”So, they discussed further challenging activities that are ahead, as well as efforts to achieve equality for Croats in BiH, ” the HNS BiH announced on Thursday.
Covic thanked Prime Minister Plenkovic and the Government of the Republic of Croatia for “the immeasurable contribution that this Government has made and continues to make in the fight for legitimate representation of the constituent peoples, continuous commitment to the equality of Croats, and the continuation of the European path and also a more functional BiH.“
The statement said that the rights of the constituent peoples of BiH could not be further violated.
It was also mentioned that it is necessary to immediately eliminate discrimination and inequality and ensure the equality of all three peoples through urgent electoral reform that will enable the legitimate representation of the constituent peoples in BiH.
