Adviser to the United States Secretary of State Derek Chollet arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina today to reaffirm US support for BiH’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and call on the country’s leaders to engage in a constructive dialogue.
As previously announced from the US Embassy in BiH, Chollet should stay in our country until Wednesday, November 17.
During his visit, he will meet with senior government officials to stress that functional, democratic institutions at all levels of government are key to a better future for all citizens.
Chollet will convey a strong message that any attempt to undo 26 years of peace and progress by withdrawing from state institutions could violate the Dayton Peace Agreement, create difficulties for citizens and be a great disincentive for investors, and is a source of serious concern for the international community.
The Adviser to the US Secretary of State will also meet with the international community’s High Representative in BiH, Christian Schmidt, to express the US government’s strong support for his mandate, including the need for vital economic, electoral and anti-corruption reforms.
