SARAJEVO, November 16 (FENA) - Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Šefik Džaferović said today after a meeting with the Adviser to the US Secretary of State Derek Chollet that the United States supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as BiH's path to the European Union.
“What is important is that no unilateral withdrawal from institutions is possible, i.e. further blockade of institutions must not be allowed. Within the institutions, we must resolve all issues related to our European path, issues of the reform program and everything that stands before BiH,” said Džaferović.
He underlined that today the members of the Presidency received a letter from US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, whose adviser is Chollet.
“We received a letter from Blinken and you will be notified. America remains committed to BiH and we will continue to work with our friends in order to overcome this crisis in which BiH found itself,” said Džaferović.
He is convinced that the institutions will be unblocked and that they will continue on the path of reforms.
“There is simply no other way and that is the best for all of us, all peoples and citizens. The whole world sees this and this is the only possible way. We need to improve the framework in which we function, to discuss all issues in parliaments, but the precondition is that the institutions function. I hope that with the help of friends in the world we will resolve this situation,” said Džaferović.
The meeting was also attended by BiH Presidency Chairman Željko Komšić, BiH Presidency member Milorad Dodik, as well as US Special Envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar and US Ambassador to BiH Eric Nelson.
