The unfortunate failure of political parties to respond to the High Representative’s April 7 call to reach a consensus and form the government in FBiH left the High Representative no other option but to act, states on its Twitter account the US Embassy in Sarajevo regarding today’s decision of the High Representative Christian Schmidt on unblocking the appointment of the FBiH Government.
The embassy points out that another period of the government in technical mandate would be harmful and destabilizing not only for the Federation, but for the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
They welcome the High Representative’s call for parties in the Federation to discuss constitutional reforms in the future, but emphasize that the Federation must not remain without power in the meantime.
– We hope all parties will seize this opportunity to deliver the governance that BiH citizens have been denied over the past four years. Bosnia and Herzegovina needs functional, efficient, and accountable government in the Federation to move towards Euro-Atlantic integration. True patriotism is about creating a better future for your fellow citizens – said the Embassy.
