We don’t want any divisions there… The last thing we need is another crisis, and we’ve already spoken about it, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an exclusive statement to Voice of America, answering a question from Voice of America’s State Department chief correspondent Nike Ching.
“Regarding possible next actions, we are considering various options, but what is absolutely clear, regardless of the possible differences that exist here between us, internally – is that this situation (in Bosnia and Herzegovina, op.ed.) must not lead to the disintegration of the country, nor must it lead to a new conflict. We are certainly considering all possible options, it seems to me that there are discussions about this even today in the United Nations, so we will see… But, I hope that we can do what we can to avoid starting another conflict in Europe…”, he said is Rubio.
A Voice of America journalist covering Secretary of State Mark Rubio’s visit to Ukraine in Jeddah asked him during the flight to comment on his post on X, in which he said that “the actions of Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik undermine the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina and threaten its security and stability.”
“Our government calls on political leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina to engage in constructive and responsible dialogue. We call on our partners in the region to join us in opposing this dangerous and destabilizing behavior,” the US Secretary of State said on X at the time.
