The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Bosnia and Herzegovina reacted today to the High Representative’s decisions regarding the financing of the elections, emphasizing once again that without an appropriate UN Security Council resolution, Christian Schmidt’s actions as High Representative in BiH are illegitimate.
“In that context, we declare that his so-called decisions are not binding. As for the essence of the last of them, which refers to the holding of elections – the last limit of cynicism has been overcome. Never before have international officials so shamelessly encroached on someone else’s wallet. Although, to be honest, this action organically fits into the pirate logic of the collective West, which is clearly shown by the illegal restrictions on Russia,” according to the Russian embassy.
They add that “the absurdity of Christian Schmidt’s actions is underlined by the fact that the parties in BiH have reached a compromise on this issue.”
“Moreover, there were concrete proposals for overcoming the situation. But again, brute force prevailed, deliberately destabilizing the situation in BiH. We reaffirm the need for the BiH parties themselves to reach a solution on all key issues, that there is no alternative to dialogue and compromise, including the parameters of the organization of truly free and democratic elections, for which there are the necessary legal mechanisms. We will not be surprised if the political line of the so-called The international community has led to the fact that, “tired of the arbitrariness of Bosnians and Herzegovinians”, it will “choose” local representatives in government structures in its own image and opportunity. And that will be the apotheosis of the Western “democratic” governance of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” according to a statement from the Embassy of the Russian Federation in BiH.
