The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Elmedin Konaković, and his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, confirmed in a telephone conversation that Germany remains one of BiH’s key partners on the European path, development agenda and reform processes.
The ministers spoke by phone due to Konaković’s departure for the United States, although Wadephul arrived on an official visit to BiH, which kicked off a Western Balkans tour.
The heads of diplomacy emphasized that the reliable and long-standing partnership continues to bring tangible progress to institutions, communities and citizens across the country.
Minister Konaković emphasized the vital role of the Office of the High Representative (OHR) in preserving the functionality of institutions, respecting the Dayton Peace Agreement and ensuring stability, democratic governance and sovereignty. He emphasized the importance of the Bonn Powers when institutions face direct challenges, noting their key role in preserving the integrity of the Dayton Framework in the face of destabilizing political actions.
“Minister Konaković confirmed Bosnia and Herzegovina’s strong commitment to its path of European and Euro-Atlantic integration, which strengthens regional cooperation and long-term stability. He expressed deep gratitude for the continued support of allies and partners, especially Germany, in advancing these common strategic goals,” the BiH Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the US-based social network X, Federalna writes.
