“We strongly condemn today’s scandalous move by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of BiH, Staša Košarac, who sent a World War II military helmet to the High Representative, accompanied by a tasteless and inflammatory letter. Such behavior is unacceptable for a public official,” the EU Delegation said.
They called on political leaders to act responsibly and work to calm the situation in the country instead of deepening divisions.
“Political actors have a special responsibility to reduce tensions, not to deepen divisions. We call on all actors to refrain from provocative rhetoric and actions,” they said.
