SARAJEVO, September 11 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bisera Turković talked today with the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to BiH Matthew Field.
Minister Turković thanked for the help and support that the UK has provided to Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially when it comes to the reform and integration processes of BiH.
Ambassador Field emphasized that the United Kingdom attaches importance to the reform processes in BiH and announced the continuation of the implementation of British policy aimed at building a prosperous Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Field expressed his gratitude to Minister Turković and the MFA of BiH for the activities and briefings of the ambassadors accredited to BiH so far on issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meeting also focused on the holding of local elections in BiH. It was concluded that the upcoming elections in BiH, and especially the holding of local elections in Mostar, are particularly important for the European path of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
They also talked about the adoption of the Revised Strategy for Resolving War Crimes Cases, the Commission for the NATO Integration Process of BiH, and current regional issues.
Ambassador Field announced the visit of prominent British Judge Joanne Korner to BiH, who will present a report on the implementation of recommendations for improving the prosecution of war crimes in BiH.
The ambassador also informed Minister Turković about the changes in the structure of the British government. Namely, a new department of the British government, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), that was recently established, which will, among other things, support our country in creating new jobs, strengthening the rule of law and fight against corruption.
The interlocutors agreed that it is necessary to finalize the activities on signing the agreement on the continuation of trade between BiH and Great Britain since that country is no longer a member of the EU, stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of BiH.
