NATO strongly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a stable and secure BiH, in accordance with the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH and other relevant international agreements, according to the NATO announcement from the summit in Vilnius.
“We encourage BiH to take advantage of NATO’s support and intensify efforts to achieve progress in reforms in key areas, including much-needed political and electoral reforms, in the area of the rule of law, as well as economic and defense reforms, without questioning the final decision on NATO membership “, the announcement states.
The Alliance states that it continues to support reform efforts, including through the newly agreed package for building defense capacities, the NATO headquarters in Sarajevo and broad cooperative tools for security and partnership, as well as through the BiH Reform Program with NATO.
“We encourage domestic reconciliation and call on political leaders to refrain from secessionist rhetoric and divisive actions. We remain committed to BiH’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations,” the announcement states.
