SARAJEVO, July 5 (FENA) - Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Šefik Džaferović commented for FENA a statement made by the Russian Ambassador Petr Ivantsov that the "integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into NATO brings into question its security and stability."
“It is quite the opposite. Integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into NATO guarantees the security and stability of our country, and statements such as this one made by the Russian ambassador seek to undermine that very stability and security,” Džaferović pointed out.
He reminded that Bosnia and Herzegovina has already passed the necessary laws, decisions and strategies that trace the country's path to NATO.
“No one outside Bosnia and Herzegovina has the right to interfere in our internal affairs, challenge the adopted laws and decisions or determine our foreign policy goals, not even the ambassador of Russia.
Bosnia and Herzegovina will continue its path towards NATO in accordance with the Law on Defense, the Foreign Policy Strategy and a number of other decisions, regardless of Russia's position,” said Džaferović.
