“the High representative (VP) ignores the fact that most of the issues facing Bosnia and Herzegovina, arise due to lack of consensus among the three constituent peoples, – said the Russian diplomat. Instead of exercises in the accusatory rhetoric the office of the High representative (Ohr) should work to establish a dialogue between the communities and to assist the Bosnians in the resolution of conflicts. Time external control passed. The Bosnian people deserve the right to determine their own destiny. We find the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a peaceful, stable, and not bearing threat to international peace and security. However, the High representative from time to time finds flimsy arguments in favor of continuing to maintain outdated international protectorate sovereign and independent state. Call on colleagues in the Security Council and on the Steering Committee of the Council for peace implementation (PIC RK) to take the necessary steps for the speedy and Herzegovina”.
nebesa drew attention to the fact that in his report to the VP refers to the need to implement the so-called “existing commitments of Bosnia and Herzegovina towards NATO” and notes that “all levels of government in Bosnia and Herzegovina is committed to the state rate for Euro-Atlantic integration.”
“we Consider it necessary to emphasize that in the Bosnian society there is no consensus on this issue, he stated. In the High representative’s mandate does not include promotion of European or Euro-Atlantic integration of BiH, it should not do this, abusing their powers. His areas of responsibility include working with the civilian aspects of the General framework peace agreement. Recall that the foreign policy decisions of the BiH presidency should be based on consensus. Encourage the High representative to pay greater attention to the many relevant issues on the agenda of the Federation of BiH. Among them is the upcoming appointment of a new Federal government and constitutional court, incomplete Collegium of both houses of Parliament, the lack of progress in the local elections in Mostar, and the violation of constitutional equality of the Serbs in the Federal cantons”.
the Diplomat asked why the High representative is practically demonizes the activities of the Independent international Commission of inquiry of the crimes of the period 1991-1995 against the representatives of all the peoples in the area of Srebrenica against the Serbs in Sarajevo, appointed by the government of the Republic of Srpska. “Formation of commissions was due to the obvious flaws in the ICTY and the residual mechanism, which we times, but thennarrate expressed legitimate concerns – said the Russian. In January this year, was declassified and released documents from the British archives that reveal important details about the events that occurred during the armed conflict in Srebrenica. In particular, it was confirmed that the Bosnian Serbs attacked the region, which was under the protection of “blue helmets” of the UN. I hope that the Republika Srpska appointed Independent international Commission to shed light on those tragic events.”
nebesa pointed out that Russia, as one of the international guarantors of the Dayton peace agreement, continue monitoring aimed at its strict implementation. “Supported miroshniki dialogue based on mutual respect, – he stressed. – I hope that all international partners who are sincerely interested in long-term stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina will contribute to the promotion of cooperation between the Bosnian parties will refrain from unilateral selfish assessments that only exacerbate the situation. Urge of the Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats to adopt collective approaches to resolve the existing contradictions on the firm basis of the Dayton peace agreement, which guarantees the equality of three constituent peoples”.
