Cleverly stated that the UK’s interest was to preserve peace and respect the Dayton Peace Agreement.
He pointed out that his country’s commitment to democratic forces and the future of BiH is unquestionable and that the UK will take additional steps towards stabilizing the situation in this part of Europe.
