The member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denis Bećirović, pointed out during the meeting with the United States Congressman Michael Turner from the Federal State of Ohio, the importance of a stronger involvement of the US administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bećirović pointed out that the strong support of the United States of America for BiH’s entry into NATO and the European Union is a guarantee for peace and security in the region, especially since the new geopolitical circumstances dictate the need for a new and more decisive engagement of the West towards BiH and the region.
A member of the BiH Presidency stated that sanctions against certain politicians in BiH are not the best solution, but that they are necessary in cases when individuals, such as the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, threaten the foundations of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
He believes that it is better to sanction irresponsible individuals than to allow them to endanger the peace process, it was stated in a statement from the BiH Presidency.
He also thanked for the previous support and help in the reform efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the way to Euro-Atlantic integration, the fight against corruption and the establishment of the rule of law.
Congressman Turner, together with Senator John McCain, is the most deserving member of Congress for the admission of Montenegro to NATO. He served as the mayor of the city of Dayton during the negotiations on ending the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina at a military base on the outskirts of the city.
