He added that our country expects the continuation of the proactive US role in the process of European and Euro-Atlantic integration, as well as support in the implementation of reforms, which are crucial for the functionality and stability of BiH. He expressed satisfaction with the cooperation between the two countries at the multilateral level.
He informed his interlocutors about the current political situation in our country, and the attacks of the BiH leadership of the RS entity, led by President Milorad Dodik, on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the fundamental provisions of the Dayton Peace Agreement. He warned that these are activities that threaten peace and stability as well as the progress of BiH on its path to the EU and NATO, the BiH Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
