Džaferović: I welcome British sanctions against Dodik, I expect the EU countries to do the same

“The United Kingdom is one of the witnesses of the Dayton Agreement and a member of the Peace Implementation Council, and it is necessary to react when the Dayton Agreement is undermined, and that is exactly what the authorities of the RS entity are doing,” said Džaferović.

He added that through a series of unconstitutional laws, decisions and conclusions, the authorities of the RS entities attacked the Dayton Peace Agreement and 27 years of its implementation.

“This has seriously endangered stability and shaken the peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is especially worrying considering the Russian aggression against Ukraine, as well as the fact that the RS authorities led by Dodik support that aggression,” he pointed out.

Welcoming the decision of the Government of the United Kingdom, he reiterated the call to the member states of the European Union to impose sanctions on the authorities of the RS entities, because European security and stability, which Dodik undermines, must be above internal disputes in the EU.

“If it is not possible to find a consensus on this issue, the EU must not be a hostage of one of the members, and other countries should impose sanctions on Dodik and those who follow him,” concluded Džaferović.

Due to the undermining of the Dayton Peace Agreement, undermining the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, denial of genocide and glorification of war criminals, the officials of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) are banned from traveling to Great Britain and their property and business with British citizens are frozen.

The UK Government, working in coordination with the United States and other like-minded partners, expressed hope that today's sanctions would encourage other states to apply similar restrictive measures that hold politicians accountable for their destabilizing and dangerous behavior.
