suppose you are saying that Ms. Jolie posts (or has posted) these needs on the UNHCR website so awareness can be created & donations made. Is that so? Would no one know of the earthquake in Haiti or the floods in Pakistan if not for Jolie? Here, she states that "education is a high priority" as tough they don't know that and as though that statement will create policy change or schools to be built & teachers hired. My question was, what changes are made because of the time these politicians spend with her?
Those people who are bashing Angie for all the work she does, what have you done to help anyone? She doesn't have to do anything, but she chooses too!! The people who can't even open a dictionary or use spell check, noone understands your gibberish & illiterate rantings!
To 2:34,
Just FYI: I am not looking for anyone's praise, you don't know me. I do to Kenya & Uganda ever Oct/Nov on medical missions, and I have been to Haiti on medical missions to remote mountain areas twice since the earthquake. Again, I am just curious about what impact a chat between AJ and various heads-of-state has on anything? What will change education-wise in Bosnia because she told Bosnia's leaders that she thinks education is an "absolute priority"...as though they didn't know.
Can someone tell me how she gets interviews with heads of state etc? Is she educated herself? Did she even go to high school? Can she read? I'm not trying to be horrible just wondering how it works. She says she's leaving show biz to be with the fam and movie after movie she keeps coming back. Is she driven by greed and also are these heads of state dealing with her for her large donations? I've been a volunteer all my life, paid by myself to get through college and I can't find a job for anything. So don't take it as though I'm cutting her down, I'm just wondering how she does it.
Uh 2:34, its no one not noone. Just thought I'd help you out with the spell check thing you're advocating.
Here's proof that a former junkie nutjob famewhore can become a "global ambassador" if the presss kissses your asssssss enough.
Even the bosnian president is still ROFLMAO after that meeting.
This ignorant uneducated trashy whore is preaching about education hahahahahahaha!
She is a UN amabassador .She is also very informed and dedecated person. Don't bring the six years ago divorce or her early twenties etc. This is important staff.
She has a reason to say education is important. If she doesn't deserve it she doesn't get the op. They are happy to meet her. She earned it while you busy smoking , drinking or defending hos and doing other useless staff. Go Angie!
She is now meeting with Muslim terrorists to promote her stupid movie..I bet she gave them a bj after the meeting.. everything for money and fame
This cunning woman went to Bosnia pretending to be a humanitarian who wants to "help" but really she was there just to take photos of herself with refugees to advertise her movie! She wants to make movie there cause everything there is so cheap so with minimum investment she will make tons of money! What a hypocrite!
She should feel right at home with those Muslim butchers.
To 3:13, 3:42, 4:31, 5:07. So true. Truth be told, she is a joke. I think even she knows this by now. If the general public new the truth about the horrible things shes done and done to other people they would not even give her the time of day. Unfortunately for her and Brad the truth will come to light very soon. It will make the Morton book and Star pictures seem like childs play. Notice lately how they are (the media) totally bashing Jennifer and pumping up Angie. Although it never seems to bother JA shes always so confident and happy.

Shut up You IDIOTS!!
She is A terrific person who changed her life around and is doing a lot of good around the world. At least she is not consumed with becoming a movie star like some who called herself a retard. She is already a MOVIE STAR!! Oh by the way, she graduated from high school at 16. Obviously, some of you idiots only made it to 5th grade.
you people are nuts- can she read? What an idiotic question. I have a feeling she spends a lot more time educating herself than ANY of you (including myself).
Why do these heads-of-state meet with her? What is the purpose? What are the results? She meets with them, to great acclaim, spouts her opinions and that changes policy how? Do the Presidents of various countries take action, or are these just photo ops that, are basically a waste of time?

I sound snippy, but I am posing an honest question..what do these meetings accomplish? Thoughts?
yep, AND WATER IS STILL NEEDED IN ETHEOPIA!!!!
(damn priest)
8:12 this is not your JA forever dumpee topic or who was wild when they were young special. This is important stuff. f off.
Angelina-Muslim-lover can shove her Muslim propaganda into her flat a.s!
The "useful idiot" has been given the same careful image the corrupt media has given obamao cause both are "globalists" citizens of the world commies.
And she claims to not do this stuff for her own publicity? How come she always brings "kids" and camera crew? She's a Crazzzie witch
12:47 Ignorant & Moron. read again or go back 2 school with Saint Angie...
She donates 1/3 of her income to charity. In 2006 alone she donated $6 million to helping refugees. She graduated from high school at 16 and went to college as well which is obviously further than the majority of you ignorant people got. She's met with congress for than 20 times since 2003. She's met with refugees in more than 20 countries and insists on sharing the same living conditions as the rest of the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) field staff. As Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR she uses her fame to bring attention to the plight of refugees around the world. Oh and btw she's been published multiple times in the Washington Post for her articles on the crisis in Darfur and Iraq. She published a book on her field work with UNHCR and 100% of the proceeds go to feeding and clothing the people she advocates for. Think before you type. Educate yourselves on her work, then ask yourself why she meet with heads of state. As for you Muslim hating people, I doubt you know anything about the Muslim faith therefore what you have to say is of absolutely no consequence.
